Amanda Gay “Mandy” Cummings, 62 years of age, of Pampa, Texas, drew her last breath Friday evening, January 19, 2024.
She was born on August 14, 1961, to Sherman and Dorothy Cowan in Pampa.
Not long after she graduated from Tascosa High School with the Class of ‘79’, Bob and Mandy were planning a wedding. On September 28, 1980, the two exchanged vows beginning what was to become an adventure they embarked together for 43 years.
Mandy raised four boys-Aaron, Derrick, Jaxson and the biggest kid of them all, Bob. At times, the boys drove her crazy, however, her mama bear instincts would kick in and she would defend their honor at all costs if anyone tried to attack their integrity in any way.
Although Mandy was small in stature, what she lacked in size, she more than made up for in heart. She knew no strangers and her smile was infectious to those who crossed her path.
Throughout her career, she worked in various capacities. She had been employed by Dr. Walters. Clint & Sons, Dyer’s BBQ, The Pampa News, National Home Health Care and at one time had owned a daycare, Dorothy’s Daycare. Mandy touched many lives over the course of her employment path.
Some of the pastimes and activities that Mandy enjoyed over the course of her life are camping and fishing, decorating, gambling, watching Gunsmoke, or any old black & white westerns, and recently watching football with Bob.
As much as she enjoyed all these things, none came close to the love she had for her family.
She adored her boys and grandkids above anything else…except maybe her dogs!
Mandy was greeted into eternity by her parents and a brother, Ted Cowan.
Left to cherish her precious memories are her husband, Bob Cummings of Pampa; two sons, Aaron Cummings of Amarillo and Derrick Cummings of Borger; a brother, Tim Cowan and wife Amber of Amarillo; five grandchildren, Isiah Martinez, Maddie Robey, Tyler Leos, Sadi Romero, Jaxson Cummings; her three fur babies and companions, Django, BeVo, Randy and numerous extended family members.
Celebration of Life Memorial Services are scheduled for 10:00 am, Saturday, January 27, 2024, in the Serenity Chapel of Winegeart Funeral Home, 300 W. Browning Avenue with Pastor Steve Watson officiating.
The family has entrusted the cremation care of their loved one to Winegeart Funeral Home.
The family will be gathering at the Moose Lodge, 401 E. Brown Street, Pampa following services and extend an invitation to Mandy’s family and friends to join.
For those who would prefer to make a donation in memory of Mandy, the family kindly requests they be made to the American Heart Association, Inc, 7272 Greenville Avenue, Dallas, TX 75231-512.
