Biography

Amanda was delivered in a home birth, in the presence of Ripely's husband.[3] She was still a child when her mother disappeared following the loss of the USCSS Nostromo. She died at the age of sixty-six, three years before her mother's return fifty-seven years after her initial disappearance. Sometime before her death she married, taking the name 'McClaren', but had no children. After being cremated, she was interred at Westlake Repository, Little Chute, Wisconsin.[1]
