Obituary

Michi Morio Mano 2/25/1915 ~ 3/24/2006 Michi Morio Mano passed away on March 24, 2006. She was born February 25, 1915 in Clinton, UT to Tsunemichi and Masa Morio. After her mother's passing when she was seven years old, her family moved to Seattle, WA. At the age of 12, she went to Japan to live with her beloved aunt and uncle. She remained in Japan until she graduated from high school. She married Eisaku Mano on August 22, 1935 in Los Angeles, CA. After the outbreak of World War II, they were forced to leave the state and relocated to Layton, UT. She joined the LDS Church in West Bountiful, and was a long time member of Dai Ichi Ward, where she held callings ranging from Relief Society president to nursery leader and many years as a ward and stake missionary. Her devotion to her faith was most evident in her volunteer service - she served for 20 years in the Salt Lake Temple. After her husband passed away in 1973, she served three missions to Japan and one at the church history center.. Other passions in her life included genealogy, quilting, crocheting, the Utah Jazz, and, most of all, her grandchildren and great-grand-children. She will be remembered for her integrity, sharp sense of humor and generous spirit. She will be missed because she loved us all - she was beautiful. She is survived by her five children Ken (Carolyn); Irene (Floyd) Mori; Ron (Cheryl); Sharon (Wally) Haraguchi; and Dick (Linda), 28 grandchildren, 27 great-grandchildren, brother Noboru (Mary) Morio and sister Sachie Kano.
