Moira ORMISTON Obituary
Moira Ann Ormiston (Dewar)
1941-2024
The family of Moira Ormiston sadly announces her passing. She passed away peacefully on Sunday September 15th, 2024 at Dufferin Place, Nanaimo B.C., at the age of 83.
Moira leaves to cherish her memory her daughters, Shannon (Les) Kehler of Steinbach, MB., their children Scott and Ryan (Leah) and Susan Ormiston (Geoff) of Nanaimo, B.C., her daughter Jessica.
She is survived by one brother Malcom Dewar (Catherine) of Winnipeg, MB., and close friend Keith of Nanaimo B.C.
Moira was predeceased by her husband Doug Ormiston, her parents Gordon and Gladys Dewar, son Patrick Ormiston and her furry best friend of 13 yrs Sadie.
Moira was born on April 23, 1941 in Carmen, MB. Shortly after high school, she married Doug and moved to Flin Flon, MB in 1960, where they raised their three children and lived for 46 yrs. Retirement sparked a move to West Kelowna, B.C. in 2006, along with many winters in Mesa, Arizona.
Moira was a talented creative soul, a hippy at heart. She excelled at piano, quilting, sewing, pottery, tole painting, basket weaving and most hobbies she attempted. She always had a thirst for learning, was an avid reader and loved tinkering in the flower beds.
In the summer of 2022, mom moved from West Kelowna to a wonderful assisted living home in Nanaimo, B.C. where she met many new and special friends.
Moira passed away peacefully after a brief battle with cancer.
As per Moira’s wishes, cremation has taken place and a private family celebration will be held at a later date.
If so desired, in lieu of flowers you could make a donation to a cancer or pet rescue organization of your choice.
