January 28, 1937 — July 22, 2015
MANNING,
JOANNE E. (nee Linder), 78, strong, beautiful and supportive mother and grandmother, passed away at home July 22, 2015. Loving mother of Susan McGowan (Michael), Chuck Manning (Lynn), Tom Manning (Dawne) and Carol Koehler (Al), from her first marriage to the late Charles R. Manning. Also survived by 11 adoring grandchildren. Married to her second husband, the late Frederick G. Schmidt, 1976 to 1986.
Mom's gifts included a caring ear and wise counsel, and many benefited. She enjoyed traveling, discussing the news, and indulging her evening sweet tooth.
Joanne was born in Philadelphia, PA, to Elmer Linder and Anna Still Linder January 28, 1937, the youngest of four children. She eloped at eighteen in August of 1955 to Virginia, a marriage "validated" eight months later in a proper church. That same strong-willed and independent spirit also survives Mom, across children and grandchildren.
After her first marriage ended in 1971, Joanne began a successful corporate career, working her way up to the Manager of Human Resources for the I-T-E Imperial Corp. She was proud of her career, and the balancing act it required. Later, Joanne relocated to Ft. Lauderdale, FL, and became a registered nurse. She transferred her RN license back to Pennsylvania in 1987, and provided compassionate care at Genesis HealthCare and Bryn Mawr Rehab. In later years, she worked as administrative assistant at Corrigan-Manning Co.
Relatives and friends are invited to a memorial service Saturday August 1, visitation 10AM-11AM, service 11AM-12PM, at Donohue Funeral Home, 1627 West Chester Pike, West Chester, PA.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to InterFaith Housing Assistance Corp. of Chester County www.interfaithhousingcc.org, P.O. Box 3463, West Chester, PA 19381 or Abramson Cancer Center, www.penncancer.org, 3535 Market Street, Suite 750, Philadelphia, PA 19104.
