Anne Elizabeth Manning

HOT SPRINGS — On Aug. 22, 2005 Anne Elizabeth Manning died at her home. She will be remembered fondly and with love.

Anne was born Sept. 14, 1946 in Waubay, S.D., to Andrew and Jane Sandvig. Anne was the third of 12 children. Anne's family moved to Arlee when she was just a young child. She attended Arlee schools until high school when she attended Mount Ellis School in Bozeman for a short time.

Anne moved to Hot Springs in the spring of 1964 where she met the love of her life, LeRoy Manning, Jr. They were wed on Nov. 6, 1964. This union produced four children.

Anne loved her family dearly. She concentrated on her grandchildren in her later years. She was always making time and going the extra mile for them. She especially loved her home and garden. She was always exploring ways to expand her yard to fill with more of God's treasures. Her grandchildren were a big part of that yard as they would often help her with the upkeep. Being surrounded by family was her biggest joy.

Anne had so many friends who were a big part of her life. They provided her with daily companionship, gossip and laughter. Anne was always thinking of others, especially during the holidays when she was often cooking for her elderly friends who were unable to cook meals for themselves. Anne will always be remembered for her unconditional generosity.

She was preceded in death by her husband LeRoy; her father Andrew Sandvig; a sister, Rose; a grandchild, Pharoah McGraw; brother George Edward Engelbret and a son-in-law, Jerry Chaves.

Survivors include here children, LeAnne "Bubbles" Manning of Hot Springs, William (Jean) Manning of Marysville, Wash., Jenifer (Robert) Mitchell of Hot Springs and David (Shirley) Manning of Butte; her mother Jane Sandvig of Arlee; brothers and sisters, Daniel Sandvig of Arlee, Betty Jane (Dwayne) Hunt and Keri McDonald of East Missoula, Gloria (Mel) Kincaid of Spokane, Laura (Ron) Boyce of Polson, Andrew Sandvig of Missoula, Archie (Lorie) Sandvig of Big Arm, Marvin (Vicky) Sandvig of Florence, Emmy (Tim) Burt of Wenatchee, Wash., and George Engelbret of Oklahoma; 13 grandchildren, three great grandchildren and numerous nieces and nephews.
