  "Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I
will fear no evil, for thou art with me. Thy rod and thy staff,
they comfort me." Psalm 23:4

  In loving memory of a beloved wife, mother, grandmother, great
grandmother, great-great grandmother, sister, and friend.
Maybell, a homemaker, died Sunday, Jan. 19, 2003, surrounded by
her family at DeSoto Regional Health System, after a long
illness. A native and life-long resident of Louisiana, she was
born February 23, 1918, in Converse. She lived her life to the
fullest, up to the last moment. Death never took her. When the
time was right, she gladly gave herself unto the Lord.

  Maybell was known for her devotion to the rosary and her
life-long commitment to God and family. This kind and gentle
woman will be greatly missed by all who knew her. She was the
most beautiful woman in the world.

  She is survived by her son and two daughters, and her
daughter-in-law and two sons-in-law, Manuel Joseph Manshack Jr.
and Barbara Manshack, Patricia Ann Manshack Ebarb, and Richard
Travis Ebarb Sr., Margaret Sue Manshack Vines, and James Lynn
Vines; her brother and sister, George C. Paddie, and Audrey
Manshack Greene; as well as 22 grandchildren; 60 great
grandchildren; and nine great-great grandchildren.

  She is preceded in death by her husband of 58 years, Manuel
Joseph Manshack Sr.; her parents, John Sidney Paddie and Mollie
Elizabeth Brown Paddie; her son, Sam Harvey Manshack; her
daughter, Mollie Ruth Manshack Meshell; her brothers, Monroe
Paddie, and Sam Paddie; her sisters, Rita Manshack Wilson, Mary
Manshack Santos; her grandchildren, Sandra Renee Manshack,
Vincent Scott Ebarb, and Ronnie Joe Manshack; and her great
grandchild, Travis Chase Manshack.

  The family would like to recognize with special thanks Dr. Denis
Kamberov for never giving up; the entire staff at DeSoto Regional
Health System; the Rev. Kenneth Williams, and the Rev. Robert
Hannigan, for their friendship and spiritual guidance, and all
the many churches and individuals who have prayed for their
mother, and given their support to the family.

  On Wednesday, Jan. 22, religious services were conducted by the
Rev. Kenneth Williams at St. Catherine's Catholic Church in Noble
at 3 p.m.
