Ernest Shelvey passed away peacefully on December 12, 2024. He transitioned into heaven after 97 years of living well. He is in a better place. (2 Corinthians 5: 7-8)
He will be missed by Bertha, his life-partner of 68 years, and his children, Donna, Greg (Sandra), Judith (Hillar), and Bruce (Debi Jo), grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. He is survived by his brother, Roy, and numerous in-laws, nephews, and nieces. Family and friends will miss his kind heart, generous spirit, and gentle manner. Ernest joins those who passed before him including his parents (Halhad and Eva), three sisters (Muriel, Eileen, and Bernice), and his brothers (Elmer and Percy).
Ernest touched the lives of many as a pastor in the Pentecostal Assemblies of Canada. Starting his calling in 1949 in places like Preeceville, Beaubier, Southey, and Mazenod, SK and Oak Lake, Napinka, Goodlands, and Turtle Mountain, SK, he continued on after his marriage to Bertha to pastor in King’s Park, Winnipeg, MB (1956-1964), Parkside and Shell Lake, SK (1964-1969), Gilbert Plains and Grandview, MB (1969-1973; 1979-1989), Virden, MB (1973-1975), Thompson, MB (1975-1979), Rivers, MB (1989-1995), and as Pastor Emeritus in places like Elphinstone, Hamiota, and Elkhorn, MB (1995-2012).
An announcement of a Celebration of Ernest’s Life to be held in mid-April will be forthcoming.
Ernest requested that memorial tributes be made directly to Manhattan Beach Camp (https://www.mbrc.ca/donate-1), a place where he had many fond memories.

We were sorry to of Ernest passing and although we were not close with him we certainly had a great relationship with the family as they lived near us in the rural community. May he rest in peace and the family take pride in all he accomplished in his ministry.
