Amanda Thacker Obituary
Mansfield - Amanda "Mandy" Marie Thacker, D.C., age 30, a Mansfield and Ashland, Ohio native, passed into the arms of her Savior Thursday, March 19th at Aspirus Hospital in Wausau, Wisconsin. Her injuries were sustained in a snowmobile accident on the lake at her residence, in Wisconsin, during the previous early morning hours.
Amanda moved to the area 3 years ago to be near a best friend and to be the Chiropractor at Lac Vieux Desert Health Clinic in Watersmeet, Michigan. She loved her coworkers and loved helping her patients achieve health and vitality. She also loved boating on the Chain of Lakes in summers and snowmobiling on the trails in winters. The beautiful people and scenery of the area made the Northwoods her "little piece of Heaven on earth".
She will be loved and remembered by her parents: Lee and Becky Erhardt, of Ashland, Ohio; father: Bob Thacker, of Mansfield, Ohio; grandparents: Russel and Jeannie Dinger, of Mansfield, Ohio; grandfather: Joe Thacker, of Grayson, Kentucky; sister: Haley (Erhardt) Hall and brother-in-law, Trey Hall, of Ashland, Ohio; and brother: Harold Erhardt, of Ashland, Ohio.
Mandy was a graduate of Temple Christian High School in Mansfield, Ohio, a graduate of Bluffton University, with a bachelor's degree of Biology, and a graduate of National University in Chicago, Illinois with a Doctoral Degree of Chiropractic.
Her life was enriched by the cherished friends she gathered along the way.
Memorial celebrations will be announced in the future for all the areas she loved with all the people she loved.

I missed you then and I miss you now. I was driving yesterday near the beautiful Arkansas mountains and cried. A lot. Couldn't help but think of all the dreams and things we talked about doing together. I know how much you would have loved it here.
Miss you every day. I love you.

Mandy worked for us years ago as she was getting her education. She was a hard worker and had a great personality. Mandy and her family are in the thoughts and prayers of Return Polymers in Ashland Ohio. Rest in peace.

Mandy was a student with spunk and a desire to achieve her best academically. She knew what was best and was a great leader in the Temple Christian School class of 2008. As a teacher and class adviser, I saw Mandy lead her class with excellence. She was a hard-worker to say the least. She was a successful person and I am proud of her accomplishments. I am truly saddened to hear about her passing. Prayers and God bless her family. Mrs. Joann Thompson
