Shelby Virginia

Mangus

Shelby Virginia Mangus, of Bellevue, TX, departed this world on January 15, 2026, and entered into the loving arms of her Savior, Jesus Christ. After a courageous and faithful battle against cancer, Shelby was 28 years old at the time of her passing. Throughout her journey, she demonstrated remarkable strength, grace, and unwavering trust in the Lord.

Shelby met the love of her life, James Mangus, in 2015, and the two were married in 2017. Their marriage was marked by devotion, laughter, and deep companionship. Shelby faithfully attended The Rock Church in Bridgeport, TX, where she joyfully assisted in the youth ministry and shared her kind heart with the next generation. She loved playing games and making memories with her extended family, watching movies with her husband, and spending quality time at home. Shelby also had a passion for arts and crafts and had a special love for all fur babies. She was known for her warm smile, gentle spirit, and her ability to offer encouragement and comfort to everyone she met.

Shelby is survived by her beloved husband, James Mangus, of Bellevue, TX; her parents, Ricky Brand and Grace MacLeod; and her brother, Trevor Brand, along with many extended family members and friends who will cherish her memory.

A private Celebration of Life service for Shelby will be held on Saturday, January 31, at The Rock Church in Bridgeport, TX. In lieu of flowers, please consider making a donation to Wise Christian School of Bridgeport, TX, in Shelby's honor.
