Amanda “Mandy”
(Erlebach) Fowler

WOOLWICH – Amanda “Mandy” (Erlebach) Fowler, 61, of Woolwich, bravely passed on Jan. 8, 2026, at Mid Coast Hospital, with her loved ones by her side. Mandy was the youngest of seven children born to Carl and Emily Erlebach of Bath.

Mandy’s life was marked by a deep commitment to family, friends and all creatures large and small. She was extremely dedicated to her jobs, particularly as an Emergency 911 Dispatcher, a position she held for nearly 24 years.

Mandy had tremendous respect from community members who called with emergencies, many knowing her personally. Although Mandy loved her dispatch job, she always said she had the most fun working at Bath Lumber Co.

Mandy’s passions were widespread; flower gardens; always subject to her camera, all genres of music – she once caught Peter Frampton’s tamberine at a concert. Her ability to recite multiple lines from her favorite movies, ask any Sag Dispatcher!

Mandy had a loving sense of humor and desire to help anyone in need who crossed her path. Anyone that really knew Mandy can attest she had the best hugs in the entire world; you were blessed if you were the one on the receiving end.

She was predeceased by siblings Ronald, Theresa and Dorine.

She is survived by brother David, sisters Pauline and Malinda, who was also her best friend; many nieces and nephews (a special Thank You to Brandon, wife Lyza, Carla and Punky for their support and visits); and Hal, her loving husband of 13 years. The two lived in Woolwich with another best friend, their dog Tilly, who spent hours entertaining them at home and along many trips they took together, as well as enjoying Epicurean Adventures with in-laws, Larry and Judy (Tolve).

Mandy’s favorite place to visit and where the two were married was Baily’s Beach, Small Point, Maine.

Mandy dearly loved her five grandchildren, Wyatt, Cash, Boyd (Rowe), Lily, Charlotte (Fowler), for all of their accomplishments and visits. She was always appreciative and supportive of their parents, Sarah and Lonny (Rowe), Nathan and Heidi (Fowler).

Mandy was a beautiful soul. We are all certain she was greeted with open arms and is now at peace.

A graveside service will be held at Oak Grove Cemetery in Bath, Friday May 15, at 12 noon, with reception to follow.
