April 5, 1940 – December 30, 2025

Edward “Ed” Winterhalt passed away on December 30, 2025, surrounded by the love of his family, at the age of 85.

Ed was deeply devoted to his wife, Annette, with whom he shared 65 years of marriage. Together, they built a family grounded in love, hard work, and generosity. He was a proud and loving father to his son, Michael (Kerri) Winterhalt, and his daughter, Karen (Kerry) Thiessen. Ed was a cherished grandfather to Morgan (Brendan) Bouvette, Lana (Josh) Richert, Stacey (Michael) Acquisto, and Aidan Dickson, and a delighted great-grandfather to Lorenzo, Matteo, Barrett, Charlie, and Ansen, each of whom brought him immense joy.

Born on April 5, 1940, Ed lived a life defined by quiet strength, patience, and kindness—qualities that shaped not only his character but the lives of all who knew him. Ed owned and operated Mimic Printing, where his dedication, reliability, and strong work ethic were evident to all who worked with him. Outside of work, he was always ready to help with home projects—some small and some truly giant. One of his most remarkable undertakings was helping to build a second story onto his son’s home alongside his brother-in-law, Leon Morrissette, a lasting testament to his skill, determination, and generosity. He especially treasured working on cars alongside his son, moments that reflected both his patience and his quiet love.

Family was at the heart of Ed’s life. He enjoyed holiday gatherings, sharing stories, and valued the connections he built with extended family and friends. He found great enjoyment on the golf course as an avid member of the Assiniboine Golf Club and would often golf with his daughter Karen, playing courses all over Manitoba. He also valued the camaraderie of the bowling league at Uptown Lanes, where he bowled alongside his wife, Annette.  

Stoic and soft-spoken, Ed was deeply warm at heart. He was generous without fanfare, steady in his presence, and kind in ways that did not seek recognition. His calm demeanor and unwavering support left a lasting impression on everyone fortunate enough to know him.

The family would like to thank the staff at the Grace Hospital for the exceptional kindness and compassion Ed received while in their care. Special thanks to Betty Winterhalt for her help, care and support throughout Ed’s last days. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to a charity of choice.

Cremation has taken place, and a gathering of family and friends to celebrate Ed’s life will be held at a later date.

May 13, 1948 – May 24, 2024

Edmund Hoyes Bowley passed away peacefully with his family by his side on May 24th at 1:30 pm at the Brandon General Hospital at the age of 76.

Edmund Hoyes Bowley was born in Neepawa Manitoba on May 13th 1948 to Edmund and Viola Bowley of Harte Manitoba. Dad grew up on the family farm at Harte until the age of 13 then the family moved into Carberry. There he worked for and apprenticed under his Dad for electrical and plumbing. He received his full electrical license at the young age of 19. He was the youngest certified electrician in Manitoba for many years.

He met Mom and they were married on April 24th 1971. They were blessed with 3 children Melanie, Mark and Linda. They celebrated 53 years of marriage in April.

Dad and Mom lived in Brandon Manitoba where he worked on various projects. They soon decided to move to Carberry and this is when Dad decided to go on his own and start his own business Ed’s Electric, servicing Carberry and the surrounding area for many years.  He then decided to move on and pursue something different, he was hired on at the Shilo base as an electrician originally but then became Contract Inspector on the base for 10 years. Then another opportunity came up for him to be Project Manager for our Health Care Region. Here he was to supervise projects and maintenance of all hospitals in the region.

Once he retired he enjoyed the simple life. He was very particular about his yard and spent many hours on his lawn mower.  He was always up for a visit and a beer in his shop/man cave. Many problems were solved and many laughs were had in that shop.

 While he was at the farm he found a new passion…..motorcycles. Against his family’s advice and disapproval of this new hobby, he did enjoy many rides with his good friends Jay and Barry.

In February of 2020 Dad and Mom moved into Carberry with the Condition Dad had to have a shop/man cave for him to enjoy. Once settled into Carberry and town life they formed many new friendships. He spent many hours cruising the streets of Carberry, checking to make sure everyone was where they should be. Dad loved reading his western pocket books, on cold or rainy days he would read 2 or 3 a day.

Then another new hobby of side x siding came, which Mom and Dad both very much enjoyed. Many good rides, lots of laughs with great friends.

Dad was also a senior member of an elite Dart Club. He sure thought a lot of these guys and they always made him feel welcome.

Dad really enjoyed his kids, grandkids, and great grandkids. He loved hearing about everything going on in their lives. Dad was fortunate to have his own Mom with him until she passed in 2019 at the age of 100. He faithfully visited her everyday to check in and keep her up to speed on the daily goings on. Dad enjoyed reading his western pocket books, cruising the streets of Carberry.

Dad gave the best hugs, had an ear to listen, advice to give and was always there to help. Dad was truly our best friend, confidant, and he was a true gentlemen. Our hearts are broken, and we will miss him terribly.

Dad was predeceased by his parents Edmund and Viola Bowley, his sister Gail Mack, brothers in law Willy Mack, Glen Duncan and Jim Caughell.

Dad is survived by his loving wife Donna, daughter Melanie (Jason) Sam, Tylor Rylee and Travis, Cole and Whitley, son Mark (Laura) Torey, Elijah, Hunter and Madi, daughter Linda (Brett) Barrett (Kira) and Carter, Sisters- in- law Marge Caughell and Sharon Duncan.
