About Amanda

Amanda Marie McAuley, 27, passed away at her family home Wednesday morning, April 5, 2023, from street-laced fentanyl.

Although the God-loving daughter and sister was strong in her faith, this passionate-about-life, beautiful girl could not break away from the hold drugs had on her, no matter how hard she tried. She will be missed by all who knew and loved her.

A senior in high school, Amanda started pursuing her passion by entering and winning the National American Miss (NAM) Ohio Teen Top Model Contest and was runner-up in the acting category. Advanced to the nationals held in Hollywood, California, she was crowned NAM Teen Top Model. Upon returning home, she took classes with Pro-Model and Talent (PMTM) and was eventually led to her signing with HRI Talent Agency and moving to Los Angeles, California. At the age of 21, Amanda thrived at living every moment in the present and was at her happiest.

Amanda loved her family; she had three siblings that thought the world of her and will miss her terribly! Her chill personality made you want to be with her. As a kid at heart herself, she adored kids and enjoyed spending time with them, especially her little cousin, Scarlette.

Amanda wanted to live and had plans. Being an amazing artist, she was recently talking about using her talent to become a tattoo artist.
