Amanda Allen Butler

Amanda Allen Butler, 50, of Clarkton went to her eternal home on Saturday, May 20, 2023, while at Cape Fear Valley Medical Center in Fayetteville. She was preceded in death by her maternal grandparents, Rob and Sophie Bordeaux, Cleo and Yvonne Pait and paternal grandparents, Steven, and Ruby Allen. Left to cherish her memory are her parents, Willie Allen and Alice Bordeaux of Elizabethtown, her fiancé Nye Marzocchi of the home, son Travis Grant Butler of Elizabethtown, and two aunts Patricia Brisson of Bladenboro and Robbie Dove (Donald) of Bladenboro.

Amanda was a compassionate, giving lady. She spent her life helping others. She began her career in healthcare as an EMT for about eight years while studying to earn her registered nursing degree and then went on to teach nursing courses through Bladen Community College. Amanda cherished spending time at home with her family, her beloved animals, and her friends. She also loved gardening and relaxing on the beach. Amanda will be forever remembered for her sweet smile, her ability to put others before herself and for always giving one hundred percent in everything she did.

The family will receive friends from 7-9 pm on Tuesday, May 23, 2023, at Bladen Gaskins Funeral Home in Elizabethtown. A funeral service will be held at 3:00 pm on Wednesday, May 24, 2023, at Purdie Church in Tar Heel with the Reverend Al Marshburn officiating.
