For 13 years, Mandy battled brain cancer and never complained about her situation through the numerous surgeries, radiation, chemotherapy and sickness that she endured. She carried on and nobody was the wiser.
Mandy was a loving soul who loved everyone she came in contact with. She referred to all of her children over the years as her own.
"She was the salt of the earth, a light in this dark world and she was like a city set on a hill that could not be hidden."" Matt 5:14
Mandy was a mother to all, a loving and devoted wife, friend, partner, mentor and teacher but most importantly, she was a Christian.
She will be missed dearly because now there is no more sunshine since she's gone.
Pallbearers will be Chad Streetman, Tavares Cook, Zac Farris, Will Smith, Brett Sessions, John McWilliams, John Young, Kerry Ellis, Jeremy Reeves and Billy Peek.
Honorary pallbearers are Christ First Campus Ministry, College Life In Christ Campus Ministry, the faculty and staff of Faucett Vestavia Elementary and Tuscaloosa Fire and Rescue.
The family suggests that donations be made to the Faucett Vestavia Elementary Library.
