Manning who passed away in 2007. She graduated from the former Manor High School and later worked as a secretary for RCA. Jeanette was a member of Grace Community Church, Millersville. She had a deep love for her family and was a sociable person who will be lovingly missed. In earlier years she enjoyed traveling with family to shared vacation property at the shore. She was an avid Phillies baseball fan & didn’t miss a televised game. She also was sure to have daily (2) pieces of dark chocolate. It wasn’t right if it wasn’t Evans dark chocolate. Tootsie pops were also a common treat.

We purchased Jeanette’s home in Millersville back in 2010.  When we were at our settlement meeting Jeanette pulled a bag of chocolates out of her purse and passed them around the table.  This simple gesture lightened the tension/stress for my husband and I (and everyone in the room) and we never forgot it.  What a sweet and kind person!!  To this day, we still have her door knocker on our front door with “Manning” etched in it…I never had the heart to take it down🤣. I’m sorry for your family’s loss.

I had the privilege of caring for Jeanette. She was such a wonderful person and touched so much of us that we loved her so much that we called her Nana which she loved. Our hearts are broken but we know she’s at peace now. Sending all my love and prayers to Craig and family. God bless. Nicole Spece
