Sophia "Lynn" Moffat

S. Lynn Moffat of Minnedosa passed away February 20/2022 at Brandon General Hospital at the age of 59 years. Lynn was born in Hamiota to parent Albert (Ab) and Cathy Airey.  Lynn and younger brother Darryl grew up in the Cardale/Kenton area. Lynn’s first marriage was to John Skoglund, with whom she farmed in the Cardale area. They had one child together, Carla. Lynn and John divorced, and she later met and, on Nov. 17/1989 married, her husband of 33 years Clint Moffat. Clint and Lynn had 3 children together.  Two boys, Kyle in 1988 and Brook in 1991, as well as daughter Darcy in 1993. Although, if you asked her, she actually had 5 children as she always included beloved dogs Duke and Bluebelle. 

Lynn worked at various office jobs and after marrying Clint, worked a multitude of positions in both Moffat Brothers, and Clint Moffat and Sons. Among her many titles between the two companies included: truck driver, equipment operator, foreman, bookkeeper, safety officer, and general manager.  Although any that knew her, knew that she always did so much more than that. As General Manager she was very knowledgeable at her position, and was very well known by clients and vendors, although it was often joked that her main duty was “personnel management” between her husband and two sons.

  Outside of work, Lynn loved spending time with her family and friends, enjoying nothing more than entertaining when the kids, grandkids, or friends came out to spend time there. Lynn also loved animals, with her parents owning a petting farm, Lynn followed in their footsteps owning an array of animals including dogs, cats, horses, mini horses, and even a goat.

Lynn was predeceased by her parents Albert and Catherine Airey, her mother and father in-law John and Alice Moffat, as well as by infant daughter Darcy at birth.

Lynn is survived by her husband, Clint Moffat; daughter Carla Skoglund (Trent Tingey) and their children Rhein, Zenlei, and Zhae; sons Kyle and Brook Moffat; and brother Darryl Airey and his children Jesse, Jourdan, and Jachin.
