Barbara Anne Lamme Manz, of Austin, fell asleep in the Lord on Friday June 12, 2015. Barbara was born in Austin, Texas on the March 11, 1939. She graduated from Stephen F. Austin High School and St. Edward's University.
She was an active member of Our Lady's Maronite Catholic Church and served the parish as a volunteer for over thirty years.
She was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Lt. Colonel Joe E.

I just saw this obit and wanted to express my sincerest sympathy to Terri and family. I admired your mother and enjoyed her gentle sweet nature when I knew her at the Maronite Church. We both shared the loss of our beloved spouses too soon. May she be with the angels in Paradise.
