Mahnon’s number one priority was to spread the word of God and to lead others to Christ. She was a faithful and devoted servant and wanted nothing more than to bring others into a relationship with the Lord. She enjoyed attending every sporting event of her grandchildren and supported them any way she could, always available for advice and encouragement. She was a listening ear for family and friends and would often send a card or treat just to brighten their day. She enjoyed teaching and would share stories about her students weekly. She will be greatly missed by all who had the privilege to know her.
The funeral service will be held at 11:00 AM on Saturday, January 22, 2022 at Northpointe Community Church, 505 E. Webb Dr., DeWitt 48820, with visitation one-hour prior starting at 10:00 AM. Following the service, Mahnon will be laid to rest in Dewitt Cemetery.
Memorial contributions can be made in Mahnon’s name to Two Witness Ministries, 2485 Rowley Rd., Williamston, Michigan, so that we can continue to spread the word of God and bring many to Christ as she would have wanted.
