Obituary
Stanley Keith Dudenhoffer
Peacefully, with his family by his side, Stan passed away on August 18th, 2022, at the Neepawa Health Centre at the age of 82.
Stan is lovingly remembered by daughters Beth (Ken Gamble) and Erin (Chris Dale), by grandsons Jackson, William, and Connor, by Ellen Snedden and extended family. Stan was predeceased by his parents Frank and Florence (Snow) Dudenhoffer and by his wife Mary Dudenhoffer (MacIver).
The only child of Frank and Florence, Stan was born March 23, 1940, in Neepawa MB. He attended Dumfries School and Neepawa Area High School. In his youth Stan was a member of the Harlboro 4H Club and the Number 9 Neepawa Air Cadets. He participated in high school track and field, football and curling.
In 1959, Stan started his career at Canada Packers in St. Boniface in the livestock department. He held many positions over the span of his 36 year career before retiring from the sales department in 1996. It was at Canada Packers that Stan met his wife Mary and many lifelong friends. After retiring, Stan worked part time at the Gimli Liquor Mart for 15 years.
Stan and Mary were married in March of 1976 and would soon welcome daughters Beth and Erin. In 1981, they purchased the cottage at Sandy Hook where many happy family memories were made. Stan was an excellent cook and gardener and took pleasure in sharing these talents.
Stan loved sports! He was a member of the Sandy Hook Golf Club and was also a retired past president and honorary life member of the Heather Curling Club. He especially enjoyed watching the Blue Bombers and never missed the chance to tease his grandsons about “his Leafs”.
After Mary’s passing in 2004, Stan met Ellen Snedden (Wadell) in 2009. They wintered together at Magic Valley in Weslaco Texas for nine years, surrounded by friends. In 2018, they settled in Neepawa.
The family would like to thank all the staff at the Neepawa Health Centre for their exceptional care and kindness.
A Celebration of Life will be held on Sunday, August 28th at 11:00 a.m., at Neil Bardal Funeral Home at 3030 Notre Dame Ave, Winnipeg. A private interment will follow at a later date at Riverside Cemetery in Neepawa. Flowers are gratefully declined, but if desired, a donation may be made to a charity of one’s choice.
