From our house to yours, from the family of Harry and Mae Manning we wish our cousins the deepest of sympathies on the passing of Dorothy Manning Williams. It is amazing to us that our Aunt Dorothy lived to be 101. From a historical perspective she was born before the end of the first world war, lived through the roaring twenties, lived through the depression of the thirties, the second world war of the forties and went on to celebrate the turn of the century. Aunt Dorothy started out with horses and steam engines for thrashing on the Manning Tobacco farm in Rosanna, moved to Tillsonburg where she married Albert Williams and supported his automobile business. They drove around in a black Cadillac like Marilyn Munroe. I remember Aunt Dorothy as someone who accepted life in a placid fashion who moved on and made the best of things in the face of any adversity. I think she was very intelligent and an independent thinker as well as circumspect about life. Aunt Dorothy always went out of her way to have a kind greeting for me whenever I saw her She is one of the oldest and longest living of the nine Manning children Born to frank and Beulah Manning. Aunt Dorothy will be Sorley missed.
