                                          January 21, 1963 - July 10, 2018

Roxanne Bushey Manning, 55, passed from this worldly life on Tuesday, July, 10, 2018, in McKinney, Texas, after a year-long
battle with cancer. She leaves her husband, Scott Manning, who was by her side every day as she bravely fought this dreaded
disease. Her daughters Megan Manning (25) and Madeline Manning (21) will also grieve their beloved mother.

She was born January 21, 1963, to Joseph and Frances (Roddy) Bushey in Omaha, Nebraska. Roxanne was a 1981
graduate of Omaha Central High School. She received her bachelors degree from the University of Nebraska – Lincoln in
1985. There she was a proud member of Alpha Phi Sorority and made many lifelong friends. She earned a masters degree
from the University of Nebraska – Omaha in 1987. Roxanne and Scott were married on June 25, 1988, and they recently
celebrated their 30th anniversary. Roxanne, Scott and their young family lived in Omaha before moving to McKinney, Texas, in
2000. She had many beloved friends in McKinney, Omaha and around the country. They provided significant emotional and
spiritual support, especially during the last year. All will miss Roxanne’s caring heart, sense of humor and how her smile lit up
the room.

Roxanne was a long-time special education teacher in Nebraska and in McKinney, most recently at Dowell Middle School.
She loved teaching and having a positive impact in the lives of her students. However, her proudest accomplishment in life
was being a mother and mentor to her beloved daughters. Megan and Madeline will always cherish the incredible influence
Roxanne had on their lives.

Roxanne was preceded in death by her father, Joseph Bushey (2005). She is survived by her husband; daughters; mother,
Frances Bushey of Omaha; sister, Sandra Davidson and husband, Steve of Omaha; brother, Matt Bushey of suburban
Minneapolis; brother, Dave Bushey and wife, Liz of Omaha; sisters-in-law, (that she considered sisters), Mary Jane Havick
and husband, Ken of Omaha, and Margie Hayes and husband, Chris of Osceola, Nebraska; mother-in-law, Louisa Manning,
Geneva, Nebraska; numerous cousins, nieces and nephews; and other loving family and friends.

A Celebration of Roxanne’s Life will be held at 10:00 a.m. Saturday, July 21, 2018, at Stonebridge United Methodist Church,
1800 South Stonebridge Drive, McKinney, Texas. The family will receive family and friends prior to the service from 9:00 a.m.

to 10:00 a.m. at the church.

Memorials may be made in Roxanne’s memory to the Nebraska Children’s Home Society, 4939 South 118th Street, Omaha,

RAYSHANA ADAMS, JULY 25, 2018

Dear Bushey's & Manning's, I thought I would be with you today but,
unforunately, the heat wave & my health prevented me from driving to
McKinney, Texas, this weekend. I am so very sad not to be there with each of
you & give each a hug. I loved Roxanne and have so many memories of her
with her dad and my husband, Bill....and with both families @ Port A ...many
good times & love. Take care of Fran for me & give love to all....Vincy
VINCY ANN DUNN, JULY 21, 2018

We send our most heartfelt love and support to the Manning and Bushey
families. Roxanne was just sunshine in a bottle! She was witty, smart, kind,
and very playful in spirit. Her departure has left so many of us scratching our
heads. Confused and grieving, we search for answers that are beyond reach.
But, there is an undercurrent of immense gratitude that seems to persist; for
just knowing her was such a tremendously lucky and unexpected gift in this
life. She is and will continue to be missed by many. Rest in peace, Little
Firecracker.

JOE AND KRIS HALLER, JULY 21, 2018

Roxanne was, and will endure in the hearts of those she touched, a wonder.
Those within her scope carry with them her vitality, her warmth and generosity,
her joy and her delight.
EDWARD WAPLES, JULY 20, 2018

I am so sorry and saddened to hear of the loss of Roxanne. Her smile always

Washington Elementary, through our times at Central High and UNL. May God
bless all of her friends and family and help them through this difficult time.
SCOTT CAMP, JULY 18, 2018

My deepest and sincere sympathy to Scott, Megan and Madeline. Roxanne

YOUR SAE BIG BROTHERS, JULY 16, 2018

I had the pleasure of working with Roxanne at Norris Middle School in Omaha.
I also remember Husker football parties at Roxanne and Scott's home, a visit
to their lake home and to their home when they lived in western Nebraska.
Roxanne was a warm and generous person. I am truly sorry for your loss.

Rest now, my friend! Until we meet again.
BRENDA PIPER, JULY 13, 2018

Roxanne was a friend and a client. She always made me smile n laugh n think,
and her advice, when she decided to give it, was always spot on. She quietly
was there when I tried to hide a life changing time, and I was even more
honored to know her. Most of all, I was proud to be there for her, and pray she
n her family know I'm there for anything.
ALEX COCHRAN , JULY 13, 2018

Oh how I loved my Roxanne...We loved, learned, laughed, celebrated, fussed,
and cussed together! She was my true friend. Our friendship will be forever

cherished. I thank her for making me a better person and teaching me that
being "you" is enough. Until we meet again my sweet friend... To her fabulous
family...she loved you dearly and I thank her for sharing you with me. I will
forever love you.
NANCY MORTON, JULY 13, 2018

Until we meet again my dear friend. Scott, Megan and Madeline may you feel
the comfort of the Lord as you move forward in your lives. Roxanne has a
lasting impression on so many. Her legacy of love and giving will continue
through all of you. Our family loves your family. Peace be with you all.
CHRISTI TRACY, JULY 13, 2018

Rox was a work-mom for me during my time at Dowell. I would not have made
it through my time there without her encouragement and guidance. Despite
everything happening in her life she always made time to mentor me. She
touched my heart in ways she will never know. She will be remembered
always. Hugs and prayers to her girls and husband. Prayers for comfort for all
of you.
JILL BOWMAN, JULY 13, 2018

I will do dearly miss my close friend, Roxanne. She was one of the funniest,

most positive persons I have met. I had the wonderful opportunity to be an
Alpha Phi sister with her and to have her as a roommate in College. I know
what a great special ed teacher she was and how she was always giving back.
Roxanne was a devoted spouse and an incredible mom. I will miss you so
much. Rest in peace.
