Sheila (McManis) Rahorn

Sheila was an Arizona native for 65 years! She was born in Mesa and raised in Tempe. She attended Mt. Carmel elementary and McClintock High, where she met her husband of 41 years. She married Mark Rahorn 11/19/1983 and they raised two kids together, Jake Rahorn & Katie (Rahorn) Thomas. Sheila’s top priority was raising responsible and respectful kids. Sheila is preceded in death by her dad (Raymond McManis) and mom (Arlene McManis). She is survived by her beloved husband Mark Rahorn; adult children Jake Rahorn (Charmayne), Katie (Rahorn)Thomas (Justin), sister Ann Smith (Kevin), brother Raymond McManis; half siblings Lauraleigh Ripplinger and James McManis, and her deeply loved, grandson, Braxton Rahorn.

Sheila spent her life committed to her family and friends. Her family deeply benefited from her excellent job as a homemaker. She did spend several years working in the school cafeteria where her kids attended. She loved the students, and it allowed her to execute her natural tendencies of nurturing others and filling hungry bellies! Sheila loved dogs, lottery scratch tickets/casino visits, and gardening! Her flower gardens were her true pride and joy! Sheila always mowed the lawn when her and Mark owned acreage and she took great joy in ensuring it looked perfect, just like a golf course. Sheila enjoyed camping and fishing and spent lots of time doing this with Mark and the kids.

She was a faithful wife, incredible mother, amazing Grammy, and the most nurturing friend. Sheila will be greatly missed by so many people.
