Mandi is also survived by her mother Nancy (Patrick) Shill-Fitzgerald, her father William (Janet) Shill III, sister Jaime (Jeff) Bradford, brothers Patrick (Jessica),Michael (Crystal) Fitzgerald; her aunts Jodi (Bernie) Pound, Ann Marie (Charlie) Vavricka, Donna Rice, Judith Ray; her uncles Donald (Karen), Michael (Mary) Dodd, and many cousins who she loved dearly.
All are invited to a Celebration of Mandi's life which will be held on November 2nd, 2024 from 1-4 PM at the Forty & Eight Voiture No. 1530 located at 15930 Happy Hill Rd, Colonial Heights, VA 23834. Family and friends will gather for light refreshments to share the many ventures had with Mandi.

Happy Heavenly Birthday Mandi,
I wish we could go back a year when we celebrated your 43rd Birthday !
The love, the laughs, along with all those hugs! Those reminiscing hours, talking of future plans,and the photos you were finally happy to have taken... who would of known our joy & love would be shattered 3 months later when God took you so abruptly. I still have days that I feel you´re going to walk through the door saying "heh Momma, whatcha doing?" Then reality hits and my heart breaks even more than I thought it could bare. Ive caught the signs youre sending that you are near- grateful for that conversation we had!
I hope you´re dancing, and feeling all our love. I love and miss you Mabel Forever always,
Mom

In the short time I knew Mandi, she left a lasting impression. She had a genuine and kind heart, always accepting and never judgmental. As a mother, her love for her son was fierce and unwavering, and her strength was evident in everything she did. She welcomed me into a family that wasn´t mine with open arms, making me feel like I belonged. Her humor and warmth made any moment spent with her special. I feel truly grateful to have known her, even for just a few years. My heart goes out to her family, especially her son, during this incredibly difficult time. Her memory will always be with us.

Mandi was a beautiful soul. I've loved her since her mom brought her into this world. She had so much to offer but was taken too soon. She will live on through our hearts and memories. My deepest heartfelt sympathy goes out to Nancy, Patrick, Pat, Jaime and all others who loved her. She will be missed more than she would ever know....it's my turn baby girl to look for the rainbows....I love you
