Maranda Mathis

Maranda Gail Mathis was heavenly embraced by our Lord on May 24, 2022 at the age of 11. She was born on May 6, 2011 in Gainsville, Florida to Deanna Gornto and Brian Mathis, Jr..

Maranda had a huge loving heart.  She was sweet, smart and a shy tom boy who enjoyed being within nature and spending time outdoors. Those who knew Maranda, knew her great imagination and often expressed her love for unicorns and mermaids, especially if they were her favorite color purple.
