I haven’t seen you in years but thought of you recently. Then I learned of your passing. I was completely shocked to hear the news.
A beautiful soul gone way too soon!
May you rest in peace, sweet Mandy! ❤️ Nicky
So blessed to have such a wonderful sister in law for almost 19 years. Your talent, your love for your family but mostly your love for our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ was evident in your daily walk. I love you, Mandy. We’ll meet again ❤️
Mandy was a great mom, teacher, and friend. Above all she loved her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. It showed in everything that she did. I will miss her, but I know I will see her again.
When Mandy, Jason and I all worked at Belk together, I knew he was smitten. I bet him $1 that she would go out with him. She did and the rest was history! Jason, Julie-Anna and Coburn….. my heart breaks for your earthly loss and, at the same time, rejoices at heaven’s gain.
One of my favorite photos ever – Mandy and my daughter knitting together.
Our home will forever enjoy the lingering warmth and love of your visit. ❤️

Q: How did you meet Mandy?
A: I started attending Rock Creek Church thru my client and got to meet Mandy there, her beautiful talent of singing and playing the flute before services will always echo in my mind as we continue to try and understand why God plucks the prettiest flowers first! Her Spirit will always be in building at Rock Creek, and we all know she’s leading the angels in heaven with praise and song! Rest high on that mountain and god bless her entire family
Rock Creek will echo your Spirit every Sunday and you will always be thought of! In out thoughts and prayers for the family! Karen, Mary Jo, Millie
Sandra and family my deepest sympathy for your family she was a gift to all and God will see you through this.
Mandy was a good friend at work who was always encouraging. She made me laugh many afternoons and was there to celebrate with me when things were going well. I loved listening about how much she loved her husband, kids, and students. She is someone who I held in high regards and looked up to! She will be missed.
Words escape me since I received the call of Mandy’s passing. As a teacher, you hope to leave a bit of yourself with each student that crosses your classroom. Not only did Mandy cross my classroom, but she continued to cross my life. As a fellow educator, I know that all who she taught, will continue to pass on her legacy and love of music, dance and the church. Mandy, keep those angels hopping and know you will be missed by so many! Hugs and healing to family and friends. I know this one will be a tough one. “Move that Mountain”
Just a few weeks ago, I read a FB post of Mandy’s. She and her Daddy had just spent time together talking about their love of music. That sparked a memory I had. I was Mandy’s Girl Scout leader from the time the was a Brownie all the way through high school when she earned her Gold Award. I remembered the occasion when she and her Daddy played the processional for our end of year event. They played Pachelbel’s Canon – Mandy on her flute and her daddy on his guitar. It was absolutely beautiful, and I have never forgotten how special that was. Make beautiful music in heaven, sweet Mandy, and play Pachelbel’s Canon for me.
I’ll always remember her directing the handbells at church.
Our condolences on the loss of Mandy…. May the lord bless and keep your family.
You truly will be Missed Mrs.Bailey ❤️I remember the concerts we use to have at Nashville Elementary the sweetest lady there was 🙏🏽
Lamm family, Ricky & I have all of you in our thoughts & prayers. Keep her memories close to your hearts & know that she is singing & playing beautiful music in Heaven with Jesus! Love y’all, Cheryl Hagan
Omar & family: The music has ended here but the melody will always linger on in your hearts.
May the Lord bless and comfort you and your families during this time of loss. Please accept my sincere condolences.
Lifting up prayers that the wonderful memories and love you shared with Mandy will sustain you during this very difficult time.

I worked with Mandy at Nashville Elementary. She was a sweet friend and I loved her dearly. I will miss her.
Mrs. Baliey was my music teacher from Kindergarten -5th grade. I remember her being in the back of the gym at Nashville elementary in the little room. Her getting the trailer. I remember us doing the little mermaid dance. Going to the Dunn center to do the music show. Im surely going to miss you so much. God has called you home. RIP Mrs. Bailey 😭😭
You are on our hearts and we are sending prayers of comfort during this unimaginably painful time. Much love,
We rejoice that Mandy is with Jesus–face to face, but she leaves a big vacuum in our communities. She was such a wonderful woman, a light for Jesus, and so readily shared her gifts and love to all around her. I am praying that the Holy Spirit would comfort and strengthen you and your children, Jason.
Love, Patsy Gilliland
Dearest Sandra,
My deepest sympathy to you, your family, and Mandy’s family.
Although I never met Mandy, I feel I knew her from stories you told about her and the family.
God Bless You All.
ZES students is almost unimaginable. She taught my grand daughter to play piano and touched her heart, her parents, and her grandparents,too. My sincere condolences & prayers for your loss of this wonderful teacher.May God bless all of you, as she resides now with Heaven’s angelic chorus,
