Obituary: Edward Martin Manning - Atlanta Jewish Times

Edward Martin Manning passed away on Sept. 15, 2024. Eddie, as he was known to family and friends, was born on Oct. 25, 1940, in Charlotte, N.C. He was the son of Pearl and William Manning, and he spent his childhood growing up in Gastonia, N.C.

Eddie attended the University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill and was a lifelong devoted Tar Heel. He met his wife of 61 years, Dale Nye Manning, when they were counselors at Camp Blue Star during college. Eddie and Dale married in 1963 and began their married life in Atlanta, Ga. They spent their 61 happy years together in Atlanta and had two daughters: Marcy Manning Matheson (deceased) and Danna Manning Leff (Sandy).

His greatest joy was his five grandchildren: Stephanie Ullman Cloude (Xam), Cory Leff (Lauren), Jaime Leff Shapiro (Reid), Sydney Ullman, and Sari Leff (fiancé, Carl Leathers). Eddie adored the wonderful additions to his family as his grandchildren began their own families including two beautiful babies, great-grandchildren, Margot and Micah.

Eddie spent his career in the insurance business and was the owner of Manning & Nozick Insurance prior to enjoying his years in retirement.

Eddie was dearly loved by his family and friends, and he will be missed by all that knew him.
