Ronald Elmer Mantie
1947-2018
After 70 years of a life well lived, Ronald Elmer
Mantie, slipped away quietly, peacefully, and with
dignity at his home, with his family at his side.
Born in Steinbach, Manitoba, Ron’s career with the Royal Bank took him
and his family to many locations throughout Manitoba where many new
friends and memories were made. Retirement to the Maritimes,
first to Bridgewater, NS, then to Summerside PEI, was special for
Ron. Being close to his grandchildren and watching them grow
up gave him so much pleasure! Wintering in Florida with
friends, old and new, were also special times for him. A true
gentleman, Ron was a man of many interests and talents. He
loved woodworking – everything from finishing a basement to his
Intarsia; his yard and gardens were his pride and joy; he
loved to golf, curl, bowl, and was an avid fan of the Winnipeg Jets
and the Toronto Blue Jays. He was also an avid reader
and loved to sketch and draw. Throughout
the years and many moves, Ron gave much of his time to many
local organizations including the Kinsmen and Lions Clubs. Missing him
already but so grateful for the 46 years of togetherness full of joys,
sorrows, and adventures is his wife Mary (Liska) Mantie.
Proud to call him dad is son Dustin and his wife Tracy. Three
very special grandchildren – Jacob, Mollie, and Dane were such a big
part of Ron’s life. Ron’s daughter, Jillian, was tragically
killed in an accident in 1998. Resting at the Moase Funeral Home,
Summerside. By personal request, there will be no funeral
service. Cremation has taken place and interment will take
place at the St. Paul’s Lutheran Cemetery in Steinbach,
Manitoba, at a later date. In lieu of flowers
or donations – hug a loved one and tell them you
love them. Life is too short not to let them know that. In
keeping with his gentlemanly nature, Ron was very appreciative of the
support and care he received from all staff at PEI Health.
Special thanks to Dr. Matt Kutcher and a special Palliative nurse –
Anna Marie Lynch. Ron was loved by many and will be deeply
missed, but – know that his road was well traveled and his
end was gentle and on his terms. Thank you to all of you who
have shown your support and kindness to Ron and our family throughout
this journey.
