Obituary for
Isaac « Ike » Wiens
Peacefully at Deer Lodge Centre on July 11 our beloved father, grandfather, and great-grandfather passed away. Born on April 6, 1917 in Schoenfeld, Russia, “Ike” immigrated with his family to Canada in 1924, settling in Glenlea in 1925. After completing his education, he taught in various communities throughout Manitoba. In WW II Ike served his country as an Aero Engine Mechanic in the RCAF. During the 1950 flood he served as a flood damage appraiser, returning to teaching until his retirement in 1975 when he began a second career in real estate. He took on leadership roles in his church, teacher associations, and community organizations. He loved to golf, spend time at his beloved Ponemah, and recount stories of his life.
He was predeceased by his first wife, Marjorie McGougan in 1970, his second wife, Dorothy MacLean, in 1991, and his third wife, Joanne Beckert in 2017.
Left to celebrate his life are daughters, Wendy Nesbitt (David) Hong Kong and Alison McCallen (Jim) Colorado, grandchildren Laurie, James (Melissa), Jonathan (Kaya), Michael (Katie), Kathryn (Brent), Andrew (Leslie) and great-grandchildren Annaliese, Christian, Camilla, Jake, Emily Quinn, Luna, Ben, and Anna. He is also survived by siblings Agnes, Henry (Mary), John, Peter (Louise), and Edith and many nieces and nephews, as well as members of the Beckert family.
Our heartfelt gratitude to the many caring hearts and hands of T6 at Deer Lodge Centre and the loving care of the staff of Get U There.
