Obituary
It is with immense sadness that the family of Manas Yang announces her unexpected passing, on Friday September 27, 2024 at the young age of 36.
Manas was born in Tulsa, Oklahoma on August 15, 1988 to Joua Pao and Mee Yang. In 2007, she graduated from Broken Arrow High School. She continued for higher education and graduated with her Bachelors of Science in Leadership from Northeastern State University in 2018. In 2016, Manas married the love of her life, Cheng Vang. Since 2019, Manas has been employed at Oklahoma Department of Human Services. She worked very hard and diligently to further pursue her career as a IV-E Custody Specialist III.
All those that have met Manas know she was always so kind, positive, and had the biggest heart. She loved shopping, snacking, and spending time with her family and friends. She has touched many of our hearts and will be deeply missed by all those who knew her.

Ailee Concert 7/12/24 — You were so excited to see her perform Heaven. You had such a great experience that your light stick broke and hit the couple in front of you. 🤣
10/8/24 Auntie Manah, I set up your Christmas tree today with your ornaments. You were so excited for Christmas this year as you usually were, but especially more now that Gwyn and Mars can open presents. Your Christmas spirit will forever live on. Lucas and I miss you so much. We love you auntie Manah. -Troll & Lucas
8/15/24 We celebrated your 36th birthday this day at Olive Garden. No one would’ve thought that this would be your last. You’ll forever be 36. We miss and love you, auntie Nas Nas! 😭🤍
8/16/24 You invited us over your house to hangout with friends and family. I finally bought you the BÉIS weekender bag and was so excited to see you open it. We would always laugh at our inside joke of us being scammed when you had told me BÉIS was having a special deal for $40 weekender bags and turned out it was a scam website lol. Luckily we got it disputed. I knew since then I wanted to gift you the weekender bag so you could take it traveling. I have your weekender bag now auntie Manah. I’ll take you traveling with me whenever I go now. Lucas and I miss you so much. Love you always. -Rog
We took a limo ride on my 30th to go barhopping in Austin.
You helped me get ready on my big day, you acted as my Mother when I didn't have one.
This is the first time I met a lot of your family as you kindly invited us over for July 4th fireworks at your home.
My Bachelorette! You were there at some of my biggest milestones.
We always had shopping or dinner dates when I was still in town.
You came down and celebrated my 30th birthday with me in Austin! This was a photo I took of you at the rooftop bar.

This onesie and two blankets you got her are some of all that’s left of you rog. You were always so happy finding things for her and Vuam Yij. I miss you.
I miss you so much my sweet, sweet baby sister. Every day gets harder without you here. Today, Bao and them visited your home and video called me. Seeing your home with all the familiarity of you just shatters me. I can’t believe you’re gone. I love you forever my sweet Manas.
Lots of silly memories together.
When we took our mini trip to OKC and decided to go on the Ferris Wheels 🎡
Your last photo with Gwyneth. She adores you so much and it kills me you will no longer be around to see her grow up. Love you, Auntie Nas Nas.
Oh how I miss you so terribly, my sweet sweet baby sis. My days have been a blur and everything is at a standstill. Everywhere I go, I'm reminded of your sweet soul. You always made my troubles feel so small. I'll miss you forever. Rest in peace my darling. I love you.
I’m gutted that you’re gone, Manah. I had so much fun working at the mall because we worked together sometimes. I actually looked forward to working on Saturdays, because it meant that we would work together and take our lunch together! I can’t believe you spoiled me all the way through adulthood; even as big as I am now, you’d fight for the bill when we’d go out. I always thought, “I’ll take Manah’s kids out to return her love.” I’m heartbroken that neither of us will get to experience that. I love you, and I trust that you’re at peace and pain free. You and Mel hold the gates open for the rest of us when we join you someday!
i miss you so much manah. words cannot express the immense hurt i have inside, not having you here anymore. i pray that you’re at peace and no longer in pain. somewhere you can wake up everyday and enjoy all the fried food you desire and shop all you like. i’ll continue to be a better person each and everyday because of you. i love you beyond the reaches of the universe. i can’t wait see you again, my sweet beautiful sister. love, Dao
Here's to you, sweet and beautiful Manah. My heart will have this emptiness forever, but may peace be with you.
I’m gonna miss your notes/letters fat. I miss you so much.
Your sweet letter when you were in middle school. Even though we both lived in Tulsa, you still would just write to say hello.
Our countless photoshoots.
