Johnna Tyree Manco, 58, passed away unexpectedly in the early morning hours of Friday, July 23, 2021 at her home in Lebanon.
She was born Johnna Jaylene Cundiff in Boone County on Sept. 29, 1962, a daughter of the late Coy O’ Gay Cundiff and Beverly Sue (Goldsberry) Cundiff.
She was a 1981 graduate of Lebanon High School. Post high school, she would go on to obtain her nursing degree from IVY Tech, and subsequently practice as a nurse for over 30 years.
