Anna Bens Manrique

On September 24, 2015, Anna Manrique (nee Bens), devoted mother of Michael Manrique, Donna Manrique and Trudy Diehl; dear grand mother of Terri Mellott and James Diehl; great grandmother of Haleigh Diehl and Eric Mellott.

Ann was truly one of a kind and there will never be another like her. Always putting others before herself, she devoted her life to the care and well being of her son Michael who lived with her. Though she faced challenges in her life, she always had a bright smile, an upbeat tone in her voice, a spirited comment, and song in her heart. She was very young at heart, and truly made a positive impact on the lives of many from the mailman to her children in her unrelenting love and commitment.
