Obituary for Edwin Norman Hartle
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Edwin Norman Hartle, after a brief illness, on May 30, 2019, at the age of 91.
Left to cherish his memory are his wife of 60 years Inez and his four daughters; twins, born on his birthday, Eileen Brennan and Kathy (Murray) Mulligan, Allison (Harvey) Mankewich, Valerie Hartle; nine grandchildren Michelle (Dwayne), Krystal, Eric (Tanya), Melissa (Robert), Myles, Ashleigh (Calvin), Kendall (Shawn), Shannon (Brett), and Morgan; six great grandchildren Kaydan, Payton, Claire, Conner, Parker, and Fallyn; close family friend John Brennan; sisters-in-law and brothers-in-law Bernice Duff, Shirley and Derwood Dodds, Carl and Fran Paulsen, Sid and Betty Paulsen, and numerous nieces and nephews.
He was predeceased by his parents Beatrice and Charles Hartle, two sisters Elsie Boyle and Sylvia Procure, father-in-law and mother-in-law Bill and Eva Paulsen and granddaughter Sheena Pennell.
Edwin was born February 3, 1928 on the family homestead north of Stonewall. He was the youngest of three children.
On October 10, 1958 he married Inez Paulsen and they were blessed with four daughters.
He farmed the family farm for many years and loved the sound of an old John Deere tractor. As a young man, he also worked at construction, helping to build several homes in Stonewall. He became a custodian with the Interlake School Division in 1961 and retired from caretaking in 1987.
He and Inez moved to their cottage on Lake Irwin, near Neepawa, in 1988. They spent many happy years by the water, returning to Stonewall in 2001, to be close to family.
Edwin enjoyed playing cards, gardening, camping, fishing, water skiing, snowmobiling, tinkering with old motors and driving through the countryside checking out the crops. He loved visits with family and friends and was well known for hosting a good corn and pig roast. He organized several Hartle reunions.
He enjoyed travelling. As a family, we travelled across Canada, visiting every province except Newfoundland. After retiring, Edwin and Inez drove the Alaska Highway and made two memorable trips to Ireland, fulfilling lifelong dreams.
His most favourite memories were of happy times shared with family and friends.
A private family service has taken place. Our family would like to thank you for all your thoughts and condolences during this difficult time.
