On February 25th, the world lost one of the most courageous and full of life people, our dear brother, Sean Macoon. For a man in his late 40’s he had triumphed over much of life’s hardships. From a young boy, he was always supporting people of disabilities and helped bring awareness to challenges facing these groups. His life represented grit, perseverance, resilience, and a strong will. Although his life was cut short so suddenly, we are grateful for the time we had with him.
Our brother’s faith in Jesus and his commitment to First Assembly of God Church kept him strong and full of hope. He had an immense passion for music and loved to listen to old vinyl’s of BB King, Jeff Healey, and Stevie Wonder. Sean truly had a zest for anything instrumental and musical. He was a unique and dynamic individual that faced life head on.
With heavy hearts, we will miss you dearly, Sean.

NORINE LUCILLE MOORE June 23, 1956 ~ February 25, 2021 On Thursday, February 25, 2021, Norine Lucille Moore passed away peacefully in Medicine Hat at the age of 64 years while surrounded by her loving family. Born on June 23, 1956, Norine led a beautiful life and was adored by all those who were lucky enough to meet her. She was strong, sassy, and much to the detriment of others, stubborn as hell. There was never a dull moment lived with her by your side. Whether it was playing yahtzee, baking dessert or being corralled into another photoshoot, there was always a sassy remark to be said and a radiant smile to join it. Norine is survived by her husband, Douglas, their three children and their families: daughter, Shandi (Clayton) Hurlbert and their children, Kody, Rylie, and Shyla; son, Christopher Moore (Samantha Poch); daughter, Danielle Moore (Ian Gutjahr) and their children, Kaiden and Connor; siblings, Joyce Morrison and Barry (Shaireen) Osborne as well as numerous nieces and nephews. Norine was predeceased by her parents, Clayton and Hanna Osborne as well as her parents-in-law, Arthur and Dorothy Moore. With Norine’s passing, there is a spark stolen from the world; a spark that will be dearly missed. Norine truly lived each moment to the fullest and made countless memories with family and friends that they will cherish forever. With her sheer stubbornness and unique soul, Norine and her stories will live on for generations. “Another year passes, another year gone,
The memories we made, and new memories go on.
As money can buy all the things that we crave,
It’s memories and family that we treasure and save.
A family is something you can never replace,
A memory is something you can never erase.
So many memories to treasure and love,
I thank all the angels watching above.”
A private graveside service will be held for the family. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to APARC Animal Shelter, 1002 South Railway Street S.E., Medicine Hat, Alberta, T1A 2W2 or to http://www.aparc.ca (Condolences may be expressed by visiting http://www.cooksouthland.com).
