Obituary For Mandy Cherie Molenaar

Friday evening, December 29, 2023, Mandy Molenaar passed away unexpectedly and went to be with the Lord at the age of 46 years. Our prayers for healing were answered, but not in the way we had hoped.

Mandy was born in Langley (Murrayville), BC, on May 25, 1977, and was the eldest child of Pieter and Lidy De Wit.

Mandy’s loves in life were her faith, her family, and the farm. Her marriage to Richard brought her to experience the fulfilment of these loves. God blessed them with four boys with whom she and Richard shared these priorities and the contentment they brought.

Mandy is survived by her loving husband Richard; their sons: Peter, Evan, Michael, and Jared; parents Pieter and Lidy De Wit; siblings: Trudy, Jerry (Jessica), Shelly (Karl), Matthew (Sandra), Jennifer (Jan), Scott (Shari), and Cameron (Deanna); as well as numerous nieces and nephews, that form part of her extended family; Mandy will also be greatly missed by Richard’s mother, Rita Molenaar; his siblings and their families.

A Funeral Service will be Tuesday, January 9, 2024, at 12:30pm, at Christian Fellowship Assembly (11449 92 St.), Grande Prairie, AB.

Memorial donations may be made in Mandy’s memory to the Bethesda Christian Association (2775 Emerson St. Abbotsford, BC, V2T 4H8), or to a charity of one’s choice.

A Livestream of the service will be accessible 15 minutes prior to the service on Mandy's obituary on Oliver’s Funeral Home website

    Richard, Peter, Evan, Michael, Jared, Rita and family members I have never met. Few words can remove the pain you are going through. It's going to take a long time to feel 'normal' again. I am still shocked that this has happened. I feel very fortunate to have known Mandy from the poultry business as visits at your farm have been the highlight of my trips to the region since we first met. Please take comfort in knowing that Mandy is with you every day, and boys she will be proud of you and love you no matter where life takes you. Marc Henderson
