Her Obituary, courtesy of Legacy.com:

Born in Iantha, Missouri on March 20, 1916, the daughter of Nina and Dave Denny (she raised the population to 129). She was an all-star basketball forward and softball first baseman on her Lamar, Missouri high school teams and was valedictorian of her class. She married her high school class mate Alvin Manning in 1937 and raised two children. After Alvin's death in 1957, her business skills were revealed as she rose to be manager and buyer for the intimate apparel departments of two major Salt Lake City and San Francisco women's stores. After marrying Grant Pearcy, a widowed, Manning family friend from Fort Scott, Kansas, in 1969, she enjoyed twice as many children and grandchildren. Upon Grant's retirement, they became rock hounds, jewelry makers, square dancers, collectors of pottery, and life-long friends of all they met. .
