Kitty Hawk, NC – Mandy Michelle Hewett, 45, was born December 4, 1979, in Franklin, VA.  Surrounded by loved ones, she passed away peacefully at Chesapeake Regional Hospital on September 2, 2025.

Mandy was a member of the Franklin YMCA Leader’s Club and a graduate of Franklin High School where she participated in, and dearly loved, volleyball.  She also loved the Washington Redskin’s football team.  One of her fondest childhood memories was when the Washington Redskin cheerleaders came to visit her at Hunterdale Elementary School during her 5^th grade year.

Mandy was a resident of Kitty Hawk, NC, and was a dedicated and hardworking individual who made her mark as a self-employed landscaper and part owner of Scotts Landscaping & Firewood LP.  Her commitment to her work and her community was evident to all who knew her as well as her love for plants.  She will be remembered for her strength, dedication, and the love she shared with those around her.

Mandy was preceded in death by her father, Jimmy Dean Hewett, her maternal grandparents, Sidney and LaRue Brittle, her paternal grandparents, Alfred and Alice Hewett and her fur babies LuLu, Smokey, and Jada.

Mandy leaves behind her beloved mother and best friend, Cheryl Anne Stepp, who will forever cherish her life and memory, her brother Josh Hewett (Caroline), and her nieces Leah Hewett and Hattie Hewett.
