She is predeceased by her sister, Mary Alice Howard, and is survived by her loving husband, Willie Manson Jr., her brother, Raymond Howard, and a large, loving family, including ten grandchildren who were the light of her life. Petrolia's family will hold a private funeral ceremony to honor her memory and celebrate her remarkable life. Petrolia Susie Manson's legacy of love, warmth, and generosity will forever remain in the hearts of all who were fortunate enough to know her. She will be dearly missed but never forgotten.
