Lois Jean Manning, affectionately known as "Hanky" was born on December 18, 1966 to the late Lewis and the late Dorthy Jean Easter Manning. On Tuesday, July 29, 2025, she departed this life and entered into eternal rest.

A member of the 1984 Magnolia High School graduating class, Lois was always the life of the party. She was a very independent person. Hanky believed in doing things her way. She loved her family dearly, especially her boys! She loved to cook, because she loved to eat. Music was the light of her soul, and she loved to dance even if she had to dance all by herself. She lived life to the fullest in her very own special way.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Lewis and Dorthy Jean Manning, her nephew Anthony Manning, her sister, Donise Harris and brother, Don Harris.

Hanky leaves cherished memories with her sons Andre Manning and Antonio Manning, her brother Kenneth Ray Manning, her sister, Jeanette (Jerry) Beasley, three special aunts: Shirley (Willie Dale) Gilbert, and Betty Easter, Neverline Green, all of Magnolia, AR, two special uncles: Johnnie (Doris) Easter of Mesquite, TX and Harvey Lee Easter of Magnolia, special cousins: Gwendolyn Simmons, and Diane (Terry) Brown among a great host of other cousins and friends.
