Janet MOFFAT Obituary
JANET LORRAINE MIKLAS MOFFAT��
September 19, 1962 - December 16, 2019�
Janet Lorraine Miklas Moffat passed away on December 16, 2019, at home peacefully, and surrounded by her adoring family.
Janet was born and raised happily in Thornhill, with three older, protective and loving brothers. She attended and graduated from Loretto Abbey in 1982, followed by Queen's University, University of Toronto Bachelor of Education, and Association Montessori International. Sports were a big part of her life from a young age, actively participating in figure skating, competitive and recreational tennis, skiing, and golf. She was a much sought-after golf partner for all events, and even managed to play at a family Thanksgiving tournament in mid-October (which she won!). She thoroughly enjoyed her friendships and activities at the Granite Club, Rosedale Golf Club, and the Windermere Golf and Country Club in Muskoka.
Janet's ultimate joy was her role as mother to four children, to which she dedicated her energy and love unconditionally. She routinely attended and supported the children's education, hockey, skiing, basketball, tennis, dance, music, and frequent breaks to the local ice cream store. Among her happiest times were summers spent with her family at her cottage on the Miklas property in Muskoka, surrounded by close friends, and easy access to all the activities she loved.
Janet will forever be remembered by her beloved husband, Stephen Moffat, and her four children, James, Jake, Ryan and Elizabeth. Other members of the household include faithful friend, Marjorie, and Janet's affectionate canine shadow, Poppi.
She is survived by her loving parents, Anne and Dusty Miklas; and three brothers, Greg (Linda), Brian and Paul (Holly). Also her nieces and nephews, Andrew (Erin), Jason, David (Kate), Sarah, Laura, Adam and Mathew. Predeceased by her niece, Ashley in 2018.
Janet was the cherished daughter-in-law to John and Dolores Moffat. Sister-in-law of Lorie Wasylyshyn (Bob), Tinti Moffat, John Moffat (Paula), Mike Moffat (Nikki), and Robert Moffat (Vicki), as well as eleven nieces and nephews, Adam, Robbie, Kelly, and Mark, Heather Alexander (Charlie), Laura, and Greg (Jamie), Karina, Nick, Robyn and Tom, and one grandniece, Emelia Alexander.
Stewart, her cherished friend and co-founder of Manor Montessori School in Toronto. She was enormously proud of the creation of the school in 1994, its teachers, its commitment to quality education, and of the children attending.

Deepest condolences from the Kucan Family in Burlington ,Ontario. I shed a few tears this morning remembering Janet . I'm thinking about Steve, his children. I know he'll be surrounded by the Moffat and Miklas family like a coat of armor. No worries there.
I remember meeting Janet for the first time. Yes, a golf outing . She is in my foursome and i had no idea who she was. A little small talk and now it's time to play- she hits one perfect shot after another- making everything from everywhere-who is this lady?
I said to myself - I know the perfect guy for you!! and yes , that was the beginning of Steve and Janet. Fate? God ? all of the above- it just was meant to me.
She had a great laugh and I've heard that voice the last few days- "Johnny, what are you saying? Your a nut" !!!
And then her laugh.
Good memory - Thanks Janet.
