Phil and family, just got this notice and want to say thanks for remembering us down at the Border in your prayers and donations.
Your Mom was mentioned in our community mass , since we are under house restrictions down here also.

My deepest sympathy to the McManus family and friends. I enjoyed Mrs. McManus' yard duty service at St. Anne's as a grammar schooler and friend of Carolyn's. God bless Marion! Alice Wertz

I feel blessed to have known Marion through her daughter, Anne.
Marion had such a big heart , was so very generous and welcoming to her dinner table regardless of how many people. Always a great conversationalist, up on current events, politics and the SF Giants, it
was never boring. I will miss her dearly.
Love,
Maureen

Marion had such a big heart, was most generous, welcoming to her dinner table regardless of how many people. Always a great conversationalist,
up on current events, politics and the SF Giants, it was never boring.
I will miss her dearly. My condolences to all the McManus Family.

I had the pleasure of working with Marion at CCSF REGISTRAR's
Office in 1977. She was such a special lady with a big heart! She was always very helpful to answer any questions about college transcripts. Her birthday was one day before mine. My sympathy to Marion's family.

When your Dad died donations were requested to have a leaf on the back wall of the church. Her thank you note was memorable and now, one of the pillars of my parish is watching over all of us. I am sorry for your loss. Love and prayers, Kaaren

She was quite a woman. I have a picture etched in my memory of Marion mending sox at St. Anne's mothers' meetings. She never just sat. She always had something to do with her hands. But it was the intellect which I loved -- a real thinker. Our world is definitely diminished by her absence. My heart felt condolences to the family. Alice Baldocchi

My deepest condolences on your loss, but heaven is shining a bit brighter now. As a young 18 year old in 1974, I worked with Marion for 1 year at CCSF in the Registrar's Office. She took me under her wing, was always kind and helpful and what I remember most about her was her love for her large family. Rest in Peace dear lady.
