It is with profound sorrow that we share the news of Doug Manwell's peaceful passing. Doug departed this world on Wednesday November 27, 2024, at the Arnprior and District Memorial Hospital, at the age of 81. He was preceded in death by his beloved wife, Rita Holgate, and stepdaughter, Jacqueline Michele Ethier (John Kingsbury). He leaves behind to cherish his memory his granddaughter, Chantale Ethier, and great-grandson, Robert Ethier, who were the light of his later years, his brothers, Boyd and Frank Manwell, and sister, Donna Manwell. He was the son of the late Russell and Leona (Weckworth) Manwell. Doug was a craftsman at heart, having devoted his life to the meticulous art of home construction. His legacy stands firm in White Lake, where he built his own home, exemplifying his unparalleled attention to detail and craftsmanship. He will be fondly remembered and deeply missed by his long-time friends, Roy and his spouse, along with their children, who always admired his storytelling and his knack for fixing anything with just a few tools. Doug's arrangements have been entrusted to the Boyce Funeral Home Ltd., located at 138 Daniel Street N., Arnprior. Contributions in Doug's memory can be made to Arnprior Regional Health Foundation, supporting the care they provided to him and many others.
