In the funeral notice, the family has expressed its thanks to everyone for their support and understanding at this most difficult time.
Amanda was the daughter of Michael and Patricia and loving sister of David and Aishling.
She will be sadly missed by her heartbroken parents, sister, brother, partner Brendan Galvin and the Galvin family, aunts, uncles, cousins, extended family, neighbours, friends, work colleagues in Bahrain and all her friends in the GAA community.
She had been home on holidays from the Middle East where she had been teaching for several years.
She died following what has been described by witnesses as a tragic, freak accident that occurred on the main Donegal Town to Ballybofey N15 road at Ardnawark, Barnesmore Gap, at around 3.45 pm on Friday.
She fell out of a moving bus and then hit a van that was passing by.
She was airlifted to hospital in Dublin but passed away on Friday evening.
She had been in Donegal for a wedding the previous day.
