Amanda ‘Mandy’ REED

It’s with great sadness we announce the death of our beloved Mandy, who passed away surrounded by her family after a courageous battle with cancer. She left behind a lot of stuff for her husband, daughter and two sons who have no idea what to do with most of it and a slightly dysfunctional family that she was incredibly proud of. She was world renowned for her love of travel, football (COYS!), drinking, dancing and partying in to her 60s, and for being a loving wife, mum, sister, nanny and friend. She left this world a little less brighter than she found it and will be sorely missed. Shine bright forever x. The funeral service will take place at St Mary’s Church, St Neots on Wednesday 8th December at 12noon. Close family flowers only please. Donations in Mandy’s memory would be gratefully received to either Cancer Research UK or Macmillan Cancer Support and may be sent c/o Kingfisher Independent Funeral Services, Gate Lodge, Cemetery Road, St Neots PE10 2BX. Tel (01480) 471001.
