Mary Gorman McManus, political leader
Mary Gorman McManus, 95, a social reformer, pioneer in women's political activism and one of the first women in Ohio to hold a high state office, died Tuesday at Mercy Fairfield Hospital.
Mrs. McManus came to Cincinnati in 1921, where she met and married the late former Ohio Supreme Court Justice Robert N. Gorman.
Shortly after her marriage, in 1928, Mrs. Gorman enrolled her in the Cincinnati Area League of Women Voters. It proved a jumping off point for her work in politics, as well as social reform.
In a 1995 interview with The Post, on the occasion of the League's 75th birthday, Mrs. McManus credited the league with her activism and her ultimate appointment as director of Ohio Public Welfare. She was appointed to the post by the late Ohio Gov. Michael V. DiSalle, in 1959, the first woman in the state to serve in a high cabinet post.
In 1946, when Mrs. Gorman became president of the Cincinnati League, it had 38 discussiongroups in progress and a membership of 385. She helped push membership to 1,100.
'She was a very determined person,' said her son, Judge Robert H. Gorman, judge on the Ohio 1st District Court of Appeals. 'There wasn't anything she felt she couldn't accomplish, and most of the time, she did. At the same time, she was a very caring person.'
She also served with the Committee for Slum Clearance, the State Housing Board and numerous other boards and committees. She was a Red Cross volunteer nurse's aide during World War II, was a member of the Hamilton County Mental Health Association, and founder and board member of the Ohio Mental Health Federation. She served as president of the Cincinnati Mental Health Council, and was a member of the Governor's Commission on Mental Health. She received the Good Neighbor Award from the Isaac M. Wise Temple in 1962 and the Top Women in Government Award in 1962 and 1965. In 1963 she was honored by the government of Jordan, for her work in public welfare.
Mrs. McManus moved from her home in Wyoming to Largo, Fla., in 1969, where she married the late Fred J. McManus in 1973. She returned to Cincinnati just last year and lived at Maple Knoll Retirement Village.
Mrs. McManus also leaves stepsons, F. Bruce and Donald McManus, of Bellaire, Fla., and the Rev. James McManus, of North Carolina; sister, Zelma Davies, of Hillsboro, Ohio; seven grandchildren and 19 great grandchildren.
