Kandi Lyn Mangold, of Devine, Texas, departed this world on May 30, 2026 at the age of 41. She was born October 9, 1984 in San Antonio, Texas, to Leyton Mangold and Karen Frazier.
Survivors include her father, Leyton Mangold (Michele & Kingston) of Castroville; mother, Karen Frazier of Devine; brothers Korey (son Doc) Mangold, and Kolton (Allie and Emmie) Mangold of Devine. Grandmothers Wanda Frazier, Patsy Mangold, and Carol Mangold. Aunts Donna (Gary) Davis, Richelle Mangold, Tricia (Steven) Chatham and Uncle Lanham (Marla) Mangold.
Kandi was preceded in death by her grandfathers Dale Frazier and Dickie Mangold, and her husband John C. Campsey.
Kandi was a bright and intelligent young woman who loved reading and music. She was an excellent dancer, which led to competitive twirling and later to serving as head cheerleader in high school, while also playing saxophone in the band. She loved her little brothers dearly, and treasured her relationships with her cousins Kelly, Kara, and Kathy, who lived nearby. Many family members and friends will fondly remember her beloved pony, “Pancho”, and the happy days spent at the ranch where they grew up.
Kandi will be remembered fondly by all who loved her for her kind heart and gentle spirit. Although she faced difficult challenges during her adult years, we take comfort in knowing that she is now safely resting in the arms of the Father, free from burden and at peace, watching over the precious ones she left behind.
“Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God; believe also in me. 2 My Father’s house has many rooms; if that were not so, would I have told you that I am going there to prepare a place for you? 3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am.” John 14:1-3
