She was born Aug. 25, 1959 in Ionia, the daughter of Richard and Ilene (Ward) Manning. Debra had a loving heart, child-like innocence and a “free spirit” that took her to many destinations. As a child she attended schools in Ionia and Grand Rapids and was very proud of her later accomplishments allowing her to receive her GED in 2006 at the age of 47. She enjoyed American Indian collectibles, music, playing card, board and dice games, her “red” truck, and many animals, most especially her dogs, Bonnie and Pepper. While going through her chemotherapy treatments she crocheted many afghans and scarves for her family and friends. She is survived by her son, Richard Luis Perez Dominguez of Ionia; mother, Ilene Fockler of Portland; siblings, Yvonne Austin and Richard (Charlene) Hans of Portland, Kathryn Hans of Indianapolis, Ind., Michael and Troy Manning of San Antonio, Texas, Renee (Phil) Sinclair, Allan (Patty) Fockler and Lisa Fockler of Ionia; and many nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by her father, Richard Manning, stepfather, Frank Fockler, and brother-in-law, Gary Austin. The family will receive friends one hour prior to the 11 a.m. service on Monday, Nov. 24, 2008, at the Portland United Methodist Church, Portland, with Pastor Keith Treman officiating. Interment will take place at Balcom Cemetery, Ionia, immediately following the service. For those desiring, memorial contributions may be given to the family in care of Richard and Charlene Hans. A special thank you to the staff of Hospice of Lansing and Ionia Area Hospice for the wonderful and compassionate care given to Debra and her family. Arrangements have been entrusted to Schrauben-Lehman Funeral Homes, Portland.
