Amanda Elizabeth Cooke

A Time To Be Born On March 25th 1991 a beautiful baby girl was born (Amanda Elizabeth Cooke) to Corey Caracter and Jacqueline Cooke in Edison New Jersey. Amanda attended Park Avenue Children’s Place pre-school, Knollwood school kindergarten, Martin Luther King Elementary, and Quibbletown Middle School in Piscataway New Jersey. During these years Amanda attended NSAME Church, and at the tender age of ten, she accepted Jesus Christ as her Lord and Savior. She participated in various activities at her church; the Children’s choir, Praise Team, and the Step Team that competed at the Apollo Theatre in New York, where they earned third place. She also joined the New Jersey Orators which allowed her to gain self-confidence and overcome the fear of public speaking. At age 14, Amanda relocated to Georgia, where she attended Central Gwinnett High School, and graduated in 2009. Amanda participated in the high school speaking competition, where she excelled and eventually became a judge. After graduating high school, she attended Georgia Perimeter College, and then transferred to Spelman College where she studied psychology. A Time to Live Her interest in real estate encouraged her to move to Las Vegas in 2016 where she attained her Insurance and Real Estate Licenses. She was very passionate about real estate, and dreamed about investing in the commercial industry. She returned to Georgia in February 2019 and continued her real estate business. Her most satisfying contract occurred when she sold her mother her house. Being interested in the Arts, she taught herself painting. Her pieces were unique and well constructed before getting to the brush. She labelled them “Divine Canvas”. Cooking was one of her passions and she was good around the kitchen, always looking for new recipes and healthy alternatives. She enjoyed travelling, and displayed great interest in other cultures. Amanda was loving, caring, thoughtful, and extremely intelligent. Playing board games was an event she always promoted. After learning to play poker, she developed a love of the game and won many competitions (friendly) in which she entered. She communicated effectively and always thought about the subject carefully before delivering her response. She was an avid reader and researcher and can be described as your quintessential critical-thinker. It was always her pleasure to provide a clear and well thought out answer to any situation that required analysis and conclusion. In May 2020 Amanda was diagnosed with an aggressive form of cancer. During this period, although experiencing difficult days, she never lost her love of fashion. Whenever we gathered, she was still the most fashionable amongst us, as she consistently matched her outfits with supporting coloration especially reflected in her nails. A Time To Depart Amanda departed this life peacefully July 31st 2025 and went on to glory. Her memory will live in the hearts of those who love her. She leaves to mourn, her dear Mother Jacqueline Cooke, Father Corey Caracter, Grandmother Monica Williams, Grandfather Walter Caracter, Godson Amare Allen, God- sister Alexis D’Amato, and hosts of aunts, uncles, cousins and friends. We pray that our dear loved one Amanda, rests in eternal peace. Livestream:https://vimeo.com/event/5308136
