Mandy's life work was as a first grade school teacher in the Hillsborough County School District. Her love of children, especially underprivileged children, and talent for teaching touched the lives of hundreds over her career which started in 1998. She most recently taught first grade at Frost Elementary, and planned on taking a year off in 2014-2015. God called her home after she had finished her life's work, but her legacy will live on. Mandy was a difference maker. In lieu of flowers, her husband has asked that donations be sent to Frost Elementary to purchase school supplies for underprivileged children in her honor. Bryan's angel is with the Lord, but her work will go on.
