Virginia Maner

Virginia P. Maner, 98, of Kannapolis, passed away Tuesday, May 5, 2020 at Tucker Hospice House in Kannapolis.

Virginia was born November 15, 1921 in Laurel Hill, NC, to the late Leroy Preston Poythress and the late Bertha Mae Caulder Poythress.  She was also preceded in death by husband, Jack Maner; son, Bob Maner; daughter, Joann Hinson; brothers, Brack, Woodrow, Jack, Lerory, and Tom; and sisters, Geneva and Roberta.

Virginia, lovingly known as Mom, Mother, MawMaw, Great Mother, Maw and MawMaw Bruiser, was the matriarch of our family.  Her love for Jesus and her family made her the lifeline to her children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren and great-great-grandchildren.  Mom lost dad in 1991, but God, as He promised in His word, became her husband.  He supplied her every need and kept her safe.  She lived a long life surrounded by the love of her family.  Tales will be told by family members years to come of all her adventures.  Virginia will be forever loved and surely missed by all.

Survivors include son, John (Lenore) Maner of Charlotte, NC; son, Jim (JoAnne) Maner of Hendersonville, NC; daughter, Jean Autry of Acworth, GA; son, Mike (Debbie) Maner of Birmingham, AL; 19 grandchildren; 35 great-grandchildren; and 9 great-great-grandchildren.

The family will receive friends from 10:00 am - 11:30 am, Friday, May 8, 2020 at Hartsell Funeral Home of Harrisburg. The funeral service will follow in the funeral home chapel at 11:30 am, officiated by Rev. Tim Newton.  Virginia will be laid to rest beside her beloved husband at Oaklawn Cemetery, 1626 Oaklawn Ave., Charlotte.
