Nancy McManness

December 18, 1922 — November 22, 2014

Nancy McManness, 91, passed away on November 22, 2014 in Aurora, Colorado. Nancy was born December 18, 1922 in Findlay, Ohio to Cyrus and Clara Shireman. Nancy was raised in Findlay, graduating from Findlay High School and Wayne State University with a bachelors degree in Medical Technology. She married Lemuel McManness on June 25, 1945, and enjoyed a 65 year union with him. They lived in Findlay until 1984 when they retired and relocated to Colorado for the remainder of their lives. Nancy created a diverse and fulfilling experience. She worked as a lab technician at the Findlay Clinic early in her family years, and was involved in local government through the League of Women Voters and served on the Hancock County (Ohio) Park Board. She was very gifted in sewing, needlework, knitting, and quilting, leaving a substantial legacy of treasures made for others. She also loved the outdoors, with a passion for walking and wildflowers in summer and taking up downhill skiing in the winter during her time in Colorado. World travel was another key enjoyment of her life. In her varied locations Nancy always was a member of a local Methodist congregation and engaged in the handbell choir in Colorado. Nancy was preceded in death by her husband, Lem on September 5, 2010, and her brother William Shireman on July 25, 2013. She is survived by her three children, David McManness of Golden, CO, Anne Decker (Dale) of Eagle, CO, and Thomas McManness (Linda) of Findlay, OH; grand children Ashley Bailey (Kirk) of Denver, CO, Jessica Meyer (Brent) of Denver, CO, Jason Decker of Denver, CO, Jacob McManness of Findlay, OH, and Aaron McManness of Austin, TX; great-grandchild Lilian Meyer. Nancy will be interred beside her beloved husband Lem at the Fort Logan National Cemetery in Denver, CO on December 3 at 12:30 p.m. with a Memorial Service to follow at 1:30 at the Horan & McConaty Family Chapel, 11150 East Dartmouth Avenue in Aurora.
