Send Flowers to the Family Offer Condolences or MemoryELSA MARIE (ANGIE) MATTHYS
We are saddened to announce the peaceful passing of Elsa Marie "Angie" Matthys on Monday, August 26, 2024 at Hillcrest Place, Brandon, Manitoba.
A native of Belgium, Angie and her husband, Arnold Matthys immigrated to Canada in 1953. They settled in southwestern Manitoba; originally in the Lenore region and later on the family farm north of Manitou. They worked the land until Arnold suffered a stroke in 1980. They moved to Manitou and spent their winters in south Texas for the next 20 years. Arnold passed in 2002 and Angie relocated to Brandon where she lived independently until the age of 97 with the loving support of her daughter, Anita and son-in-law, Luc. She moved to Hillcrest Place three years ago where she enjoyed wonderful care from the attentive staff. Angie celebrated her 100th birthday with family and friends earlier this year and particularly loved the cake! Her other loves were her flowers and many pet dogs. She was our beloved matriarch; the last of her generation - our “Iron Woman”.
A life with love is a life that's been lived. We love you, Mom…xo
