Joan McManus Obituary

Joan Hintze McManus NAPLES, FL - Joan entered into eternal rest on October 23, 2012 after a valiant battle with breast cancer. Joan loved the outdoors, especially the Colorado mountains and the family cabin in the woods of Michigan. Her love of travel took her all over the world, collecting heart shaped rocks along the way. Joan is survived by her husband, Tod of Naples; her parents, Jim and Janet Hintze of Charleston, SC; Tod's parents, Jack and Filomena McManus of Naples; her siblings, Jane (Ed) Anania, Jennifer Boggs, and Jim Hintze Jr, all of Charleston and Jack (Shari) McManus Jr. of Cleveland OH. She was a very special aunt to her niece, Victoria Anania and nephews Kyle and James Boggs. Her beloved kitties, Meowmy, TC, and "D" will miss her as well. Relatives and friends are invited to attend the Mass of Christian Burial, Tuesday, 10 AM at the Cathedral of St. John the Baptist, 120 Broad St., interment, Linden, MI. In lieu of flowers Joan asked for donations to be made to the Best Friends Animal Sanctuary, 5001 Angel Canyon Rd, Kanab, Utah 84741 or The Cancer Alliance of Naples, First Ave S, Suite 200, Naples, FL 34102 who kindly assisted Joan with many expenses during her time of treatment. There will be a celebration of Joan's life in Naples at a later date. Visit our guestbook at www.legacy.com/obituaries/ charleston
