Meghan Buras Manton's Obituary
Meghan Buras Manton passed away on May 23, 2010. A life resident of Folsom, she was born June 6, 1991 in Covington, LA.
The beloved daughter of Norman J. Manton, Jr. and Sherrie Buras Manton, she is now joined with her late brother, David J. Manton, who passed away last week. She was the granddaughter of Donna Bulloch Buras, Norman Jay, Sr. and Alma Michon Manton and the late Leon C. Buras, Jr. She was the niece of A. Wayne and Millie Buras, Leon C. “Buddy” Buras, III, Nicholas L., Nathan J., Naomi L. and Nolan J. Manton and the late Sherrie Rodwig Buras. She is also survived by countless cousins, extended family and friends.
Sunshine illuminated Meghan and followed her everywhere. Rescuing stray animals and her diligent display of the peace symbol were examples of the size of her heart, her passion to share peace and her love for all God’s creatures. She had a tremendous love for her brother David, through two separate tragic accidents they were only apart for eight days. One of Meghan’s favorite quotes helps to define her philosophy of life, “Dream as if you’ll live forever, Love as if there’s no tomorrow, Live today as if you’re dying”… May they rest in peace.
