Amie Scuderi Obituary

Amie Christine Scuderi

Amie Christine Scuderi, 51, of Lansford, passed away on Aug. 17, 2025, at Regional Hospital of Scranton following a cardiac arrest on Aug. 14, 2025. She was at peace and surrounded by care.

Born on July 23, 1974, in Philadelphia, Amie was the youngest of seven siblings, born to Barbara (nee Christensen) and Gerald Nehring.

Her father affectionately called her "Lil Sis" or simply "Sister." True to her name, which means "friend," Amie brought joy and laughter to her family from the very beginning.

Known for her wit and adventurous spirit, Amie was clever and always ready for fun, spending much of her youth with close friends Ruth Cannon, Zoey, and Gabrielle Cianfrani. She entered adulthood quickly after meeting her first husband, Andy Najibi, with whom she built a beautiful home and welcomed three wonderful children, Emma Najibi, Natalie Najibi and Faris Najibi.

She loved nature and gardening and could often be seen in her yard with her children playing close by.

Amie had a remarkable gift for nurturing her young children, offering them the unconditional care she herself yearned for. In those moments, her kindest self shined through.

As her children grew, Amie also grew into an outspoken adult. Early on she faced ongoing health challenges and personal struggles. Her life was marked by complexity, effort and perseverance. Yet, even in tough times, she left an indelible mark - Amie will be remembered for the joy she brought, the playful chaos she created and her true gentle bohemian spirit.

Amie maintained a lifelong connection with second husband, Michael Scuderi. Their bond, rooted in childhood, endured for years. They were devoted friends.

Amie is survived by her five sisters, Patricia Lawinger, Arlene Janisheck (husband James, niece Julie Deely, nephew James Janisheck), Jacqueline Nehring, Barbara Shulz (husband Richard, nephew William Schulz), and Geraldine Nehring.

Amie is predeceased by her beloved big brother, Gerald Nehring (9/4/1971 - 4/4/2024).

A private scattering of Amie's ashes will be held by her close family members. No public service or memorial is planned.
