Deceased Manitoba family identified in obituary, remembered as beautiful souls – Winnipeg Free Press

KARMAN, man. – A mother, her three young children, including a two-month-old daughter, and a teenage family member killed in Manitoba have been remembered as beautiful souls.

The obituary identified the victims as Amanda Clearwater, her children Bethany, Jayven and Isabella Manoakisik and her niece Maya-Lee Gratton.

Family and friends also took to social media to share the family's stories, calling their deaths “tragic, unimaginable and terrifying.”
