Throughout her career, Elizabeth worked as a nurse, real estate agent and created a residential and commercial development firm, eventually owning and operating hotels in several cities in Manitoba.
\n
\n<\/p>\n

One of Elizabeth\u2019s many passions was country music. She opened a country music room at The Down\u2019s Hotel in Winnipeg which was affectionately dubbed, \u201cMa\u2019s Corral\u201d in recognition of her loyal support and mentorship of Manitoba-based country music performers. A second venue, Trails West Inn located in Brandon has long been managed by her daughter, Heidi Howarth.

\n
\n<\/p>\n

In 1985, popular country artist Errol Ranville and his C-Weed Band paid homage to \u201cMa\u201d Henning\u2019s support with the album, Live at Ma\u2019s (Hawk Records) recorded at \u201cMa\u2019s Corral\u201d at the Downs Hotel.
\n
\n<\/p>\n

Elizabeth \u201cMa\u201d Henning was a director for the Canadian Country Music Association for many years and was named CCMA President in 1985-1986. In 1986 she spearheaded the first televised production of the Canadian Country Music Awards aired on Global TV.
