Hope Leigh Dabrovolskis passed away into eternal rest on Sunday, September 6, 2026.

Hope entered the world on March 26, 2003, in Smithfield ("Greensborough"), North Carolina, born to Leanne Manning and Jason Dabrovolskis. She was raised in Picayune, Mississippi, where her vibrant personality quickly made her unforgettable. Hope was a bright ray of sunshine who brought energy and warmth wherever she went. Spontaneous, eloquent, and wonderfully smart, she was known for being the life of the party, goofing around, and always being ready to go on a moment’s notice. She possessed a rare kindness, giving everyone the benefit of the doubt and treating every stranger like a friend. Hope had a special heart for children and delighted in spreading her joy to all of her beloved students at Picayune Head Start. Her ultimate goal was to start her own daycare.

She leaves behind a loving family to treasure her memory: her parents, Jason Dabrovolskis and Leanne Manning; her brothers and sisters, Reba Shoemake-Harris (Joey) , Mitchell Dabrovolskis (Rebecca), Charlotte Carlton (Jerry), and Hailey Shoemake; her aunt Lindy Sheffield (Willie); cousin “brother” Lil Willie Sheffield (Kristen); uncle Leon Manning; cousins, Annalea Manning, Keira Manning; , her adored nieces and nephews, Bre Penton, Bentli Sheffield, Jaxon Harris, Landon Harris, Korbin Tate, Kaysen Harris, Paislee Carlton, Kollyns Harris, Knox Berry, Nash Berry, Journee Carlton, and Shelby Dabrovolskis; as well as her best friend, Emily Russell.

Hope is preceded in passing by her "Mawmaw" Cinda Rodgers, grandfather Frank Dabrovolskis, cousin David Manning, and her niece Lynnleigh Berry.

A visitation honoring Hope’s life will take place at 2pm with the service to follow for 4pm on Saturday, September 12, 2026, at The Life Church (801 Hwy 11 S, Picayune, MS 39466) . Interment will follow at Holliman Cemetery in Carriere, Mississippi. 

The family asks that everyone wear pink in honor of Hope.
