At the age of 39, Amanda Katherine Royka passed away peacefully with her family by her side, following a brief illness. Loving mother of Noah and Nico, who were the light of her life. There was nothing Amanda treasured more than her boys, and they were the reason she fought so hard for as long as she did. Daughter of Danny and Tammy, and sister to Tricia (Jax, Parker, Crew, and Everlee), Samantha, and Chris (Lucas and Zaiden). Niece to Dave (Michelle), Cheryl (Jack), late Pam (Bill), late Paul, and late Jerry (Judy). Amanda is predeceased by her grandparents Norene and Earl Peifer, Esther and Leonard Moody, Larry, and Paul Sr. She will be dearly missed by her cousins, extended family, and friends; especially by her best friend Tiffany Rhymer.
The family wishes to thank the staff at Met. Hospital ICU and Erie Shores Hospice for the care Amanda received. Amanda was beautiful, funny, and had the biggest heart.
