EDWINA MARIE MANNESS (McDOUGALL) Peacefully on Thursday, January 31, 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 7, 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.

  • Ron and members of Edwina's Family, sorry to hear of Edwina's passing. As a very young cousin, I remember her happy smile, her constant support for her husband and children. From one Manness clan to the other, and on behalf of my parents, Sidney and Helen, I offer my sympathy. Clayton Manness - Posted by: Clayton Manness (Cousin) on: Feb 07, 2019

  • My condolences to everyone. I will always remember how good both Nina & Fred were to me when I would stay with them in winter when we couldn't get home from school. All the family get togethers to celebrate birthdays, etc. My thoughts are with you all at this sad time. - Posted by: Donna Barr (Friend) on: Feb 05, 2019

  • Nina will be sorely missed by all. What a wonderful person. She was so kind to my cousin Andrew and I as we helped Fred & Harry with their haying operations over a number of summers in the 1980s. Nina, we miss your smile but will take comfort you are now reunited with Fred and Rollie! Thank you for all! - Posted by: Ian Klassen (Old friend) on: Feb 05, 2019

  • Nina was a wonderful person. Outgoing beyond belief and always quick with a smile. A lot of memories have come back from days working the hayfields and Nina and/or Rollie driving out with a field lunch. And those dinners...!! After a long dusty day they couldn't be beat. She was also a patient woman for putting up with those long 'meetings' in the front porch. It seemed just when one visitor left another would pull up to the door. I don't drive past Warren as often as I used, but any time I do my thoughts always turn to the homestead. Nina and Fred were a great team. Condolences to Ron, Chuck and families. She was a great lady. - Posted by: Andrew Enns (Old friend) on: Feb 05, 2019

  • So sorry to hear of Aunt Nina’s passing. I so remember her wonderful smile. My mom would often take us to visit in the summer to visit for a few days during the time we were visiting Aunt Ethel. She was always so positive. Treasure your happy memories! - Posted by: Carlyne Murphy (Niece) on: Feb 05, 2019
