BRITTNEY DRAKULICH

Brittney Mangum Drakulich 1979 ~ 2009 Brittney Drakulich completed her earthly mission and returned to her Father's presence on Wednesday, September 9, 2009. She passed through the veil surrounded by her dear husband, adorable children and immediate family as she entered into eternal peace. Brittney was born on November 19, 1979 to goodly parents in Provo, Utah. She is the second of six children and was always the entertainer. She always loved children and began babysitting as soon as was allowed - she was loved so dearly by those she watched over that she was coined with the nickname "My Brittney" by the children. She had a beautiful voice and was never shy to share that talent either by way of a beautiful hymn or a fun Disney medley. Brittney graduated from Mountain View High School and earned an Associate Degree in Pre-School Education from Ricks College. She enjoyed her time teaching at Learning Dynamics. Brittney was sealed to her eternal companion Steven on July 21, 2000 in the Mount Timpanogos Temple. They have three beautiful children who will proudly carry on the legacy of their incredible mother. In her time as a mother Britt was able to establish firm testimonies of our Heavenly Father's love and plan into each one of her children by way of an example of steadfastness and faith that has left us all in awe. Brittney has earned the peace that she feels and will be a ministering angel to her children and husband. She is survived by her husband Steven and three children Harmony, Brynn and Boston; her parents, Bart and Renae Mangum; her siblings Candace Larson (Michael), Kaleb Mangum (Kathryn), Hayley Johnson (Benjamin), Wesley Mangum (Leah) and Collin Mangum; her in-laws Steve and Denise Drakulich, Nicole Murphy (Ben) and Camille Brown (Briant); additionally she is loved by her grandparents, nieces and nephews, aunts and uncles, cousins and many friends who she has influenced for good. We will all miss her so much and love her forever.
