Mrs. Anthony was born September 26, 1951, in Ripley, to the late William “Buck” Brown and Veler Pauline Null. She was employed as a hairdresser for thirty-eight years and had been retired for nineteen years. A Christian, she loved all flowers, thrift stores, shopping, and mowing her yard to which she was adamant that no one else mow it. Anytime anyone came to her house, she would make sure they were fed and never left hungry. Nanny will be missed dearly by everyone that knew and loved her.
Survivors include one son, Bobby Kenneth Manley of Walnut, one special granddaughter, Hillary Manley Clemmer (Tyler) of Ripley, two sisters, Jamie Sue Pace and Diane Gillard, her two very best friends, Judy Vankovsky and Debbie Stewart and her great-grand dog, Hazel.
