Manire passed away in 2005. Before she died, she always told her family members that she wanted a tombstone that reflected her sense of humor. As Barbara Sue's daughter, Sherri Ann Weeks, explained, the parking meter was her mom's idea: "Mom always said she wanted a parking meter with 'time expired.' And she wanted to be on the front row of the cemetery so she could see what was going on. We gave her what she wanted."
The meter wasn't installed until a year after Manire passed away, when her children purchased a meter on eBay and installed it. It notes "64 year time limit," (Manire was 64 years old when she died) and continues to get plenty of attention 10 years later.
