Amanda “Mandy” Marie Reid was born to Lynis and Wanda (Downing) Reid on August 8, 1984, in Faulkton, South Dakota. Mandy graduated from Faulkton High School in 2002. Afterwards, she went on to attend Northern State University in Aberdeen. Mandy spent a lot of years working in sales, insurance, and at Avera St. Luke’s in Aberdeen until her health prevented her.
On October 6, 2018, Mandy married the love of her life, Travis Martinmaas in Faulkton.
Mandy loved cooking, baking, and gardening. She loved being creative and had a talent for working with her hands. She always looked forward to taking camping trips with her family in the summer to the Black Hills. To Travis’ dismay, she always had to have her fishing pole ready whenever she was near the water. Mandy had a passion for animals, especially her cats: Chuck Norris, Bruce Lee, Bernice; and dog: Henry. Anyone that knew her was aware that her quick-witted humor could always get the room laughing. She will be remembered by her brothers, Dylan and Ryan, as a loyal and protective big sister who loved them fiercely.
Mandy is survived by her husband, Travis Martinmaas of Aberdeen; parents: Lynis and Wanda Reid of Faulkton; maternal grandmother: Dorothy Downing of Redfield; brothers: Dylan (Tina) Reid of Aberdeen and Ryan (Cami) Reid of Aberdeen; father-in-law: Roger Martinmaas of Aberdeen; brother-in-law: Craig Martinmaas of Polo; four nieces and two nephews; multiple aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends who will never forget her resiliency and strength.
She was preceded in death by her paternal grandparents: William and Renee Reid; maternal grandfather: Fred Downing, and mother-in-law: Melanie Martinmaas.
The family would like to thank Dr. Conklin and all his staff at the cancer center for the compassionate care they provided for Mandy over the past three years. Bless you for all your efforts in helping Mandy stay strong through her courageous battle.
Luce Funeral Home of Faulkton has been entrusted with Mandy’s arrangements.
