Monica L. Manning

Loved by all who knew her, Monica had a spirit that lit the room. Her wealth of natural talent included gardening, cooking, beading and quilting; but perhaps her greatest gift was her ability to bring out the creative talents of others. Inspired, inspiring; she lived her life with an open heart, bringing everyone she met inside of it. In accordance with her wishes, no formal ceremony or calling hours will be observed, but a donation to the American Cancer Society in her memory would be greatly appreciated. Surely, all who were fortunate enough to know her have better lived because of it. The memories we all carry, along with the creativityand confidence that she nurtured in so many of us, will ensure that she continues to be a source of inspiration and strength far into the future. Family and friends are invited to attend a memorial service in her memory on Sunday, July 24,2011 at the Candor American Legion, Route 96 B, Candor, NY from 1 pm to 4 pm. A 'Candle of Remembrance' may be left for her family in obituaries atwww.olthof.com
