Obituary for Edwina Marie Manness (McDougall)
Peacefully on Thursday, January 31st, 2019 at the Willowview Personal Care Home, Reston, MB with her family by her side, Edwina Manness, aged 91 passed.
She is survived by her children Charles (Beth), Ron (Hilda), Brenda (Craig) Bohne and many nieces, nephews, grandchildren and great grandchildren.
Edwina was born on August 27, 1927 in Winnipeg, MB as was her twin sister Rollie. While working at Perth’s in Winnipeg she met and married Frederick Manness in 1945.
They moved to an acreage in Arygle, MB before moving to Warren, MB for many years. At one time, Edwina owned and operated the Warren Cafe. Edwina was also busy taking care of the family, farming and cattle chores on a daily basis. After Fred retired they continued to live in Warren until 2001. At that time, they moved to the Lions Manor in Stonewall, MB. After Fred passed in 2003, Edwina continued to live in Stonewall until 2010 at which time she moved to Pipestone, MB with her daughter Brenda and son-in-law Craig Bohne.
In 2009 Edwina had hip surgery which affected her walking ability and in 2010 had become dependent on a wheelchair. In 2011 she moved to the Willowview Personal Care Home in Reston, MB. She soon got the nickname of ‘Smiley’ from the nursing staff. Edwina always had quick response to family and friends over everyday conversations which kept everyone in tears laughing.
Thank you to the entire staff at the Willowview Personal Care Home for their wonderful care given to Edwina.
Funeral service will be held on Thursday, February 7th, 2019 at 1:00 pm at the MacKenzie Funeral Chapel, Stonewall, MB. Rev. Patricia Baker will be officiating with interment to follow at the Warren Cemetery, Warren, MB. Pallbearers will be Stuart Manness, Rob Urquhart, Bodee Klassen, Justin Klassen, Bill Manness and Kierra Rey.
In lieu of flowers, the family asks that a donation be made to the Willowview Personal Care Home, PO Box 250, Reston, MB R0M 1X0.
