by Amanda Nally Obituary, Death – On March 4, 2022, Amanda Rae Nally, 35 years old and a resident of Taylor, was taken from this world in a horrible and untimely manner. Amanda was born in Aurora, Illinois, but moved with her family to Clarks Summit when she was 10 years old. She attended Abington Heights High School and graduated in 2004. In recent years, she devoted her time to tending to the needs of her children, who served as the center of her universe and the source of her greatest joy.
Amanda was the kind of girl who would help anyone, complete strangers included, without hesitating, questioning, or passing judgment on the situation. She was exquisite on the inside in addition to being stunning on the outside. She never closed up anything, including her thoughts, her ears, or her heart. She loved her children, her family, and her friends with a ferocity that was, at times, even excessive. Her laughing was like music; each note was more beautiful than the one before it, and it left an impression that lingered. Her spirit and love were so contagious that even though the world would be a less bright place without her, she will continue to live on in everyone who has ever had the privilege of crossing paths with her.
Her paternal grandfather and stepgrandfather, Edith Marie and Joseph Frank Buckley, as well as the biological father of their son, Staphano Bianco, had passed away before she was born. Her father, Orville Wayne Cockriel, was the first member of her family to pass away. She is survived by her mother, Debra Nally; sisters Shelly Nally, Krissy Guthrie (Josh), and Staci O’Leary (Ron); niece, Ivy Ann Hazelton; nephews, Alexander and Nicholas Enciso-Nally, all of Pennsylvania; maternal aunts Sister Nancy Nally, Pennsylvania; and Rebecca Cooper (Jeff); cousins, Cara and Katie, from Plano, Illinois; a half-brother, Wayne Cockriel The funeral will take place on Friday evening at 7 o’clock at the Thomas J. Hughes Funeral Home Inc., which is located at 1240 St. Ann’s Street in Scranton.
