Date of Passing: Aug 29, 2015
Send Flowers to the Family Offer Condolences or MemoryERIN LINDSEY BATEMAN It is with great sadness that we announce the sudden passing of Erin Lindsey Bateman on August 29, 2015. She was 38 years old. Erin was a devoted and amazing mother, fiercely proud sister and best friend to her parents. Erin left behind her parents, Neil and Frieda Bateman. Brother; sister-in-law and nephew, Kyler, Carey and Sevren Bateman. Cousins Chris, Angie and Tyson Bateman; Jeff and Charissa Bateman. Aunts and Uncles, Rennie and Ron Bobby; Deb and Manfred Rehm. Oma, Elisabeth Rehm. Most of all, Erin is leaving behind her beautiful 10 year old daughter, Elisabeth (Munchy) Sabourin. Erin and Elisabeth were loved and supported by Jean-Pierre and the entire Sabourin family. Erin was one of the biggest movie buffs on the planet. If she wasn't watching a movie, she could be found reading one of a thousand books or listening to music. Erin was like an encyclopedia when it came to movie trivia, actors names and quoting her favorite novels. Erin loved spending time at cabins and in the outdoors. She loved being in water and swimming in Manitoba/Ontario lakes. She was passionate about the Earth's oceans and all the marine life in them, from dolphins and whales to sea lions. Erin and Elisabeth loved spending time with their family and could be found at Neil and Frieda's for supper on regular occasions. In Erin's passing, she saved and improved the lives of many people by donating her corneas, heart valves, bone marrow, and tissue. There is a trust fund being established for Elisabeth. For further information, please contact the Bateman family. A Memorial Service will be held on Friday, September 11, 2015 at 1:00 p.m. at Cropo Funeral Chapel, 1442 Main Street, 204-586-8044

I met Erin about a year ago, it was during a sad time in my life, and she put a smile on my face and we became pretty good friends. Funny smart, and willing to listen, she helped me a lot. I only just heard and it breaks my heart for her family. She was a wonderful woman, and such a doting mother, and I wish I could tell her what she meant to me. Take care. - Posted by: Jeff (Friend) on: Sep 14, 2015

My heart sunk when i came across the fundraising page for Elisabeth yesterday. I cannot imagine the suffering your close knit family is going through. Although it was brief and many years ago...my memories of Erin are as a woman with a great laugh, a committed mother, and a compassionate and caring person. Elisabeth is so fortunate to have the support and love of both families. May healing happen over time. - Posted by: Renee Friesen () on: Sep 11, 2015
