Doris "Dodie" was born in San Angelo, Texas, to the late Caton Hoblit Jacobs and Thelma Maggie Farrington Jacobs. Doris, or “Dodie” met Russell "Russ" George Manning at the Los Angeles Art Institute. After their marriage, they raised their family in Southern California. Russ created the series “Magnus, Robot Fighter,” and illustrated such newspaper comic strips as “Tarzan” and “Star Wars”.
After Russ' death in 1981, Doris lived with Melissa in Tucson, Arizona, for many happy years. Doris was very active in a French language club, and enjoyed going to exercise classes and shopping at thrift stores.
As Doris' memory began failing, Melissa moved the family out to Buchanan Lake Village in Tow, Texas, where Doris enjoyed walking the family dogs in a peaceful country environment. Doris' last years were spent at the Llano Nursing and Rehabilitation Center, in Llano, Texas, where she received excellent care.
Survivors include her son, Roger; daughter, Melissa; other relatives and many friends. F16
