SCHIMANKE, Erwin Martin Georg

December 26, 1927 - January 13, 2025

It is with heavy hearts that we say goodbye to our beloved husband, father and uncle who passed away peacefully on January 13, 2025 at the age of 97 years in Westlock, Alberta.

Erwin is survived by his loving wife Ingrid of 66 years; children: Ralph, Carol, Monica and Mark (Lesley). He also leaves behind several nieces, nephews, and some dear friends.

Erwin was predeceased by his brothers Heinz, Fritz and Siegfried. Erwin was born in Germany and after the war, he spent some time in Australia and Edmonton, Alberta before he married Ingrid and settled on a farm near Busby, Alberta. Erwin was a farmer for most of his life and loved the land. He resisted leaving their farm until the age of 92 years when he and Ingrid moved into the town of Westlock.

At Erwin’s request, there will be no formal service.

We would like to extend our appreciation and gratitude for the compassionate care provided by Dr. P. Newnham, the staff of the Smithfield Lodge, Dr. F. Mydeen and the staff of the Westlock Healthcare Center and Continuing Care Center.
