Update: thank you to everyone for your support, donations are now closed. It is with heavy hearts that we share the sudden and unexpected passing of Mandy-Lynn on March 2, 2026, at just 50 years old.

Mandy truly loved life. She had an infectious smile, a wonderful sense of humour, and a warmth that made everyone around her feel welcome. She loved singing and dancing to her favourite music, and her joy for life was something people will always remember.

Above all, Mandy loved her family deeply. Her children were the light of her life, and her partner Sharon was the love of her life.

Mandy leaves behind Sharon and their children Ben (9), Leah (11), and Suzie (24), as well as her older son Nick (28) and her beloved grandson Greyson, who recently celebrated his sixth birthday.

My name is Laurel, and I am Sharon’s aunt. I created this fundraiser on behalf of Sharon and the children so that friends, family, and the community can come together to support them during this incredibly difficult time.

With Mandy gone far too soon, Sharon is now facing the heartbreaking reality of raising their children and continuing to provide the loving home they built together.

This fundraiser has been created to help support the children’s education and everyday family expenses, and to give Sharon some stability in the months and years ahead.

For transparency, Sharon will be added as the beneficiary of this fundraiser and will receive the funds directly. I am currently in direct contact with someone at GoFundMe who is helping ensure everything is set up correctly, and no funds will be sent until Sharon has been added and verified as the beneficiary.

If you are able to donate, thank you from the bottom of our hearts. If you cannot, sharing this page would mean just as much.

Mandy’s love, laughter, and beautiful spirit will never be forgotten. She will be deeply missed and forever loved.
