John Harris and her Uncle Steve Bontrager officiating. Inurnment will follow at Mt. Olive Cemetery in Healdton.

Mandy was born October 20, 1980, at Ardmore, to Mr. David Loyn Smith and Mrs. Jo Anna “Jody” Renee (Branch) Smith. She departed this life Tuesday, June 30, 2026, at her home in Healdton.

Mandy was raised in Healdton, where she made an early mark as a dedicated and accomplished student, graduating as Valedictorian of the Class of 1999. Her commitment to her education led her to East Central University in Ada, where she studied for nearly two years before returning to her roots. Mandy began her professional journey working alongside her father at Oil Well Cementers, first as a truck driver and later taking on the important role of safety manager. This experience, working in an environment that required both skill and responsibility, suited her industrious nature and strengthened her ties with family and community. In subsequent years, Mandy brought her strong work ethic to Jiffy Lube and later Hogan’s Jif-E Lube in Ardmore. She was known for her willingness to take on any challenge and for always keeping herself busy. Mandy’s spirit was drawn to the outdoors. She found happiness in the simple pleasures of nature, hunting for rocks and arrowheads, and relished the time spent gathering pecans each season. Whether she was working or enjoying the outdoors, Mandy thrived when she was active and surrounded by the beauty of the natural world.

Mandy is preceded in death by her father, David Smith; Papa Smitty; grandparents, Roy and Ruby Branch; cousins, Josh Bontrager, Trevor Aycox, Jason Branch, and Brian Blevins.

Survivors include her daughter, Justice Daniels; her mother, Jody Smith of Healdton; sister, Melody Williams and husband Brock of Edmond; nieces, Ainsley and Hadley Williams; grandmother, Oweeta Marie Smith; numerous other family, Remmington White, and a multitude of friends.

Honorary bearers are J.W. Haynes, Billy Don Hacker, Jeramie Daniels, Gerrilynn Raymond, Melissa Henderson, Shawna Parrott, and Penny Treadwell.
