Moira Elizabeth Shakour

Moira was born in Vancouver on February 26, 1954, to Theodore and Joyce Seeberg and passed away peacefully on October 14, 2022, at the Lions Gate Hospice.

She is survived by her husband Robert, her brother Ted (Sylvia), her cousins Renata, Valerie, George (Anita), her sister-in-law Marina (Lenny), and her brothers-in-law John (Elise) and Richard (Karen), and her nieces Celine, Jackie, Ariel, Larissa, Rebecca, and Isabella and her nephew Darius. She is predeceased by her brothers Charlie and Andrei, cousin Robert as well as her nephew Sol.

Moira graduated from the University of BC with a bachelor’s degree in anthropology which she never pursued. Instead, she followed her heart and lived her life’s purpose — being in service to the greater good of all those she knew and loved as well as those who she assisted throughout her diverse and interesting career. Although private herself, Moira always had time to care for and listen to others in their moment of need. Her essence of being was one of selflessness, empathy, benevolence, and unconditional love.

In 1981, Moira met Robert—the love of her life—at a bridal party given for her soul-sister Pamela Wright by her other soul-sister, Marina Shakour. It was love at first sight! They were married for 40 wonderful years. They supported and uplifted each other through the good, the bad and the sad times. Robert’s unending love and devotion were instrumental in easing Moira through the last chapter of her life with grace and deference.

Moira’s family and friends will be forever grateful to Dr. Sasha Smiljanic, Dr. David Voduc, Dr. Richard Lewis, as well as the Oncology Nursing Team at LGH and Julia MacDonald at Vancouver Coastal Health.

Moira loved all her four-legged children…her boxers! She is survived by her beloved Jasmine.

There will be a private Celebration of Life for Moira
