It is with heavy hearts and a sprinkle of laughter, we announce the passing of our Precious Mother, “Mandy” Amanda K Tilley, “Lucy” of Oceana. She was chosen to trade her earthly troubles in for a brand-new set of wings at the early age of 52, on September 12, 2024, at 10:21pm at CAMC General Hospital, Charleston, WV following a short and sudden illness. While our hearts are full of ache, we take comfort in knowing that she was reunited on the far side banks of Jordan by those who she spent years missing the most, and others that have gone before her. Oh, what a reunion it must have been. Her mother, Bonnie Sue Walls who earned her wings on the same day as our Momma earned hers, in 2007, father Danny Walls, her other father Adrian Griffith, her beloved husband, our Daddy, John William “John Boy” Tilley, her mother and father-in-law, Mary & Johnny Tilley, a sister, Angie Smith, a brother Danny “Junior” Walls, Jr., two special aunts, Diane Partton and Drema Lusk, two special uncles, Romie Osbourne, and J.C. Tilley, along with a couple special friends, Joyce Tilley and Shawn “Stoney” Cozart. She was born on October 1, 1971, in Man, WV, to Bonnie Osbourne, & Adrian Griffith, Mom was a force to be reckoned with. She had strength that could move mountains – or at least push through any obstacle that life threw her way. Mom was a true warrior, embodying strength, love, and a mischievous spirit that brought joy to everyone around her. Her fierce protectiveness for her family and friends was legendary. She was our unwavering shield, always ready to go to war for us, right or wrong, ensuring that we always felt loved, safe, cherished, and on occasion, a little bit scared of her when necessary. Mom’s laughter was infectious, while her silly playful nature kept us all on our toes-whether it was an audacious prank, or a sneaky wink, suggesting she was up to no good. She always knew how to brighten even the darkest of days. Her ability to always find the silver lining in any situation, made her the queen of finding joy in the tiniest of things, & if you ever had the opportunity to be in her presence for any amount of time, you know that the smallest of moments spent with Mom always turned into a cherished memory that was never boring. Mom taught us the importance of standing tall, being true to ourselves, to never take life so seriously, to always have fun no matter what, to never underestimate a good laugh, always embrace all your quirks, that family does not always mean blood, blood does not count, love does. We were a family that started our lives in other places with other people, but that was never mentioned in our house! We did not talk step talk, sister was sister, brother was brother, and Mom and Dad were Mom and Dad. She was the last bit of super glue and duct tape that held us together. She always made sure to call and check on us as much as she could. As someone who embraced the journey of recovery, Mom worked tirelessly to become the best possible version of herself she could be. She was tremendously proud of the life she had built. To say that we are proud of the woman she became and the resilience she showed in the face of her challenges, building herself back up from one of the darkest, most depressing times of her life, while owning her mistakes, and holding her head high even if she needed to cry along the way would be an understatement. Her journey was a testament to her unwavering spirit. She inspired so many of us to strive for our own growth, to face our struggles with courage, and even during our struggles to stop, take a breather, and find some joy even in the little things. We ask that you give us time and keep us in your prayers as we did not just lose our mother, we lost our biggest cheerleader, our confidant, the one we could always count on, she was always solid as a rock, ready for anything. We can see her now sitting by the rivers of milk and honey watching over the ones she has left behind here on earth to carry her legacy and keep her memory alive. One thing is for sure we have one fierce force of nature as our guardian angel and I can’t imagine how hard it was for her to leave us behind even though she was going to walk the streets of gold with Jesus, and the ones she missed. The ones who she left behind will forever be missing a piece of their heart that she took with her. Mom also worked at Goodson’s Supermarket and loved each of her coworkers as not just friends, but considered most of them family. Along With A Whole Slew Of Other Special Family Members & Friends!! If You Had Ever Crossed Mom’s Path You Were Special To Her In Your Own Special Way! If we have left anyone out please do not be upset with us, as writing this has definitely been one of our hardest things to do since Thursday. Those left to cherish her memory include her loving fiancé Ralph Marcum, and their four legged furry son Zuko, of Oceana, three daughters who she adored, Sheena “Grace” (Kendra Preston) Griffith of Charleston, Tara Griggs of Princeton and Joni (Justin) Sizemore of Ravencliff, a son who she cherished, John “Bub” (Taylor Cockayne) Tilley, Jr. of Sabine, eight grandchildren that were her whole world, Cameran “Cammie” Tilley, Carlie Brooks, Colby Brooks, Michael Morgan, Noah Griggs, Isaiah Sizemore, Madisyn Sizemore, and Mayson Sizemore, two brothers Brad (Kathy) Walls of Glen Fork, and Adrian Griffith “a man from everywhere”, a special friend Vickie Hatten, and a host of other loving nieces, nephews, and other loving family and friends.
