Stephanie Marie Manners' Obituary
Stephanie Marie (Wrisley) Manners, age 45, of Vestaburg passed away at Greenville hospital on Tuesday, August 1, 2023. She was born to Joanna Wrisley and Steve Jensen on April 13, 1978, in Carson City Michigan. Stephanie was a unique soul filled with kindness and compassion for all those who met her. Family time was important to her and being considered family didn't always mean that you had to be blood. She chose to open her heart and home to any and all. Baking desserts became her way of sharing her love, whether a holiday or just "any other day" you could count on Stephanie's treats to give your sweet tooth a fix. She enjoyed reading and spending time with friends and her animals.
Stephanie was preceded in death by her husband of 14 years Franklin Manners, her grandparents Eliza Jean and Kendall Dean, her mother Joanna, her sister Amanda, and stepson Dallas.
She is survived by her stepsons Franklin, Philip, and Shannon; her niece Nikita; her grandchildren Alora, Lizzy, Kira, Tristen, Elizabeth, Alexia, Mathias, and Adrianna; grandpa Mike Antcliff; step-dad Dennis Burns; brothers Bryan, Steven and Anthony; and many aunts, uncles, and cousins. Special mention to Kayla and Justin Wrisley, Bobbie Jo Conley; Ricky, Kenny and Justin Albee, Jason Howel, and Dennis Burns Jr.; "sisters by choice" Tonya Gorsuch, Lisa Marie Donley, Tammy Soule, and Emme Manners.
Stephanie will be forever missed. Please join friends and family on Saturday, August 12, 2023, at 5 PM for funeral services held at Rock Lake Bible Methodist church. (8101 N. Pine Grove Road Vestaburg, MI) Services will be followed with a light dinner and a silent bake auction. A burial will take place in Six Lakes, MI at a future date.
