Susan McDowell Simrill Manning, wife of Wyndham Meredith Manning Jr., died Tuesday, January 16, 2007.
She was born May 8, 1924, in York, South Carolina, to the late Frank Marion Simrill and Lilly Preston Currell Simrill. She grew up in York, and attended Converse College, as well as the University of South Carolina.

Known as "Honey" to her grandchildren, she was truly beloved by all who knew her. Her passion for life and fun was unsurpassed. She loved to laugh, and to be surrounded by family and friends. She considered every get-together a "great" party. In fact, she thought of everyone she ever met as a friend. Always active, she loved to travel and play bridge and tennis. She held a variety of jobs. Her favorite was as a substitute teacher in Easley, where she made numerous friends of all ages.
