LORI DEBBY BLATCH

Peacefully, after a courageous battle with cancer; it is with deep regret that we announce the death of Lori Debby Blatch. On Saturday, April 25, 2026, at the Women’s Hospital in Winnipeg, Manitoba at the age of 51 years. She is survived by her spouse Andre Waldner Sr of 27 years together, her two sons Andre Jr and Silas, mother Pat Neiser, sisters Tricia, Tina, Vicki; brothers Albert, Brad, Dylan; nieces Amber, Amy, Angel; great nieces Trinity, Hazel and Sabreena; nephews Tristan, Grayson, James, Austin and Slater; cousins Cheyanne and Kolten. She is predeceased by her Father Allan Albert Blatch.

Lori was such an amazing mother, sister, aunty, wife and friend. She loved to cook, bake, spend time with her boys and she was the best stay at home mom. Lori loved watching movies and spending time with family.

Lori always had such beautiful long hair and nails but she shined from within – so sweet and always caring for her family. She loved to journal and write everything down. She attended University studying social work.

Lori had such a great sense of humour and adventure… more of a daytripper with loved ones going to the movies and concerts, heading out the lake and sharing conversation around a fire. In her younger days she was often with her best friend Melissa.

She enjoyed thrift shopping and long conversations on the phone with her mother. Family was always the most important part of Lori’s life.

Her funeral service will be at the Polish Manor at 300 Selkirk Avenue on Wednesday, May 6 at 2 pm.

Thank you to our family and friends for all your support and love. Lori felt that love and it will forever remain a part of her story.
