Wayne was born Aug 10th 1919 in Mount Washington in Kansas City Missouri. In 1930 his family moved to St Claire County, then in 1937 to Appleton City.
In 1940 Wayne enlisted in the Marines Corps serving six years. Wayne was mentioned on page 190 of the book, "Tarawa, The Story of a Battle" by Robert Sherrod. He earned a Purple Heart in 1943. This was his second day on Tarawa Island in the South Pacific. He was injured and was sent to a hospital in Hawaii to recover.
Wayne married Effa Lora Jordan, May 13 1948 in Independence Missouri. She preceded him in death in 2007.
He was also preceded in death by his parents; James Allen and Elsie Leticia Foster Mannering and three brothers; Donald Mannering, Guy Mannering, and Paul Mannering.
He is survived by two daughters; Barbra Ward of Lee's Summit and Deborah Mc Indoo of Centerview Missouri. Two brothers; Ray and Robert Mannering; a sister Ruth Hanson; five grandchildren; nine great-grandchildren; four great-great-grandchildren; 25 nieces and nephews; 36 great-nieces and nephews and 38 great-great-nieces and nephews.
Wayne worked building houses for Andies and Roberts throughtout the Independence area, specializing in concrete work. He also worked Block and Brick construction. He later worked for and retired from Portland Cement.
After his mother passed away, he moved to Clinton Missouri to be closer to the lake to go fishing. There he owned a taxi service. He enjoyed traveling with his oldest grandson Gabriel and his grandsons Isreall and Andrew who liked to spend summertime with Grampa. In 1998 he suffered a stroke and moved to Centerview to be closer to family and friends.
Wayne's hobby was fishing, and he was pretty good at it too! Crappie and bass feared him! He always had a good fish story. He enjoyed puzzles and was an expert at dominoes. He collected sweepstakes and hoped he would win the Publishers Clearing House. He said his van automatically drove to garages sales. He was always entertaining with a good joke. He could tell a good story and loved to hear one. The grandchildren knew Grampa usually had a piece of candy or two for them in his pocket. He was a strong hardworking man all his life and a die hard flirt.
There is not enough words to explain everything about this wonderful man or what his dreams were. He will not be forgotten. He will live in our hearts and treasured memories forever.
His funeral service was held at 3 PM March 7th at the Miracle Ridge Cemetery with Brother Johnny Meyers of the Resteroration Branch officiating. A 21 gun salute was performed by VFW in his honor.
