Amanda "Mandy" Elizabeth Kitchens, age 51, of Lubbock, Texas, formerly of Naples, Texas, died peacefully Tuesday, July 15, 2025. Mandy was born in Texarkana, Texas on August 24, 1973.

Mandy graduated from Paul Pewitt High School and was a proud supporter of the Brahmas.  She was also actively involved in Special Olympics during her school career.  Mandy had several interests but what she loved the most was her family, friends, and a party of any kind, especially birthday parties.  She was a deeply committed member of the First United Methodist Church of Naples and later the First United Methodist Church of Lubbock.  Throughout her life Mandy lived each day to the fullest and could always bring a smile to those around her.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Richard "Sonny" Kitchens and Melva Kitchens.
