Malinda "Mindy" Gayle McCready

Our special angel, Malinda Gayle "Mindy" McCready, departed her earthly life February 17, 2013 in Heber Springs, Arkansas at the age of 37. She was born and raised in Fort Myers, FL. She started singing in church at the age of 4 and from that age forward she used her God-given talent to sing for family, friends, weddings, funerals, and local events. She signed a recording contract in Nashville at the tender age of 18 and soon became a country Superstar with several #1 hits to her credit. Her fame enabled her to become a voice for many childrens' charities and battered women organizations. At the time of her departure from this life she was working on suicide prevention awareness.
