Maurice Manaigre

February 1, 1930 to January 10, 2018

Following a long battle with lung disease, we sadly announce the passing of Maurice Luc Manaigre, on Jan 10, 2018 at 87 years old. Maurice is lovingly remembered by his wife Yolande (née Grégoire) of 62 years; children Lynn (Bruce), Diane (Darrell) and Paul (Adonia); grandchildren Danièle, Karla, Kristin, Ashley and Austin; siblings Annette (Gérald), Louis (Pierrette), Pat (Yvette), Lucienne (Paul) and Jeanine (Joe); and many nieces and nephews. He was predeceased by his parents, Ernest and Colombe, siblings Yvette, Roland, René, Lucien and Claude, and his grandson Matt.

Maurice was born in Lorette and farmed with his father and brothers. He moved to Winnipeg in 1955 when he got married. The newlyweds shared a house with Blanche (Germain) Boulet and made life lasting memories together with friends and family. Maurice became a steamfitter with Local 254 and directed the construction of many buildings in Winnipeg today. He lived his life with purpose and commitment. His confidence and courage encouraged those around him to a higher standard. He was forward thinking, passionate that those around him excel and dedicated to creating opportunities for others. His deepest values involved family, his spirituality and an exceptional work ethic. His strong, yet private character is greatly missed.

A private family memorial will be planned.

The family sincerely thanks all the caregivers in Dad’s last year of his life.

In lieu of flowers, the family suggests that an act or words of kindness be shared with those surrounding you in Dad’s humble memory.
