It is with deep sorrow that we announce the passing of Carole Jene Manke, a beloved wife, mother, grandmother, sister, and friend, who departed from this life on November 7, 2025, at her home in Woodstock, Illinois. She was 83 years old.
Carole was born on February 18, 1942, in Woodstock, Illinois, to Harold and Barbara (Hosier) Sahs. Carole devoted her life to her family as a loving homemaker. Her nurturing spirit and unwavering dedication to her loved ones defined her life.
Carole is survived by her devoted husband, Raymond Manke; her children: Wendy (Eldee) Jackson, Carla Larson, Adam Larson, and Dan Larson; and her many cherished grandchildren and great-grandchildren. She also leaves behind her sister, Peggy (the late Jerald) Heinen, who will forever hold her memory close to her heart. Carole was preceded in death by her parents, Harold and Barbara Sahs.
Carole's warmth, kindness, and love will be deeply missed by all who knew her. May she rest in peace.
