She graduated from Little Rock Central High and received a Bachelor of Arts in Early Childhood Education from Washington University in St. Louis. She was an elementary school teacher and in her later career worked with teachers throughout Arkansas as an early childhood education consultant and counselor. She worked with Head Start in the development and creation of their early childhood education program. She was a founder and served as President of Second Genesis, a non-profit organization that worked towards helping reduce recidivism for incarcerated women in Arkansas by providing them with education and support upon their release. She served on the board of Arkansas Opera, the Arkansas Symphony Orchestra Guild, and the Little Rock Civic Ballet Company.

She was a wise and wonderful friend and listener with a soothing voice and a compassionate heart. She was a voracious reader, a creative writer,  a lover of classical music and opera, a talented artist and dancer, and nearly unbeatable at Jeopardy. Her quick wit and dry humor were one of a kind. Her table was always beautifully set, and she valued highly the perfect cup of tea. 

The family will gather for interment at Roselawn Cemetery where she will be memorialized forever alongside her parents Martha Anne Manees and Ted Morley,  her grandparents Alma Edwards and E.O. Manees, and all of her Manees family aunts and uncles.

Visitation will be 4:00 - 5:30 PM on Monday, February 13, 2023, at Ruebel Funeral Home, 6313 W Markham St, Little Rock.

In lieu of flowers, memorials may be sent to Wolfe Street Foundation.
