Read More	Dorothy McManus, Sioux Falls, SD, died November7, 2011, at Doroughty Hospice House. She was 86. Dorothy M. (Link) McManus was born November 17, 1924, at Mellette, SD, to Valentine and Mary (Sprowl) Link. She was raised in Huron, SD, where she graduated from high school. Dorothy then moved to Watertown, SD and became employed with Midland National Life in clerical support. She was united in marriage with the love of her life, Leo "Red" McManus on June 6, 1946, in Huron. The couple made their home in Sioux Falls' North End where she became a homemaker and loving mother to their five children. During the years the children were growing up, she worked part-time. Later, she began working for Golden Fleece Publications as a type-setter, a position she held until her retirement in 1996. Leo passed away on October 13, 2001. True to her Irish tradition, she had a wonderful sense of humor. She was fun and creative; traits that the children always picked up on. The quintessential homemaker, Dorothy managed to balance every aspect of life with ease. She was organized and loved planning out the smallest of details. This was balanced with a deep love for her children. She cherished being involved in their lives. This blessed gift of nurturing was also carried on to the next two generations, as she became a part of the lives of each grandchild and great-grandchild. Dorothy was excited for them; joyful with them; proud of them, and was also there as comfort and loving support when life would take a more serious turn. Selfless and devoted, she lived for her family. Faith was important to Dorothy. She was active at The Cathedral of St. Joseph, and was a member of Cathedral Club and the Rosary Circle Group. For many years, she volunteered at Cathedral Grade School. In her free time, Dorothy enjoyed playing cards and games with her family, and playing Mahjong with her friends. She also enjoyed knitting and sewing. In addition to hand-knitting prayer shawls for people, Dorothy made personal blankets for all of her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Blessed with a compassionate and supporting spirit, Dorothy will always be remembered as a devoted wife, a loving mother, and a loyal friend to all. Grateful for having shared her life are her daughters, Colleen McManus-Kessler, Leawood, KS, Shawn Mulloy, Melbourne, Australia, Jill McManus-Netwal, Kansas City, MO; seven grandchildren, Maurine McManus-Ulmer, Erin McManus, Cassie Green, Matt Mulloy, Michael Kessler, Robert Kessler, Catherine Netwal; 10 great-grandchildren; and her sisters, Betty Higgins, Wessington Springs, SD, and Midge Campbell, Aberdeen, SD. In addition to her husband, Leo, she was preceded in death by her son, Lee; daughter, Bridget Ann; brother, Raymond Link; her sister, Marion Crosby; and her son-in-law, Thomas S. Kessler.
