Mandi Rae Hayen died unexpectantly of natural causes early morning in Ellendale, ND on August 7, 2010. She was born on August 13, 1985 in Kalispell, MT. As Mandi grew up in the Flathead Valley, she attended local schools, from elementary up through graduating at Flathead High School, being at the top of her class. She graduated with honors in 2003.
During her years of schooling, Mandi found joy and love by accepting a relationship with God. She spent the majority of her time with the youth group of Christian Center, pouring herself into singing, drama, and having fun. She started her ministry here, and continued it and her education at Trinity Bible College in Ellendale, ND. Here she received her degrees in Ministerial Studies, Biblical Studies, Psychology Counseling, and graduated with highest honors (Magnum Cum Lada) in December 2008.
Mandi loved sports of all kinds including: softball, soccer, ultimate Frisbee, sand volleyball, and so many others.
Mandi was preceded in death by grandparents Bill and Betty Hayen, John and Alice Toren, and brothers, Steven John and Conner James. She was survived by her parents – Stew Hayen; Rick and Marge Berland; Siblings – Richard Berland, Shandi Berland, and twin sister, Misti and her husband Jonas Musgrave, and younger sister Nicole; Nephews and Nieces – Bradlee, Randi, Leshaun, Trenton John, McKenna, and Bryant; Godson – Milo Anderson, son of Amber and Matthew Anderson, and relatives and friends too numerous to mention.
Mandi always said that her wedding would be in flip-flops and shorts. So in honor of her ultimate wedding to Jesus today, we want to honor her wish.
