Hannah Manthey
Hannah Jo Manthey of Fargo, ND, passed away on Tuesday, October 18, after a long struggle with depression. She was 28 years old.
Hannah was born in Fargo, ND, the daughter of Frank and Diane Manthey. She graduated in 2011 from the University of North Dakota with a Bachelor of Science in Psychology and a Bachelor of Arts in Music. She loved to play many instruments, including the flute, the piano, the guitar, and the harp. During this time Hannah was also diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder and worked tirelessly on her own mental health, reaching out to friends and family and engaging with mental health professionals regularly. Hannah carried her perceptive, quirky sense of humor throughout her darkest times and modeled a way to be enduringly human while suffering in a way that no other person could understand. She impacted the lives of everyone she came into contact with to through her vulnerability, transparency, and sense of humor.
Hannah was able to take her love of music as well as her desire to help other people with mental illness into volunteer work at nursing homes. More recently, Hannah worked as an Activities Assistant in the Memory Care Unit at Ecumen Evergreens Assisted Living Facility. Music and helping others were always a part of how she operated in the world, and she will be dearly missed.
Hannah is survived by her parents, Frank and Diane Manthey, her sister Katie Manthey, and her brothers Karl and Dominic Manthey, as well as large network of extended family and friends.
The prayer service will be at 7:00 PM on Sunday, October 23rd with a visitation beginning at 6:00 PM at Holy Spirit Catholic Church. A funeral will be held Monday, October 24th at 2pm at Holy Spirit Catholic Church with a visitation one hour prior.
In her memory, the family asks that you make a donation to the National Suicide Prevention Hotline, if you are able.

The Pantelleria Family
I am still in shock over this. Hannah was a wonderful cousin. I wish I could be there to support you during this time. I am so sorry for the loss of Hannah. She was a wonderful, caring, sweet person. I will love and miss you greatly cousin!
We only knew Hannah as one of the our mother’s favorite people at the Memory Care Unit at Ecumen Evergreens. She always put a smile on her face when she saw Hannah and enjoyed their interactions. We will miss seeing her when we visit.
Our sympathies to your whole family as you grieve.
Funetal Home Staff: Please let the family read this as I don’t care to have it published as I didn’t know Hannah personally. However, thank you for being so open about her mental illness and her cause of death. The reason I was on this site today is I was browsing as my nephew died by suicide today. He had a diagnosis of bipolar disorder and also struggled with alcoholism. I, myself have a diagnosis of Bipolar 1 and Borderline Personality Disorder. I know the same type of struggles as she had and she was a remarkable lady to fight those every day. I feel God meant for me to see this tonight so please know that her life is still touching other people through you. God bless you
Diane, Frank and family – Mike and I were so sorry to hear about Hannah. Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this very difficult time.

So sorry for your loss. I didn’t know her well at all but had a crush on her in high school, only person I’ve ever met that seemed as shy as me. I hope she’s found peace.
I am so sorry to hear of your loss. Hannah was a delightful and wonderful girl, that enriched my life. I am more than grateful that God gave me the chance to love her like a daughter at one time.
I taught Hannah flute lessons at UND. I very much enjoyed working with her. Hannah loved music and had a real heart for serving others. I am so sorry for your loss.
Ill miss her
Oh Hannah, I miss your smile, I hope that the time we spent hanging out in Selke helped you in your battle. Our short time in the dorm made a huge impact on me in a way few people have.
Eternal rest grant unto her, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon her.
