Amanda Lathlin

Amanda Lathlin, beloved mother, sister, daughter, and friend, passed away peacefully on March 24, 2026, surrounded by her loving family. Born on July 17, 1976, Amanda was a vibrant soul whose warmth and compassion touched everyone she met. She had a remarkable gift for making people feel seen and valued, whether she was advocating for her community or sharing a laugh with friends over coffee. As a mother, Amanda was everything you could hope for—patient, encouraging, and fiercely protective of her children. She filled their lives with bedtime stories, impromptu dance parties in the kitchen, and endless support for their dreams. Her siblings remember her as the glue that held the family together, always the first to organize reunions and the last to leave the party. Amanda's home was a gathering place, where the coffee was always hot, the door was always open, and there was always room for one more at the table. Amanda's passion for public service was matched only by her love for her community. First elected to the Manitoba Legislature in 2015, she worked tirelessly to improve the lives of her constituents in The Pas-Kameesak. But beyond politics, Amanda found joy in the simple pleasures of life—gardening in her backyard, where she grew the most beautiful roses, volunteering at the local food bank, and teaching her grandchildren how to make her famous bannock. She had a laugh that could light up a room and a way of listening that made you feel like you were the only person in the world. Those who knew Amanda will remember her for her unwavering kindness, her quick wit, and her ability to find beauty in everyday moments. She believed deeply in the power of community and the importance of lifting others up. Amanda's legacy lives on in the lives she touched, the policies she championed, and the love she shared so freely. She will be profoundly missed but never forgotten.
