Official obituary of

Coreen Kathleen Jeanne (Gilliard) Moman

October 20, 1962 – May 11, 2024

Coreen K. Moman passed away peacefully during the early morning hours of May 11th surrounded by loved ones, leaving behind cherished memories and a legacy of love and kindness.

Coreen was born in Calgary, AB on October 20, 1962 to Daniel and Sandra Gilliard. She spent her childhood on a farm near the small community of Pipestone, MB. She later moved to Portage la Prairie where she met her beloved husband, Rob. Their friendship grew as they worked together at the Westward Village Inn, and not long after, they were married on October 27, 1984. Sadly, just one year after their wedding, Coreen lost her mom Sandy. Inspired by her mother, she quickly stepped in to be the rock for her family. Coreen and Rob wanted to have a family of their own and became proud parents of Alexie and Keesha. Their decision to settle in Neepawa in 1991 marked the beginning of a life filled with love, laughter, and shared adventures.

A nurturing spirit, Coreen exemplified the essence of caregiving. She touched the lives of many with her warmth and compassion as she ran a home daycare for over 20 years, cared for elderly with additional needs, and provided respite for families. Over those years, she also assisted Rob in managing his business, and her organized nature made handling the accounting particularly fulfilling. Eventually, Rob and Coreen went on to open and operate This N That Mfg for nearly 20 years, where she built many relationships with staff and customers. She was described by many as a caring and compassionate person, who always had time to talk and lend an ear. Coreen's devotion extended beyond her professional life; she found joy in building meaningful relationships and caring for others, embodying the values of kindness and selflessness. Building on these qualities, she was also a woman of deep faith, Coreen found solace and strength in her devotion to Jehovah. Her faith brought her comfort, joy, and the best hope, especially during her battle with cancer.

Following in the footsteps of the bond she shared with her own mother, Coreen found immense joy in the love and bond she shared with her daughters and best friends, Alexie and Keesha. Witnessing her daughters blossom into loving wives brought her immeasurable happiness. Blake and Alexie blessed Coreen with two precious grandchildren, Allie and Luke, who lovingly referred to her as "Nana." She would never hesitate to tell her children, their husbands, and her grandchildren how proud she was of them. Coreen loved spending time with her family and her husband, Rob. Together, they embarked on countless fishing trips, creating many cherished memories. Just 10 days before her passing, Coreen enjoyed one last fishing excursion with her beloved family, a testament to her unwavering spirit and love for life.

Coreen leaves behind her husband of nearly 40 years, Robert Moman, her children Keesha (Zach) Teneycke, Alexie (Blake) Mauthe, and her grandchildren Allie and Luke. Her stepmother

June, four siblings Dana, Max, Tracy, and the youngest one Wade whom she affectionately nicknamed "Speed." Also, many nieces and nephews, friends, colleagues, and the many daycare children she cared for.

In every aspect of her life, Coreen exemplified love, kindness, and compassion. Her legacy will live on in the hearts of all who had the privilege of knowing her, and her memory will continue to inspire acts of love and kindness for generations to come.

The family would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to all the staff at the Neepawa Health Centre for their care and kindness.
