  	LifeSketch Warren — Verna O. "Bunny" Mank, 80, died at Penobscot Bay Medical Center, Rockport. Mrs. Mank was also known as "Auntie" by family, and friends. Born in Warren, she was the daughter of Ralph B. and Regina M. Studley Robinson. She was educated in Warren schools. January 18, 1952 she married Floyd R. Mank. Her husband was a woodsman and at times she drove the logging truck for him. Mrs. Mank was an accomplished and dedicated musician with perfect pitch who mastered several instruments. After receiving only four piano lessons as a young child, her parents were told her musical abilities exceeded those of her teacher's. Mrs. Mank began giving piano lessons at the age of 11 and at the height of her piano teaching career, had in excess of 60 students per week. She continued teaching piano until February of this year. During the 1940's and 1950's Mrs. Mank headed the Warren Town Orchestra. For more than 50 years she played for minstrel and variety shows in the area and for more than 25 years, played piano for the Riverside Fellowship Club of the Second Congregational Church. With her sister, nieces and friends, she formed the "Believers", a gospel group that performed throughout the mid-coast. Mrs. Mank was a longtime member of the Second Congregational Church of Warren, where at the age of 13, she began playing the Tracker Organ. For many years she directed the church's junior and senior choirs. Sunday School children always looked forward to Mrs. Mank playing for them and would regularly line up to give Mrs. Mank and the choir hugs and kisses. During a presentation April 19th, 1986, Mrs. Mank was honored by appointment as Minister of Music at the church. Unable to play for the Children's Sunday program this year, in Mrs. Manks honor, the children sang without accompaniment. During her career, Mrs. Mank was also employed at the Georges River Woolen Mill, the Warren Post Office and at the local market. She enjoyed feeding chipmunks, squirrels, woodchucks and a multitude of birds that visited her home.
