1949-2026

I lost my love, my best friend and my riding buddy on March 15, 2026 due to cancer.

Lizzie was born in Montreal on June 14, 1949 and was predeceased by her parents Ethel and J. Albert Ireland. She was also predeceased by her brother-in-law, Alan Knopp.

She is survived by Patrick “Pat” Mann, her loving husband of 42 years along with her sons Paul and Paddy Ireland.

She is also survived by her sisters-in-law Katherine “Muff” Hoodspith (Chris) and Keren Mann-Knopp and brother-in-law Craig “Boo” Mann (Nancy) and 12 nieces and nephews and 12 great nieces and great nephews.

Lizzie had an artistic soul and was an accomplished artist and musician.

She also had an adventurous spirit and together we rode over 300,000 kilometres in about 20 years on our motorcycle. We had many adventures through northern New England and Atlantic Canada where we had many adventures discovering new roads and meeting new people.

She loved being near the sea and wanted to live there full time so after retiring from work in the medical field, in 2012 we moved to Saint Andrews, NB, not knowing a soul there.

She thrived in Saint Andrews, quickly getting involved in the community. It didn’t take long for her to join a local ladies’ exercise program where built many friendships and came to see the older ladies her “role models”.

At her request there will be no funeral.

The family would like to sincerely thank the staff at the Charlotte County Hospital for the compassionate care she received. We would especially like to thank the nurses in the Oncology Unit for the excellent care, support and love we received throughout Lizzie’s multi-year battle.
