VIVIAN FELICIA MOORE
With great sorrow we announce the passing of Vivian Moore - most remarkable wife, mother, grandmother, sister and friend after a brief battle with cancer.
She leaves behind to cherish her legacy - her loving husband Gordon; daughters, Caryn Barr (David) and Jaime-Dawn Bird; stepsons, Christopher and Michael Moore; favourite grandsons, Brendan Barr, Dillon Barr, Jeffrey Boonstra and Matthew Boonstra; brother Murray Blair (Marcia) and sister-in-law Brenda Blair.
She was predeceased by her parents, Earl and Victoria Blair; brothers, Robert and Clifton.
Vivian grew up in East Kildonan, attending Salisbury Munroe Jr. High, and Miles Mac, loved school and knew in Grade 1 that she wanted to teach in elementary school. She spent 30 years teaching in RETSD. School was her happy place and she enjoyed every student she taught.
In 1997 Vivian met Gordon and they married in 2001. She told everyone that she had met “a nice man”; their favourite song was “Keeper of the Stars”. Their marriage was a truly happy marriage - nary a cross word and usually on the same page.
When Vivian retired, they did some travelling but her favourite place was their timeshare at Elkhorn Resort in Riding Mountain National Park. They always spent a week there each June and September (when the autumn leaves were glorious).
She believed, “Take it one day at a time and pray for guidance”.
A funeral service will be held at 11:00 a.m. on January 10, 2026, at Grace Lutheran Church, 211 Kimberly Ave.
Special thanks to the palliative care staff at Riverview for their care and compassion.
In lieu of flowers a donation may be made to Manitoba Heart and Stroke or CancerCare Manitoba.
