Mandy Lynn Emanuel

Mandy Lynn Emanuel passed away at 4:40 p.m., Sunday, March 24, 2013.  Mandy was a loving daughter and mother.  She was most proud of her daughter, Taylor Boykin.  She was a resident of Greenwell Springs.

Visitation was held at Seale Funeral Home, 9995 Hooper Road, on Wednesday, March 27 and on Thursday, March 28 until religious services in the funeral home chapel conducted by Fr. Mike Moroney.  Burial was at Greenoaks Memorial Park in Baton Rouge.

She is survived by her mother and step-father, Debbie Bonanno Meyer and Karl O. Meyer; father, John D. Emanuel; daughter, Taylor Boykin; and maternal grandparents, Donnie and Lou Bonanno.  Mandy was loved dearly by her family and friends.  She has numerous aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces, and nephews.  Her Godmother is Cheryl Glass, and she loved her dearly.

Preceded in death by paternal grandparents, Barbara “Bobbie” Emanuel and Douglas Emanuel, Neal and Betty Meyer; and paternal great-grandmother, Grace Emanuel.

Pallbearers were Nathan, Samuel and Justin Lanclois, Corey Robillard, Brandon Glass, and Matthew Miller.

She was a member of St. Alphonsus Catholic Church in Greenwell Springs.  In 2008, she was injured in a home fire that resulted in over 35 surgeries.  After the wonderful care of Dr. Dhaval Adhvaryu and the staff of the Baton Rouge General Mid City Burn Unit, we were blessed with five more years with her.

Mandy taught us how precious life really is.  Even with all of the pain and sorrow she endured, there was always a smile and kind words to say.  Mandy will be missed by all.
