Marcy McManus

Lucille Marcella "Marcy" McManus née Platt, 93, passed away at home on Sunday, November 30th, 2025, spending her last days surrounded by family. Marcy was born on September 14th, 1932, to Leona and Frank Platt, the younger sister of Louise. She grew up in Detroit, Michigan, graduating from Girls' Catholic Central High School. In 1955, Marcy married Thomas McManus and they settled into their home on Three Mile Drive in Detroit, where they raised their three children. Their home was safe and warm, filled with delicious food, laughter, and a dog named Stella. Marcy and Tom were married until his death in 1994. An amazing homemaker, Marcy managed her home inside and out, keeping things running smoothly. She made her family countless incredible meals that they are still attempting to duplicate today. Her Sunday dinners were legendary and friends were always welcome. Marcy was creative and stylish. As a seamstress she made her daughters some of their favorite dresses and gowns for special occasions. She also knew how to spot a bargain, an important skill she passed on to her loved ones over many, many shopping trips. Incredibly hard working, Marcy also held several jobs to help support her family. She was always ready to take on a challenge and used her talents and abilities in her varied professional life. She was a medical office manager, as well as carrying out the responsibilities of a medical assistant. She worked on the factory floor at Bower Roller Bearing. She returned to office work as a secretary and office manager for a law firm in downtown Detroit. From there, she went on to work in the United States Federal Courts as a clerk, retiring in 1995. She said that working for the courts was by far her favorite job and she met friends there that she remained in touch with for the rest of her life. In later years, Marcy lived with her daughter and son-in-law in Macomb Township. She spent her time staying up on current events, keeping in touch with her family and many friends, and visiting with her great-grandson. She kept her wits, humor, and kindness until the end. She will be lovingly remembered and truly missed by her three children, Susan (James) Maruszewski, Thomas (Martha) McManus, and Mary (Salvatore) DiCaro; her five grandchildren, Katelynn (Ryan Urso) McManus, Kelly McManus, Brittany (Jeremy Freeman) McManus, Salvatore (Morgan) DiCaro III, and Cara (Benjamin) Vandelinder; and her great-grandson Henry Vandelinder. She was blessed with an expanded family of step-grandchildren Kimberly (Richard) Schlatterbeck, James R. (Diane) Maruszewski, and Daniel (Jennifer) Maruszewski; step-great-grandchildren Aleigh (Cole) Schocker, Easton Schlatterbeck, Sophia Schlatterbeck, Alexa Maruszewski, Avery Maruszewski, Kaitlyn Maruszewski, Audrey Maruszewski, and Emily Maruszewski; and step-great-great-grandchildren Waylon Schocker and baby girl Schocker due in March 2026, whose middle name will be Lucille after her great-great-grandmother.
