Marrying Bob Manning gave her life great purpose as they together raised seven children. She was a trusted and valued partner in all their endeavors. She was kind, unselfish and as Bob liked to say, "a beautiful woman!" Together they worked hard, dreamed big, and ultimately enjoyed the fruits of their labor with a long retirement surrounded by friends, but mostly by their large and loving family.
Preceded in death by her husband of 65 years, Robert R. Manning. Survived by her children, Pat, (Margie), Suzanne, (Bob Steele), Lorelei, (David Gibson), Maureen, (David Guth), Bob (Donna), Tom (Cindy) and Dennis (Roxanne).
