<div itemprop="description">RONALD ERNEST DOWNEY <br> <br> Ron passed away peacefully at Middlechurch Home on June 24, 2016. He was born September 19, 1930 in Gladstone, MB to Noble and Dolly (Margaret). He was second born in their family of five children. He left school young to help his dad with the family farm then in his late teens he moved to Winnipeg to take a butchering course. After working as a butcher for many years he started working for Burns Meats as a sales rep, and also had his own custom meat cutting business with his good friend Corky as a side job. He married Eva Mae Mabb on August 23, 1952 and have three girls. They lived in the same house in Windsor Park for 48 years. They loved their little home and beautifully landscaped yard that they both worked hard at. It was always very warm and welcoming to their many friends and family. They belonged to the Peace Officers Club and then the Elmwood Legion, and enjoyed the pool, dart and lawn bowling leagues they were involved in. He will be sadly missed by all who knew him, especially his wife and daughters: Leanne (Darren), Sherri (Victor) and Lisa (Donovan); his grandchildren: Brad (Paula), Bryan (Celine), Eric, Brittany (Daniel), Kelly (Ryan) and Brayden; his great-grandchildren: Maria, Julian and Brooklyn, as well as his sisters, nieces, nephews and many friends. His passing has left a big hole in our hearts but we look forward to seeing him again someday in heaven! Our family would like to express our heartfelt thanks to the staff at Middlechurch Home for all of their wonderful care. A memorial donation to the Alzheimer Society in Ron's name can be made if so desired, in lieu of flowers. Join us to celebrate his life at 10:00 a.m., July 8 at Glen Eden Funeral Home, 4477 Main St.</div>
