Mabel’s life brought laughter, smiles, and joy to all who knew her (or met her randomly in the grocery store). Mabel Elizabeth, meaning “lovable” and “pledge to God,” fit her beautifully as she lived out her earthly commission by being beloved by many while spreading her infectious joy to those around her. Mabel loved her big brother Mattox fiercely and copied everything he did. She was a busy-bodied girlie-girl who loved putting on make-up, jumping on the trampoline, and mimicking mommy by playing in the kitchen and using her creative gifts to enjoy any art project she could get her hands on. Mabel’s safest place was always in her daddy’s arms and she was never far from her mommy’s side, they were constant companions. She was a “heart warrior” who overcame medical obstacles as an infant, and her tenacity served her well as she excelled in accomplishing every goal set before her both in school and in therapy.
Mabel’s sweet, magnetic personality drew people to her like a flower draws a bee. Bees accomplish so much in their short-but-sweet lives, visiting 50-100 flowers daily, collecting nectar and pollinating. This was Mabel, collecting experiences and sharing the goodness of her life.

Mabel’s sweet life came to an end after a tragic accident on March 27th, 2022. After 10 days fighting in the hospital, her little body sustained too much damage to keep her shining on this side of heaven. She was healed as she entered heaven on April 5th 2022. She experienced 1440 days on earth living an extraordinary life… and her story is not over.
