May 26, 1948 – June 20, 2025
It’s with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of our beloved Mother and Grandma Nanny, Judith Lawren (Oliver) Tindall, on June 20, 2025 at the age of 77.
Born in Brandon, Manitoba, on May 26, 1948, to Alvin and Margaret Oliver. Judy grew up in Fairview District with her younger brother Warren Oliver, just north of Carberry, Manitoba. It was there she built lifelong friendships and a deep love for her community that shaped her strong spirit and kind heart. On October 21, 1967, she married her high school sweetheart, Glenn Tindall, and together they began their life in Brandon before settling back in Carberry, where they built their family home and raised their two children Klay Tindall born August 7, 1973 and Vanessa (Tindall) Thompson born January 4, 1978.
Judy was a devoted wife, mother, and grandmother whose love for her family knew no bounds. She supported her children’s every game, performance, and school event with pride and enthusiasm. Whether she was cheering from the sidelines, helping behind the scenes, Judy gave her time and energy with happiness.
She found special joy in her role as a grandmother- Grandma Judy & Nanny were the special names given to her by her greatest blessings. Her grandchildren—Eli Tindall (2000), Gage Tindall (2001), Autumn Thompson (2002), Jaida Thompson (2005), Daisy Tindall (2005), and Darner Tindall (2008)—were the light of her life. From sleepovers and water park adventures to cheering at their games, she cherished every moment she spent with them. The memories she created with her grandchildren will be treasured forever.
Judy had many passions that filled her days with meaning and purpose. She was an avid gardener, a lover of puzzles and crosswords, and enjoyed painting, watching curling and football, and singing in the church choir. She gave countless hours volunteering with Pool Sharks and Exit Stage Left, where her enthusiasm and warmth touched many lives. She also enjoyed traveling and exploring new places.
Judy will be remembered for her kindness, quiet strength, the way she made everyone feel, whether through a warm conversation, thoughtful unwavering support, or a big hug will remain with them always. She will be deeply missed and lovingly remembered by her family and friends.
A celebration of Judy’s life will be held on Monday, June 30 2025 at 2pm at the Carberry United Church. A reception to follow at Clyde McCallum’s Home at 86043 Road 57N Carberry.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Heart & Stroke Foundation in Judy’s memory.
