Amanda E. Schwake, age 23 of Wayne, died suddenly and unexpectedly on Thursday, February 24, 2011.
She attended Wayne Hills High School and then the Berdan Institute, where she earned her degree as a Certified Medical Assistant. She had most recently been pursuing her dream to become a Registered Nurse, a career which would have suited her perfectly because she simply loved to help everyone around her. She loved kids, babies, the elderly – it didn’t matter. She just loved them all and really wanted to be a nurse.
As a teen, Amanda was involved with the Wayne Boys & Girls Club Cheerleading squad and also enjoyed coaching young cheerleaders with the Paterson Youth Instructional Football League. She loved to listen to music, dance in her mom’s kitchen, sing, and spend time with her family. Her brother and sisters meant the world to her and she always enjoyed their time together. Her favorite pastime was fishing with her dad and she was the prettiest girl holding a pole; with her hair and makeup done just right. She enjoyed her summer vacations at LBI with her aunts, uncles, and cousins every summer, and they enjoyed her zest for life and seemingly endless energy. She would always put a smile on their faces.
Amanda was engaged to be married for just over a year to Kevin Fallon. They enjoyed riding on his motorcycle and spending time together.
Amanda is survived by her mother; Susan Kelminson of Wayne, her father; Peter Schwake and his wife Sharon of Howell, her fiancé Kevin Fallon, her sisters; Dana and Sara Schwake and her brother Dave Kelminson, grandparents; Ginger and Fred Schmidt of Warwick, NY and Diane and Pete Schwake of Manchester, NJ, Aunt Stacey and Uncle Ken Scarpa of Ridgewood, Aunt Linda Schwake of Aberdeen, Maryland, Uncle John Schmidt of Wayne, Uncle Fritz Schmit of Wayne, Uncle Steven Schwake of Manchester, NJ and her cousins; Jarrett and Sierra Schmidt, Kevin, Kyle, Chris, and Craig Scarpa, Kim and Toby Aun, Steven Jr. and Andrew Schwake. She is also survived by her loving Chihuahua, Bella.
In lieu of flowers, donations to the Paterson Youth Instructional Football League, c/o Paterson Recreation, 810 Broadway, Paterson, NJ 07504 or the Wayne Memorial First Aid Squad, PO Box 2004, Wayne, NJ 07474, would be greatly appreciated.
