Obituary of Natasha Elizabeth Blimkie

Natasha Elizabeth Blimkie died unexpectedly on October 23rd, 2019. She was 23 years old.

While her life was much too short, she will always be remembered for her smile; a smile that lit up the room. Shy and introverted, and despite numerous difficult challenges in her life, she kept on going and throughout everything demonstrated deep care for others and was fiercely protective of her friends and family. On February 25th, 2016, she gave birth to her first child, Oliver Levi, whom she named after her friend Levi who had recently died.

Natasha will forever be remembered with love and fondness by her son, Oliver Levi McClure; her husband, Andrew McClure; her parents, Kimberley Anne Soutar and Jeffrey Francis Blimkie; her brother Carter Anthony Blimkie (and his partner, Sasha Smith), her step-father, Thomas Gohard; her grandmother, Elizabeth Eleanor Soutar (née Campbell); her aunt and uncle, Tracey and Paul Detoro, and her cousins, Brooke, Joey, and Michael; her aunt Paula Cruickshank; and her step-aunt and friend, Christine Gohard.

As we mourn the loss of Natasha, we also mourn for the child she was carrying, Aubree Lesley McClure, whom we never had a chance to meet and see grow up, and whom she named after her aunt Lesley Karen Soutar, who died four years prior and helped Natasha through difficult times.

A Memorial Visitation will be held at the Goulet Funeral Home, 310 Argyle St, S Renfrew on Wednesday October 30 from 2-4.  A Celebration of Life will follow at 4pm.  In lieu of flowers, we ask that people contribute to a trust for her son, Oliver, https://www.gofundme.com/f/for-natashas-family
