ELINOR MOEN (WALKER)

Condolences & Memories (8 entries)

• Mes Moen was definitley one of the biggest influences in my young life and I have never forgotten her. She was my grade three teacher at Frontenac school in the early sixties. She would read us the most amazing books and leave us hanging for the next instalment! I still remember those adventure stories so clearly because she really took care to keep us interested. I had a memory recently of her bundling me up in a very thin yellow coat and saying “ Is this the only coat you have? You’ll freeze to death!” As she had to send me home in a real blizzard. It wasn’t until fairly recently that I connected that memory with the wonderful brand new wool plaid coat with the fleece lining that my parents bought me. Being from a large family I was so used to hand me downs that I was shocked to get such a lovely warm winter coat. I just confirmed with an elder sister today that indeed, Mrs. Moen had phoned my parents about the coat I was wearing. Reliving that old memory made me check to see if she was still alive to thank. I am doing that here. Such wonderful memories of such a fine person. So sorry I left this attempt to find her and thank her too late. - Posted by: Christine Marie Hawkes (Student) on: Jun 21, 2022

• Elinor Moen was such an incredible woman who I had the pleasure of spending 4 years with. She ALWAYS had a smile on her face and always made visitors feel welcome. I would bring her hot chocolate each evening I worked with her and she was always so appreciative. She will definitely be missed. - Posted by: Jeffrey (Nurse) on: Aug 29, 2018

• My memories of Mrs. Moen are being one of her students at Dover school and recall the wonderful potato salad she would bring in a jar for lunch and if one of us students forgot to bring a lunch she would always share some of her salad. I remember the Christmas concerts that we had and she worked so hard with us to make the event right. My sincere condolences to all her family and may she rest in peace. - Posted by: Janet Dusolt (Tysoski) (former student) on: Aug 29, 2018

• This is my very first teacher 1957, I often thought of this magnificent lady. The family is in my thoughts at this difficult time. She would have remembered my dad who also has passed on May 6th at the age of 98. I was very young but still remember this wonderful lady. Memories will be the greatest for the family, as I have experiences in the last few years. - Posted by: Mavis (Aarhus) Druzyk (Student in Dover) on: Aug 29, 2018
