No one’s eyes shined so bright with love
As my mom’s, who is now high above
~ Hayden and Trevor
Amanda Faith Hoffman was born on November 8, 2015 in West Chester, Pennsylvania to Darryl and Laura Hoffman. She departed her loving family Saturday May 21, 2022 in Tulsa, Oklahoma at the age of 26 years. Amanda completed her secondary education in Owasso, Oklahoma, and graduated with the Owasso High School Class of 2014. She worked as admissions coordinator for Colonial Oaks Memory Care and was deeply loved by her co-workers and the residents she served.
In her youth, Mandy discovered at an early age that she enjoyed kicking a soccer ball around. After dinner, Mandy and her dad would retreat to the back yard, setting up obstacles, and practicing her skills. After a few years of playing recreational soccer, Mandy’s skills advanced, and she earned a spot on a competitive league and excelled in the sport and played during her high school years. It was through her love of soccer that many lifelong friendships were made. Her Father and little sister Jenny were her biggest cheerleaders. She attended and was baptized at First Baptist Church of Owasso and participated in local mission trips and church sponsored activities with the youth group and volunteered with her family for Mission of Owasso. Mandy shared a fond love of the Ocean and along with her family, spent many summers vacationing in Chincoteague, VA with her Nana and beloved lifelong friends. Walking the shoreline collecting seashells and catching crabs to steam for was one of the favorite activities while on vacation. Mandy’s greatest love and gift to our family was the blessing of her beautiful children, Hayden Fay (6) and Trevor Dean (5). Her children made up the entirety of her world and she was a loving, nurturing, and adventure seeking Mom. Nerf guns & messy buns # Mommyofboth was her motto, and she lived it to the fullest. Mandy, Hayden, Trevor, and Lulu (Jennifer) were a force to be reconned with when it came to spending crazy family time and creating happy lifelong memories together. Mandy always had a passion for the more beautiful things in life and would frequently capture them by taking photos and videos of her children. We are grateful she captured all the beautiful seasons as her babies grew over the years and pray, they bring comfort to her children as they cherish the beautiful soul that is their mom. We ask that Mandy be remembered by her beautiful smile that illuminated all the lives she touched, the way her kindness persuaded kindness in others, and her fearlessness that was unstoppable. The Hoffman/Samuel family also request continued prayers for the family, especially her children, as we continue our journey without our beloved Mandy and Mom. We take comfort in knowing that she has been reunited with Jenny, and fear that was the reason for the nonstop tears that have fell from the sky over the last week since she departed us. Look out Heaven, those Hoffman girls have entered the gates and heaven may never be the same. We will always, always, love and miss you, Mandy. Give Lulu our love
