She was 53 years of age. Remanda, affectionately known as “Mandy”, was born on May 21, 1967, in Corpus Christi, Texas at spohn Hospital.

Mandy was employed with White Swan, Texas Workers’s Compensation, AllState (Deerbrook), Praxair and JI Companies. In 1993, the Lord blessed Mandy with a handsome baby boy whom she named Dominique Jamaal Spivey. In 1997, after the doctors advised her that she could not conceive, Mandy was blessed with her miracle baby girl; Desiree J. Nell Spivey-Lumpkins. Mandy’s kids were her pride and joy! In 2011, Mandy and her family relocated to Augusta, Georgia. She was employed with Teleperformance and Augusta Sportswear.
