Amanda Wilczewski

Amanda Wilczewski, 34, of Forest City, passed away July 14 of natural causes. Born in Norfolk, Virginia, daughter of Matthew and Mary Kay Rizner Wilczewski of Browndale, she was a graduate of Forest City Regional High School, class of 2006. She graduated from Marywood University with a bachelor's degree in business administration.

Amanda lit up every room she walked into with her beautiful smile and always lifted others up when they needed it. She had a heart of gold and was a fun-loving person. The simplest pleasures brought her the greatest joy, like spending time with her family, cooking, tending to her garden and above all being an aunt to her two nephews and two nieces.

In addition to her parents, she is also survived by two sisters, Kayla and Matera Wilczewski; grandparents, Beverly and Fred Jordan, and Winifred Rizner; several aunts, uncles and cousins; her two nephews, Damien Wilczewski and Kalum Venerio, and two nieces, Callie and Kinsley Evans, who were her world.

She was preceded in death by her grandfather, William Rizner; grandfather, Jack Wilczewski; and great-grandmother, Violet Staples.

The funeral will be Thursday, July 21, in the Jones & Brennan Funeral Home, 430 Main St., Forest City, with a blessing service at 11 a.m. Friends may call Thursday, from 9 a.m. until service time.
