Meta Moore Obituary
MOORE, Meta Grace 1916 - 2010 After a full and wonderful life we are sad to announce the passing of our devoted mother and generous Nana. She died peacefully, September 21st, with her family at her side. Having just celebrated her 94th birthday, she had been a resident in Long Term Care for the past 3 years. Previously she had spent her formative and schooling years in Vancouver, her birth place. After the war in 1945, she resided in West Vancouver. She was an established citizen of West Vancouver. Subsequent to working in her fathers' business as receptionist bookkeeper, she married and became a dedicated homemaker. Predeceased by husbands, J.D. McCaughey Donald 1969 and C.D. Moore Charles 2007; and by her sister E. W. Sharp Nonie in 2007. Survived by her daughter, Grace Lynn of Victoria and son J. Barton (Barbara) of Edmonton; Stepsons Douglas Moore (Lydia) of Vancouver, Robert Moore of Victoria and stepdaughter Kathy Blacoe (David) also of Victoria; five grandchildren David (Nancy) of Bainbridge Is. Wa., Michael (Magda) of Edmonton; Julianne of Singapore, Carolynne (Daniel) of Edmonton and Devon of Victoria; Step grandchildren Colin, Stuart, Eric, Jenica, Kyla and Ryan and nieces, nephews and cousins. As a doting mother and loving wife her strong family values were reflected in her home; with flair in decor, and a keen eye toward fashion. She enjoyed all experiences and things beautiful with vigour; flower arranging, pottery classes, interior decorating and getting together with close friends. Meta was a faithful and active member in various capacities with West Vancouver United Church and a volunteer in her community. Our family extends warmest heartfelt thanks to all the staff at Capilano Care Centre who provided comfort, care and dignity to her always. A celebration of Homecoming will be held at West Vancouver United Church, 2062 Esquimalt Ave., W. Vancouver, B.C., V7V 1S4, (604) 922-9171 - Wednesday, November 3rd at 2:00 p.m. followed by a reception and refreshments in her honour. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to first United Church Mission 320 Hastings Street E., Vancouver, V6A 1P4.

When my family and I emigrated from South Africa to West Vancouver over 20 years ago, Meta was such a warm person to us and made us feel at home with our new Church family. She was a very special person and we will always remember her.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you at tis time. Meta was a great friend to both Syd and myself. We had many wonderful discussions about church life and her family. We cherished our visits with her at the nursing home.

To Bart, Barb, Lynn and families.
So sorry to hear of your loss. I hope you take comfort in knowing how proud your Mom/Nana was of her family. She spoke of you all with such joy.
My thoughts are with you.
