Publish in a newspaper

Mandy retired from Contech in Dowagiac, where she met the love of her life, Paul. They married in 1991. She was a big fan of Elvis, enjoyed watching eagle cams, a good game of football on tv, and cheering on her grandkids in various sport teams. But Mandy's biggest love was her family. She was sassy, funny, kind, and generous and will be missed by many who loved her.

Preceding her in death were her parents, husband Paul Deuel, and daughters Susann (Krieger) Gillaspy and Joyce (Krieger) Llano-Montoya.
