ELINOR MOEN
(NEE WALKER)
SEPTEMBER 25, 1918 –AUGUST 26, 2018
After living an incredible life of almost 100 years of dignity, strength, grace and tremendous love of her family, our beloved Mom and Grandmother passed away peacefully at Concordia Place Personal Care Home on August 26th, 2018, surrounded by her family.
Elinor was born on September 25th, 1918 and spent her formative years on a farm near Kamsack, Saskatchewan. Upon completing High School in Kamsack, she came to Winnipeg to attend Teacher’s Normal School. She taught school over a span of 33 years in the Dover and Ainse School Districts with the last 18 years in Frontenac School in St. Boniface being one of the first Resource Teachers in the School Division. She retired in 1978.
Elinor leaves behind a legacy to carry on her sprit and strength in her daughters Audrey Shmigelsky (Robert) and Lenore Diduch, as well as six Grandchildren, Lorie Shmigelsky (Denis Desautels), Lynda Rehberg (Harry), Janet Krilyk (Jamie), Jaylene Schroeder (Bruce), Rod Diduch (CHarlynne), Lisa Nagtegaal (Beshier), 14 Great-Grandchildren, 2 Great-Great Grandchildren, whom she loved unconditionally.
She is predeceased by her husband, Harry, (1971); parents, Melvin and Bessie Walker; brothers Harvey (Vernice) and Ken (Alice) and son-in-law Gary Diduch.
The void left in our lives by Mom’s passing will never be filled, but we are so thankful and happy to have had such a caring and wonderful Mom. Our dearest Mom, farewell, rest in peace, we all love you.
Sincere thanks to the Nurses, Caregivers and many Volunteers, as well as Chaplain Gerry Derksen at Concordia Place for the excellent care Mom received over the last five years.
A Memorial Service will be held on Friday, August 31st, 2018 at 10:00 AM at Klassen Funeral Home.
