Edwin Carl Aune
1946 ~ 2023
It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Edwin Carl Aune on Wednesday November 29, 2023 at the age of 77.
He will be greatly missed by his wife of 56 years, Denise (Marcoux), children, Michelle Hutlet (Roland), Ginette Major (Dwayne), Sean (Melanie), grandchildren: Jillian and Jenna Hutlet, Breyanne (Mike) Major, Stephanie (Chad) Allen, Brooklyn and Sydney Major, Tyler and Kamryn Aune, great grandchildren: Madeline, Gisley, Rylan, Ryane, Gunnar, Magnus, and Maesyn. He also leaves to mourn his sister, Marlyn Woods and numerous cousins, nieces and nephews.
Ed was born March 19, 1946, in Winnipeg, Manitoba and grew up in Dufresne where his parents owned the A & C Snack Bar. While attending high school in St. Anne, MB he met his future wife, Denise. He left Manitoba to pursue his lifelong dream of becoming a member of the RCMP. Although his career was short lived, he returned home to marry his sweetheart. Their family started in St. Boniface where Michelle and Ginette were born. His career took him to Portage la Prairie where Sean soon followed. Two and a half years later an opportunity came to open a new claims centre for Manitoba Public Insurance in Winkler. Morden became home while he continued to work for MPI for over 30 years and retired in 2006. Summers were spent in the camper and travelling to visit family in California. Some of our best memories happened around the campfire, in the lake, and on long road trips. Retirement led to more travel which included the Maritimes, Australia, Hawaii, Alaska and countless Canadian and U.S. destinations. Crib, cards, and crosswords as well as spending time with his growing family were some of his favorite pass times. He enjoyed following his grandchildren then some of his great grandchildren in all their sports endeavours. Pépère embraced technology to keep up with his grandkids. His texting skills and emoji usage was on point.
As per his wishes, cremation has taken place and a Celebration of Life will be held at 1:30 p.m. on Monday December 4, 2023 at Wiebe Funeral Chapel Reception Hall, Morden. The family invites any family or friends to share their memories of Ed during the Celebration of Life.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Ed’s memory to Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF), a charity close to his heart.
