A Service of Remembrance will be held on Monday, December 16, 2019 at 4:00 PM at the Manilla Memorial Hall on Main Street in Manilla.  A Celebration of Life will follow the service. Burial at a later date in Nishnabotna Cemetery, Manilla.

Darcy Ann was born May 9, 1964 to Ron and Gloria Lohrmann.  After a brief time as the only child, brother Rick joined the family in 1965.  Darcy attended the Manilla Community School and brother Mike joined the family just before Darcy graduated high school in 1982.

 It was the day of high school graduation that the next chapter of her life began.  Darwin Dammann proposed to her, and she was elated.  As a young married couple, they moved to the Lorhmann family farm.  Darwin was a farmer, and Darcy kept the books.  Darcy also worked as a Nurse’s Aide at the Manilla Manor, where Grandma Rose Rutherford resided.  She was loved by all residents there, and she thoroughly enjoyed her work.  In 1990, two became three, and the Dammann family welcomed baby Nick.  It was during her maternity leave that the Manilla Manor fully realized how much she contributed – she was awarded employee of the month upon her return.  Son Jon was born in 1997 and the family was complete.  Throughout the rest of Darcy’s life, her boys were the apple of her eye.

Darcy was a gift to this world.  She was big-hearted, thoughtful, and always giving – with no expectation of something in return.  You couldn’t leave her house without a gift in hand.  She was very independent and lived life the way she wanted.  She was brutally honest at times, but that just made her compliments (which were plentiful) all the more meaningful.  She enjoyed arts, crafts, drawing, painting, and anything creative.  Her letters were always the best thing to receive – a sweet note, just to let you know she was thinking about you.  Darcy had the kindest soul this world could know, and now she is at rest and her soul is at peace.

Darcy died Thursday, December 5, 2019 at her home in Manning. She was 55 years of age.

Darcy is survived by her sons  Nicholis (Brittany) Dammann of Denison and Jonathan Dammann of Denison; parents Ronald and Gloria Lohrmann of Manilla; brothers Richard (Shari) Lohrmann of Manilla and Michael (Allison) Lohrmann of Omaha; and many other family members and friends.
