CARLA EDITH MOORE On Saturday, October 11, 2014, just moments after the sun rose, Carla Edith Moore passed away peacefully at St. Boniface Hospital after a brief illness. She will be greatly missed by her daughters, Jennifer and Alexandra Rattray, Jennifer's husband, Stacy Dainard, and Carla's beloved grandson, Tristan Dainard, as well as her many friends from school, church, work and travels. Carla lived life with enthusiasm and an energy that would tire those half her age. She participated fully in the community of the First Unitarian Universalist Church of Winnipeg, and in retirement volunteered with Winnipeg Harvest, Prairie Theatre Exchange, and the Fringe Festival. Carla enjoyed her walking club, sushi nights, the opera and theatre, and often said she did not know how she had ever managed to fit in work as there was so much to do in retirement. In 2003, Carla discovered a new joy when she became a grandmother, and it was a role in which she excelled. Carla was a proud member of Peepeekisis First Nation with roots in Fisher River, Norway House and Oxford House, and she was equally proud of her Scottish heritage. She was born in 1935 in British Columbia, the only child of Kenneth Strath Moore and Edith Mae McDougall, and she lived there briefly before her family returned to Winnipeg where she attended Laura Secord School and St. Mary's Academy. At St. Mary's Carla met a group of women who remained friends and who in recent years became her book club compatriots. Carla married and spent the 1960s in the United States where she became engaged in politics, civil rights and feminism. Through hard work she became a successful art curator, curating one of the first exhibitions of pop artist Roy Lichtenstein. When the family returned to Canada, and once her children were in school, Carla's love of books led her to earn a diploma in Library Technology from Red River College. She joined the City of Winnipeg as a reference librarian, and then Pitblado and Hoskin law firm where she spent more than a decade as a legal librarian, again collecting lifelong friends. When she was in her 50s, working full time and raising her daughters and a much adored Welsh Corgi, she began a degree at The University of Winnipeg, and graduated in 2000. Carla loved the university and its professors; she was inspired by her young, bright campus colleagues and made many new friends. Carla loved adventure and in addition to her decade in New England, she spent time in Edinburgh, Scotland, and Melbourne, Australia and made sure her family took the train across Canada to fully appreciate the land. She travelled to New Zealand, Tahiti, Europe, and embarked on a journey to Iceland just last year among many other trips. The excitement of adventure could never overshadow a special gift she gave to her grandson and her family: a trip to Disney World to celebrate her 75th birthday. Carla's family would like to extend their deep appreciation to the paramedics and the incredible staff of St. Boniface Hospital Emergency department and 4B. Your compassion and care for Carla and all of the patients on the ward was truly remarkable to witness. Thank you for letting us fill the room with friends, and for setting up a cot so we could be with mom around the clock. Carla was a strong believer in the power of education and the difference it made in her life; if friends so desire, donations may be made to The Carla Moore Award through The University of Winnipeg Foundation at 204.786.9995 or 1.866.394.6050. The annual endowed award supports an Indigenous student in financial need at the university. A celebration of Carla's life will take place on Saturday, October 18, 2014 at 2:00 p.m. at the First Unitarian Universalist Church, 603 Wellington Crescent.
