Mrs. Mavis Moon

March 4, 1951 - August 4, 2019

Mavis Moon passed on suddenly and peacefully in her home on August 4th, 2019 at the age of 68 years. The matriarch of her family, a beloved wife, mother, granny, sister, aunt, and cousin, she is survived by her husband Gordon; by children Katie Zebedee (Patrick), Tana Stratton, Steve Moon (Kait), Jenn Moon (Ty), and their families.She will be dearly missed by her brothers Dave Loree (Cindi) and Lance Loree (Toby), and a close network of extended family and friends. Mavis was predeceased by her parents Bill and Con Loree, sister Linda Loree, and nephew Nathan Hornburg. Born and raised on the historic homeplace at Nanton, AB, Mavis left home to attend the University of Calgary and spent years travelling the world before returning to ranch alongside her father, eventually taking over the reins of the Midway Ranch. Mavis was happiest in her garden. Horseback in the hills she was at home. The cows she knew by name and the dogs who were her constant companions shaped her days, but it was her role as Granny that most recently filled her heart. In Gord she had a partner for work and play. They made time to travel, enjoyed live music, and never missed a chance to dance. Their home was a place where all were welcomed and there was always room for one more at the table. Mavis was a force. Intimidating, inspiring, a source of strength, wisdom and dry wit, she is deeply missed. A Celebration of Mavis' Life was held on Friday, August 9th at 2:00 p.m. at the Bomber Command Museum 1659 - 21 Avenue / Hwy #2 South, Nanton, AB.
