MAE ANN (AMEND) MANNING
Born: Fri., Sep. 2, 1932
Died: Sat., Dec. 12, 2015
Mae Ann Manning passed away in the Wyoming Medical Center in Casper, Wyoming, on Saturday, December 12, 2015. Mae Ann had been confined to her home at Twenty Mile Ranch this past year due to illness.
Mae Ann was born September 2, 1932 in Douglas, Wyoming and her parents were Heinrich Fredrich “Hank” and Gladys Mae (Sims) Amend. She was the oldest child and had a brother, Marvin, and a sister, Mary Amend. Her early years were spent in the oil patch where her father was a driller on some of the first wooden rotary derricks. She attended kindergarten in Lovell, Wyoming. In 1938 Mae Ann’s parents purchased the Lost Springs Ranch two miles south of Lost Springs, Wyoming, and it became their permanent home.
Mae Ann attended the Lost Springs grade school, graduated from the Manville High School, Manville, Wyoming in 1950, and attended Chadron State College in Nebraska.
Mae Ann (Amend) and Robert Wayne “Bob” Manning were married February 11, 1951, in the Lusk Congregational Church in Lusk, Wyoming. Their son, Alvin Wayne, was born December 11, 1951, and daughter, Debra Ann, was born May 26, 1955.
As a child, Mae Ann had always dreamed of living on the Twenty Mile Ranch and raising horses which became a reality when she and Bob were able to purchase it from Mae Ann’s grandmother, Della Sims, in 1952, a year after they were married. During their first years of marriage they lived at Bear Creek, 55 miles north of Douglas on Bob’s family’s place and after the Twenty Mile purchase, they trailed cows from place to place which would take them a week staying in a sheep wagon with the kids. They later purchased the Bear Creek ranch from Bob’s family where they ran sheep. In 2014 the Twenty Mile Ranch was inducted as a "Wyoming Centennial Ranch."
Mae Ann belonged to the Woodbine Chapter #18 Eastern Star, Walker Creek Homemakers, CowBelles, Wyoming Stock Growers, Wyoming Wool Growers, Wyoming Pioneer Association, and the Prairie Hills Lusk Community Church.
Mae Ann rarely missed an opportunity to watch her family members participate in any sporting events or rodeos. Mae Ann especially enjoyed being a timer for rodeo team roping. One of the highlights in her life was sponsoring the Twenty-Mile Roping Club Gymkhanas at her home arena for all the youth in the area.
Besides attending rodeos, Mae Ann enjoyed dancing. She was an avid collector of many fine things such as museum quality turquoise jewelry, and antiques. She lived a full and vibrant life filled with hard work and lots of achievements and joy. She truly was great example of a Wyoming rancher’s wife and her true love was horses.
After Bob’s passing Mae Ann maintained and ran the ranching operation at Twenty-Mile and Bear Creek until her health did not allow her to do so in the past year.
Mae Ann was preceded in death by her husband, Bob Manning, February 12, 2006; parents, Hank Amend in December, 1970 and Gladys Amend on May 17, 1963, and brother, Marvin Archie Amend, on July 18, 1970. She is survived by her children Alvie (Billie Ann) Manning and Debra (Bruce) Murray; grandchildren, Ammie Murray, A.W. (Rachel) Manning, and Man Dee (John) Moore; great grand- children, Tessa Mae Manning, Aubrey Manning, PaisLee Moore, and twins Bella Gray Moore and Annie Mae Moore; sister, Mary (Chuck) Engebretsen; sister-in-law, Irene (Bill) Lindmier; numerous nieces and nephews; a host of wonderful friends and numerous other relatives.
A celebration of her life was held Thursday, December 17, 2015 at 2:00 P.M. at the Wyoming State Fair Grounds, Upper Ag Building with Pastor Echo Klaproth officiating. Interment will be in the Douglas Park Cemetery.
Serving as pallbearers will be JV Boldon, Luke Thar, John Ralph Sullivan, Joe Rankin, Chris Hickman, Chad Budd, Todd Wright, and Freddie Thomas.
