Flora HUNTER-RENAUD

1923 - 2022

FLORA HUNTER-RENAUD (née Moffat) May 18, 1923 Weston, Ontario - January 4, 2022, Guelph, Ontario Flora passed away peacefully in her 99th year and will be remembered as a kind and loving mother to her children Murray (Monika) Hunter, Christine (Dan) Roberge, John (Amy) Hunter, and Carol (Mark) Hunter. Flora is survived by her six grandchildren, Corey, Kristina, Kevin, Harold, Katie, and Sarah, as well as her great-grandchild Rose. She is also survived by her sister Carol and predeceased by her brother Robert. Flora was born in Weston to Gordon and Olive Moffat and was the first grandchild of John King Moffat, President of the Moffat Stove Company. She spent her childhood in Rogers City, Michigan, where her father Gordon served as a public health doctor and a vocal champion for vaccination (a memory that Flora shared often during the Covid pandemic). Flora graduated from Havergal College in Toronto and completed her Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of Toronto where she was awarded the Golden Key. Flora then taught at Havergal until she started raising her family with her husband Murray Hunter in 1949. Flora returned to teaching in 1968 and was a guidance counsellor at George Vanier Secondary School in Toronto until 1987. It was at that time she renewed a university romance with Hugh Renaud, married Hugh in 1988 and moved to Bracebridge. Hugh is survived by his children Patricia, Craig, and Toni. Flora will be remembered for her intellectual curiosity and strong Christian values as well as her laughter and love of extended family and close friends. She inspired us all through her hard work and dedication, always looking for the best in people. The family wish to thank the staff of Arbour Trails in Guelph for their care of our mother for the past eight years as well as the staff at Hospice Wellington where Mom spent her last days. A private burial with immediate family will take place at Riverside Cemetery in Weston. A memorial page will be posted on the Ward Funeral Home website, and a celebration of life will be held at a later date.
