MOFFATT: Dorothy Moffatt, loving wife of the late George Moffatt, passed away on May 2, 2021 with her two daughters and a granddaughter by her side. Mom was born January 8, 1915. She was born to Horace and Lucy Smith and had 7 siblings. Edith, Olive, Gladys, Fred, Ken, Walter and Howard. Mom was raised at Edrans, and attended the Deer Range School, MacGregor High School and Wellwood High School. Upon completing her schooling, she met a striking young man from Firdale, George Moffatt. They married on October 5, 1935. They farmed the Moffatt Family farm in Firdale for many years. Later, they moved to Carberry. Mom was a homemaker, was a faithful church attendee, worked with the Hospital Aid and many other community projects. After Mom was diagnosed with cancer, she was active in volunteering and visiting other women who were diagnosed. She was a 40 year cancer survivor. For a few winters, they journeyed to Texas, and many more new friends were made. With Dad's ailing health, Mom and Dad moved to the Smith Building and enjoyed their time there. Mom made many good friends in the building and everyone looked after everyone else. Due to health issues, Mom moved to the Carberry Care facility. She adored the staff there and we are all thankful for the wonderful loving care she received up to her passing. Mom and Dad had two daughters: Shirley (Wayne) had 3 children, Warren (daughter Samantha, sons, Domink and Yanik), Leone (husband Kelly and two daughters, Reese and Kenzie), Dari (husband Dave and children, daughter, Caitlin and son, Johnathan). Arlene (Joe) had 3 children Lana, (Cory and son Shawn), Jamie (Brittany) and Ryan (Sabreen). Mom felt so blessed to have grandchildren, as it took a while, and to have lived long enough to have great grandchildren. If so desired, donations may be made to Carberry Palliative Care, Carberry Personal Care Home, Activity Department, or charity of your choice. Our thanks to the Carberry Care facility and White's Funeral Home for their thoughtful assistance.

Mom we will miss you,
you were such a great role model, but you are now with the love of your life
and your Lord and Maker who you served well.
"To live in hearts left behind, is not to die."
Mom, you will be living
in our hearts always.
