Former Miss Mississippi Kathy Manning dead after COVID-19 battle

Miss Mississippi 1984 winner Kathy Manning has died from the coronavirus. She was 59.

Manning, who also worked as a weather reporter, sunscreen model and recording artist, had been battling the illness for several weeks and succumbed to it on Dec. 23 in Collierville, Tennessee, according to her obituary.

It is unknown if she was vaccinated or not.

Manning was survived by her children — Robert Edwin Loeb, Anne Hensley Loeb and Jackson Manning Loeb.

The Ole Miss graduate was also the second runner up for Miss America and a Miss USA semifinalist.

She was born in Clarksdale, Mississippi, May 28, 1962 and received a BA in in Psychology from the University of Mississippi.

“For the many people who knew her, she was someone who loved to connect with people from many different walks of life – and really get to know them for who they are and what brought them joy,” her obituary stated.

That usually means they were not vaccinated . Especially in this case where she was hospitalized for some time if she WAS vaccinated we would likely have heard about it .

Even those who support getting the vaccines and did get it would want it known if they ended up sick and dying after being vaccinated so more people can try to figure out why that was to help prevent it .

Not unless you have an underlying disease and or other issue you do not die of the disease
if you have been vaccinated. Something like >99% who have been vaccinated do not die
from C-19.

I bet you she was "a Christian woman" who didn't get the shot because of "her faith."

Is she from the Archie Manning football clan?

Not like I have a huge number of friends to judge by, unless you count all the fine people here on DU. However, all of my vaccinated friends practically shouted from the rooftops when they got vaccinated. There have been many, many posts here by people who have been vaccinated. It's just hard for me to believe that she was vaccinated and just didn't mention it to ANYONE. I mean, it was a BFD.

Just my opinion. It's too bad that so many people are willingly and willfully putting themselves and others in harm's way.

Credit due, she was highly active in charities....

After she completed her time in pageants, she became an active participant with charities including Memphis Humane Society, Alzheimer’s Day Care Centers, Palmer Home for Children, Crisis Center and Orpheum Memphis.
