" In Loving Memory of Mary Ann Manley

Mary Ann Manley, born November 29, 1948, passed away peacefully on April 4, 2026, surrounded by her loving family.

Mary Ann was known by all who loved her as one of the sweetest and most caring people one could ever meet. She possessed a gentle spirit, a generous heart, and a natural ability to make others feel loved, valued, and truly special. Always ready to help, to give, and to love with her whole heart, Mary Ann’s kindness touched everyone who had the privilege of knowing her.

Family meant everything to Mary Ann. A devoted mother and grandmother, she created a home filled with love, laughter, and warmth. She found great joy in caring for those around her and was a steady source of comfort and encouragement for her family.

Mary Ann also found deep fulfillment in her career in banking. She took pride in helping others and formed lasting friendships with customers and coworkers alike, treating each person she encountered with genuine warmth and compassion.

She is survived by her beloved children, Rob Manley and his wife, Carrie Manley, and Melissa Parman and her husband, Josh Parman; by her cherished grandchildren, Juliette Manley, Henry Manley, Myles Manley, and Jackson Parman; as well as her adored great‑granddaughter, Olivia Dudley. She is also lovingly remembered by many dear friends whose lives were blessed by her kindness and generosity.

Those who knew Mary Ann will forever hold her memory in their hearts—her sweet smile, her caring words, and the way she made everyone feel seen and loved. She leaves behind a lasting legacy of love, compassion, and faith that will continue to guide and inspire all who knew her.

A service celebrating Mary Ann’s life will be held on Saturday, May 2nd, at 11:00 a.m. at Mill Cove Church. A reception will immediately follow in the fellowship hall, where family and friends are invited to gather in her honor and share memories of her beautiful life.

Flowers will be graciously accepted, and those wishing to honor Mary Ann’s memory may also make a donation to the Children’s Nursery at Mill Cove.

“Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort.”
