Tabitha Finlayson

TABITHA FINLAYSON

It is with great sadness we announce the passing of our daughter, sister, mother, aunt, Tabitha Alice Elizabeth Finlayson. Tabitha died unexpectedly at the age of 32 in her home on March 29, 2023. 

She was an amazing woman who had a kind soul. Her laughter was contagious and her gift-for-gab absolutely irresistible. Every time you met her, she would bless you with conversation on every topic imaginable. She had a different point of view on life and it always seemed to be optimistic. Tabitha saw the good in all people that were fortunate enough to meet her. Her ability to bead and make cultural arts and crafts was a beautiful asset to our community here in Longlake 58 First Nation. 

She leaves behind four beautiful children Tristan, Thomas, Isabella, and Tweedie-Lynn, her heart and soul. Her Mother and father, Jennifer and Lawrence Legarde. In addition to her parents, she is survived by her brother Tyler, sister Tori (Eli), partner Billy Head, Grandparents Alan and Gail Towegishig. She is predeceased by granny, Alice Towegishig, Pauline Marie Dore, and uncle Glen “Tweedy” Finlayson, aunt Hyacinthe Towegishig, and many extended family members. She will also be sadly missed by her in-laws Billy Sr. Head (Jennifer), Loretta Nelson, Courtney and family, Chelsea and family, and Bradley and family, and Bruce and family. 

Services will happen later this week. The wake is scheduled for Wednesday, April 12, 2023 at Longlake 58 Community Rec Center. Viewing for close family starts at 1pm and 2pm for the public. The funeral will be held at St. John the Baptist RC Church in Longlac on April 13, 2023 at 2pm. 

You were gone too soon Tabitha Alice Elizabeth Finlayson. Although you will be terribly missed, your life was worth every moment. Your memory will live in our hearts forever. Fly high Tabby.
