Obituary:
Mary D. O'Hanley Coleman, 95, passed away Tuesday, May 29, 2007, at home, surrounded by her loving family.
Funeral Mass: 2 p.m. Saturday at St. Patrick's Cathedral. Entombment: Greenwood Mausoleum. Visitation: 5 to 7 p.m. Friday at Greenwood Funeral Home, with a rosary to follow.
Mary was born Jan. 20, 1912, in Chicago, Ill., to Anne Prendergast O'Hanley and Neil J. O'Hanley. She attended St. Xavier Academy where she excelled in sports. She played the piano and was an Irish dancer. Her love of music has always been an inspiration to the family. Mary graduated from the University of Chicago with a degree in English literature. She has always been our family "grammar authority."
An adventurous spirit followed her throughout her full life. In 1934 she flew in an open biplane across the country. Fifty years later she flew on the trans-Atlantic Concorde. A walk on the Great Wall of China, helicopter adventures over New Zealand, navigating the Nile and riding camels in Egypt exemplified this spirit.
Mary was a gentle caregiver to all around her. She delighted in her home and family. Her quiet demeanor with her quick wit endeared her to the lives she touched.
She was preceded in death by her husband, Roy; and brothers, Louis, Allan and Joe.
She will be dearly missed.
Survivors: Children, Joanne McGinnis and husband, Kelly, Roy Coleman Jr. and wife, Sylvia, Nancy Carlson and husband, Wally, Bette Secord and husband, Bill, Neil Coleman, Mary Seely and husband, Robin; 18 grandchildren; 38 great-grandchildren; one great-great-grandchild; and sister, Margaret Shaughnessy.

Obituary:
David J. Maness Born in Cleveland, OH and raised in Boston, MA he was graduated from Boston Latin School and Boston University with a B.S. in Journalism. He served with the Army Air Corps/Air Force as an Intelligence Officer. Maness was co-founder/editor for SPORTFOLIO magazine before joining COLLIER'S, where he was the Assistant Managing Editor from 1950-1956. He then worked on a precursor to the TONIGHT SHOW, before resigning to become Executive Editor of CONSUMER REPORTS. In 1961 he began a 25-year career at TIME INC., beginning with the Weekly LIFE Magazine as Articles Editor where, via telephone, he edited historian Theodore H. White's exclusive post-assassination interview with Jackie Kennedy that lives on for its invocation of CAMELOT. Maness was appointed an Assistant Managing Editor in 1969 where, in addition to White and other foremost writers of the time, Maness was Editor to Art Buchwald, Ray Bradbury, Loudon Wainwright III, and Sam Rosenberg. After the weekly LIFE was discontinued he signed on with TIME-LIFE BOOKS, first as an Assistant Managing Editor, and then Executive Editor, with responsibilities including all international editorial operations. In 1981, he was appointed Editor for Magazine Development, a post he held until becoming Assistant Corporate Editor. He left that job in 1985 specifically to edit and manage the production of LIFE--THE FIRST YEARS, a huge best-seller that was his professional swan song. Maness and his beloved wife Barbara E. Reed raised their family in White Plains, NY before initially retiring to Cape Cod in 1986, and later to Albuquerque, NM, where Barbara died in 1996. David succumbed to cancer at his home on October 12, 2006, just 3 days before his 86th birthday. He is survived by his daughters; Martha L. Maness, Laura A. Maness and Susan E. Maness; and grandchildren, Genevieve Studer and Benjamin Studer. Cremation has taken place and a private celebration of his life will follow at a later date. The family would like to thank Vista Care Hospice for their care of David. If desired, memorials may be made to the Environmental Defense Fund, NARAL, or The Jonathan Larson Performing Arts Foundation.
