MOIR: We regret to announce the passing of Marion Margaret Elaine Moir at the St. Boniface Hospital, Winnipeg, on Monday, September 21, 2015. Born January 6, 1936 in Hants County, Nova Scotia to Carl and Muriel (Lynch) Faulkner, Marion, with her brothers and sisters, was orphaned at a young age. After a few false starts, she was taken in by the Hatfield family to whom we will always be grateful. An extraordinarily caring person, it’s not surprising that Marion found her calling as a nurse. She trained at the Victoria General Hospital in Halifax, where many lifelong friendships were formed, and eventually made her way to Toronto’s Sunnybrook Hospital for more training and then to the Brandon Mental Health Centre for even more training. She was always very proud to be a nurse and won many good memories and accomplishments over the years through this work. Marion was also committed to her community and causes, campaigning tirelessly for the Canadian Cancer Society after the loss of her sister Vivian. While training in Brandon, Marion met her husband-to-be, Stuart Moir. They were married for 54 years. Stuart predeceased Marion last year, in November. Marion had two sons – Kirk and Jeff. Kirk’s family lives in New Westminster, BC, and is made up of his wife Shammi and two boys, Mitchell and Russell. Jeff lives in Toronto with his wife Judy and two children, Gillian and Robert. Marion will be deeply missed. A family ceremony will take place in Minnedosa on Saturday, September 26, 2015. Flowers are gratefully declined. If friends so desire, donations in memory of Marion may be made to the Canadian Diabetes Association, Unit A1- 800 Rosser Avenue, Brandon, MB R7A 6N5.
