It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our dear husband, father, grandfather and brother Clyde Manswell. He is predeceased by his parents James and Flora(Rowley) Manswell and siblings, Lennox, Stephen, Eugene “Chuck” and Neville. He will be greatly missed by his wife of 56 years Irene Manswell (née Theriault), and their 4 children Gisele (Curtis Charr), Miriam (George Gushulak), Monique (Henry Vasquez), and Robert (Kimberly Lenz). He is also survived by 6 siblings Carlton (Theo-deceased), Sheila, Eileen (Norbert Paul), Audrey (Norbert “Pancho”Jackson), Roderick (Marjorie), and Vivian (Willie); 6 grandchildren (Alexa, Ashley, Maya, Jaden, Daniel and Jasmine), the Manswell family in Winnipeg: Lennox, Cynthia and Kevin, as well as many nieces, nephews, and cousins. The family would like to express their thanks to Claire Soulodre for her support and care over the years. He will be lovingly remembered by his numerous sisters and brothers-in-law, and his vast circle of friends and medical colleagues.
Clyde was born the sixth of ten children in Port of Spain, Trinidad. He came to Winnipeg in 1957 to pursue his studies, and this is where he met and married the love of his life Irene in 1961. He completed his medical degree in Ghent, Belgium in 1972 and completed his specialty in psychiatry in Winnipeg in 1976. He was a dedicated Psychiatrist in Winnipeg for over 30 years, providing his patients not only with sound advice but also with a part of his generous heart. He participated in clinical studies, taught psychiatry for medical students at the University of Manitoba, and authored two books, his autobiography “The Pledge”, and a clinical book about addictions, “It Takes 2 to Tango Maybe 3”. He maintained strong ties to his Trini roots, returning home to 25 Cadiz Rd annually. He enjoyed golf, tennis, jazz, calypso, Parang, travel, and getting together “liming” with friends.
The family would like to thank the amazing staff at Action Marguerite Taché Centre for the wonderful care and respect they provided for him and his family. To his friends and colleagues near and far, your support and love lift us as we cherish our memories. Cremation has taken place care of Korban Funeral Chapel.
Funeral services will be held on Friday, October 20th, at 10:00 am at Christ the King Parish, 847 St Mary’s Rd, Winnipeg, MB with refreshments to follow. Family and friends may sign a Guest Book/Condolence at www.korbanchapel.com
