Nancy Elaine Manley

In Loving Memory of
Nancy Elaine Manley
April 20, 1951 – April 8, 2025
It is with deep sorrow and love that we share the passing of our beloved mother, grandmother, and friend. Nancy Elaine Manley, born on April 20, 1951, to Norman and Ann Bauman (Chipponeri), passed away unexpectedly on April 8, 2025. While our hearts are broken, we take comfort in knowing she has been reunited with the love of her life, Bryan Manley, who preceded her in death. We know they are dancing together once again to their favorite song, just as they always dreamed.
Of all the roles Nancy held in her life, her favorite was being a wife. She adored Bryan-her "honey," "boo," and "Juan"-with a love that was deep, unconditional, and beautifully evident to all who knew them. Their bond was the foundation of everything she did, and their love story remains one of our greatest inspirations.
Together, Nancy and Bryan built a life full of laughter, resilience, and love. She is survived by their three children: Sarah Manley (Komar) and her husband John, Amber Manley (Wethern) and her husband Josh, and Travis Manley and his wife Alexis. Her greatest joy came from her 14 cherished grandchildren: Sadie-Anne Holley (Padilla) and TJ Holley, Kenneth Padilla, Andrew Wethern, Londyn Manley, Mason Wethern, Addisen Padilla, Nicholas Wethern, Jett Manley, Caiden Padilla, Liam Wethern, Hailey Miller, Luke Manley, and Ruth Manley, along with a soon-to-arrive great-grandchild, Baby Holley.
Nancy loved her family with everything she had-especially her grandchildren, who were the light of her life. She was the one who held us all together, always putting others before herself, always offering her love and support without question. She constantly wanted the best for each of us, never realizing that she was the best part of all of us.
She will be remembered for her selflessness, her radiant warmth, her unshakable devotion, and the way she made everyone feel seen, safe, and loved.
A service to honor Nancy's life will be held on April 28th at 1:00 PM at Allen Mortuary, 247 North Broadway, Turlock, CA. A reception will follow at 205 Wiley Ct, Turlock, CA 95382, where we will celebrate her life in true Mom and Dad fashion-surrounded by love, stories, and the people she adored.
