WHITNEY REECE BARHAM
October 16, 1986 September 11, 2022
Peacefully at 5:45 a.m. on Sunday morning, September 11, Whitney passed away in her mother's arms at the Health Sciences Centre in Winnipeg.
Whitney was predeceased by her grandparents, Ed and Sheila Barham and Albert and Ombra Reece; her cousin Lorri, Uncle Jerry and Uncle Buddy and Aunty Joanne.
She will be forever missed by her parents, Lance and Grace Barham, sister and best friend Jessica Barham, her brother-in-law Jeff Grondin and niece Aubrey; her fiancé Travis and his children: Logan, Connor, Ben and Isabella.
She is also survived by her many aunts, uncles and cousins. Her cousin Jayme shared a special relationship with Whitney.
Her military family was large and was a very important part of her short life.
Whitney's military career allowed her to visit 36 different countries from South America to Northern Africa and countless points in between - receiving many accolades along the way for her contributions.
After sailing the high seas for many years Whitney wanted to be closer to her family. When offered a position in Winnipeg with the military, she was happy to move back home.
More recently Whitney met Travis McNichol and his four children. Mom was Whitney's new role and something that she cherished. Filling a void in both her life and theirs.
A Service of Remembrance will be held on September 20, 2022 at 2:00 p.m. at the Teulon-Rockwood Centennial Centre in Teulon, Manitoba.

Ken Loehmer Funeral Services Teulon.

Sailed with Whitney for years on the Winnipeg, she was always so much fun and cheerful. I remember her and I chatting on the upper decks at sea, we did that fairly often when the nights in the ocean got long. We fell out of contact a few years after that but whenever we bumped into each other on base our in town we always chatted like we were still shipmates. I will miss you dearly Whitney, you made life on ship just a little bit better. - Posted by: Cody hardy (Friend) on: Sep 21, 2022

I am so sorry to hear of Whitney's passing. We were in grades 3 to 8 together and always had fun at each other's birthday parties. We met again some time ago when I was an officer cadet in the Military and she too was just starting her military career. Rest in Peace my friend. - Posted by: Samantha MacGregor (Early middle years classmate) on: Sep 20, 2022

I knew Whitney while she was in the recruiting position and we traveled together to events. We became friends and started hanging out as that and more than coworkers. I last recieved a call from her about 3 months ago and she wanted to plan a get together. We were shocked to hear her passing and her RCMP coworkers want to pass on our deepest condolences. If someone can whenever they have the time can reach out on email to us for a little closer as this was very sudden for us as well. Again our condolences to her family and finance. She will be missed. - Posted by: Theresa Daranciang (Friend) on: Sep 20, 2022

I met Whitney when she started coming to the Teulon Remembrance Day Services. Whitney always had a smile for anyone, we got to chatting and I was very impressed with her and how much she had done in her life already. Whitney was a ray so sunshine for everyone, she loved talking to the veterans I think because she could relate to them, they adored her. she always brought a tear to my eyes when she played the last post at the services. I will miss her greatly and think of her often. She will be missed by so many. My prayers and thoughts to her family. She now has new seas to sail. Go with God Whitney.

Dear Grace, Lance, Jessica and families. I can't begin to tell you how shocked and saddened we were to learn of Whitney's passing, and we can only imagine the grief you are experiencing now. Please know our thoughts are with you amid memories of horse and cutter, snowmobile, suppers and general all around fun times we had with your family, and how devoted you were to each other. Whitney's absence will leave a large hole in your lives, as well as in her new families lives, and as we all continue on with our own life, she will always be remembered for the successful young woman she became, in no small part due to your influence. We are unable to attend the Remembrance Service, but please know that we will be aware of the time, and will stop to reflect. Take good care, and stay safe.
