Sarah Elise Manning, 30 years old, passed away Saturday, May 14, 2022 at her home in Scottsdale, AZ. She was born on February 14, 1992 to James G. Manning, III and Leah Boswell Bossano in Lake Charles, LA.
Sarah was a 2010 graduate of Saint Louis Catholic High School where she completed her French Immersion studies of 13 years.

James Manning, Jr. and Diann; her sisters, Natalie Medders (Jeff) and Rachel Shaw (Austin); her nieces, Ivy Medders and Priscilla Shaw; and her nephew, Oliver Medders; and her grandparents, Patricia Monticello Boswell and Dr. William Baxley.

Ohh sweet, Sarah. The memories we all hold with you are undeniably, the best. There was never a dull moment with you! I can hear your contagious laugh as I write this. You were the brightest spirit with the prettiest smile. I just know that you walked into Heaven singing Guinevere and she’s with you. I sure hope Heaven knows the Angel they gained Fly high sweet girl—thank you for your friendship, the memories and the love!

Having graduated high school with Sarah, I’m thankful to have so many memories with her. Sarah and I shared several classes together, with speech being the most fondly remembered. Sarah was witty, brave, and bright. She was also inherently kind, and that showed in her support for others. Sarah was a good listener. She was complimentary and encouraging. And Sarah was a good friend.

I will always remember Sarah’s sweet smile and beautiful blonde curls as a little girl at Prien Lake with my sister. As an adult, she was always quick to greet everyone by name full of warmth. Rest In Peace Sarah and may your friends and family find comfort and peace during this difficult time.
