<p>We are very saddened to announce the sudden but peaceful passing of Lynn Barlow on July 11, 2022, at 77 years young, in Thompson, MB.</p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p>No matter the situation, Lynn found humour in anything! She loved to find something to tease you about and would make you laugh even if it was at your own expense! She was a master at conflict diversion and sarcasm was one of her middle names!</p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p>Lynn grew up in Shoal Lake, MB. She traveled and worked in many places throughout Manitoba, met her life partner, Larry Oman in Churchill and eventually settled in Thompson to raise their daughter Anissa. She worked for many years at Manitoba Telephone Service where she eventually retired. She enjoyed her time there with “the girls” and always talked about how much fun they all had working together. Lynn was a caring and thoughtful partner, mom, grandma, and friend. One of her best attributes was her ability to provide the best advice possible, an ear to just listen or a shoulder to cry on but not letting you cry too long…she would say, “Life is to too short! Get out there and enjoy it while you can!”.</p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p>Her positive, carefree, and head strong mentality got her through kidney cancer and a heart and lung condition that should have taken her many years sooner. We were so lucky to have had this lifetime with her although we would all wish for forever together.</p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p>She is predeceased by her father Vince Barlow, mother Veronica Barlow, sister Carol Mowbray, brothers Ashley and Tony Barlow.</p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p>She is survived by her partner Larry, daughters Anissa (Ben), Marianne (Xhemajl), Marcia (Darren) and Heather, along with other much loved family members. She also leaves behind her cherished grandsons, Driton, Dexter & Edwin, whom she loved so much and was so very proud of.</p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p>We want to send a heartfelt thank you to Don and Ann-Margaret Ellsworth for all your support over these last few years. You were not just neighbours; you were guardian angels and your friendship meant everything to Lynn.</p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p>At her request, there will be no service, instead she'd like you to have a drink in her memory and trip the light fantastic!</p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p>Stay foot loose and fancy free, until we meet again! XO</p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p>In lieu of flowers, a donation can be made to the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada. https://www.heartandstroke.ca/</p>December 30, 1944 - July 11, 202212/30/194407/11/2022
