Reverend Amanda “Mandy” Iahn passed away March 30, 2020 at the age of 42 in Wilmington, NC.

She is survived by her parents Paul and Katalin, brother Jason Iahn and his wife Angela, sister Erica Miller and her her husband Rhett, nieces Soleil Miller and Samantha Iahn, nephew Max Miller, and a large extended family.

Mandy was born and raised in Cleveland, Ohio. She attended Brunswick High School before matriculating to Ohio University. She lived in New York City and Los Angeles before attending Princeton where she earned a Masters Degree in Divinity.

She served as pastor in a number of Methodist churches in New York State as well as North Carolina, and was beloved by her congregations for her moving sermons.

Mandy leaves behind a vast network of friends who will never forget her deep spirituality, vibrant sense of humor, and larger than-life personality. She performed countless weddings, baptisms and funerals, and touched many lives during her too brief time among us. Mandy Iahn will truly be missed.

A memorial service will be performed at a later date.

    Rev. Amanda Iahn, or Mandy as she was known, came to Oleander UMC in 2017. She She brought to Oleander UMC her genuine love of the Lord, Jesus Christ and served Him each and every day in her walk with Him by word, action and deed. Mandy was more than a pastor to me, she became a mentor and friend who knew how to listen. She loved life. She brought with her a sense of knowing and belonging. She knew how to pastor her "flock". I will miss her presence in my life for she made it that much more by the bright light she brought with her when entering a room. She was a dear friend. And so shocked by her passing, it has taken me this long to give my condolences to her parents, Paul and Kitty Iahn and family along with her close friends. She will be missed.
