ETHEL MILDRED MANNETJE
October 16, 1938 - September 22, 2020

It is with heavy hearts we announce the passing of our dear little mother, grandmother and great-grandmother. We were with her to the very last when she peacefully took her leave of us.
Left missing her are her six children; Esther (Travis), Ada (Eric), Lorna (Fausto), Tom (Josie), Shelley, and Jeremy (Jane). She was proud to have five grandchildren, Caleb (Kim), Rebekah (Ivan), Ronnie, Sheena and Gavin. Also, her great-granddaughter Alicia. So many friends, but especially her dearest friend Kay.
Effie was raised in Argyle, MB, and lived her entire adult life in Winnipeg. She was predeceased by her mother (Ethel May Watts) and father (William Cornelius Mannetje).
Besides caring for her family, she worked many years as a manager for Bargain World. Mom became a dedicated servant of Jehovah at 16 years of age and remained faithful and true.
The family would like to express their deep appreciation for the dedicated care she received at The Revera Waverley and Rosewood and finally at Extendicare Tuxedo Villa.
Cremation has taken place as per her wishes and a memorial service will be held by Zoom conference, October 5, at 7:00 pm.

Condolences & Memories (5 entries)

  • I am so sorry to hear about Ethel. She and my mom were so very close at one time and if she was not visiting us at our house, then we were at yours. She was like a second mother to me during those years. She always had a smile for you and that laugh of hers was contagious. I was always "in awe" the times that I went over to your place because it was so busy and full of life and lets just say it, a little crazy at times, but in a good way. I remember trying to sing while someone played piano, how she couldn't find Jeremy but knew he was probably at the pet store (again) or where had Spike run off to this time. I'm so glad that you all came into my mother's and my life. We are all better for having met you and the love that your mom showed to us always. xxxxx ooooo, Tara - Posted by: Tara Ricard (Friend) on: Oct 06, 2020

  • Hi Lorna and everybody. Sorry to hear that Ethel passed. Knew her since the family lived on Home street. Always had a smile for me. Always thought of her when I passed Bargin World. She'll always be in my heart. - Posted by: Kqeim Hosein (Friend) on: Oct 06, 2020

  • We're saddened by your loss. We have many fond memories working with your mom and her friend Kay in the Ministry on Tuesday mornings. Ethel's pattern of faith is one to be imitated. Always a joy to spend time with. - Posted by: Dave & Sherry Conn (Friends) on: Oct 05, 2020
