Lea Mogg

December 1, 2000 — January 25, 2014

Mogg, Lea (nee Pohuda) of Georgetown & Windsor Ontario. Mother, grandmother, wife and friend. Died Saturday, January 25 at 12:30 in Toronto. She was preceded in death by her husband Larry who died in December 2000. A beautiful and conscientious woman, daughter of Eli and Uliana, Russian immigrants to Canada, she was a younger sister to Rose, she grew up and blossomed in Windsor. Education was very important to her: she graduated from Walkerville High School in 1956, graduated from Windsor Grace Hospital as a Laboratory Technologist in 1957 and then from Assumption University (University of Windsor) in 1960 with a B.A. She married Larry Mogg in 1962 and had two children, Jason and Kirsten. She moved with Larry to Ottawa in 1962, to Etobicoke in 1966 and to Georgetown in 1968, where she lived the rest of her life. She became a teacher's assistant and worked for over ten years helping students at the Georgetown & District High School. She loved to spend peaceful and fun time at the chalet with her family and friends in Kimberley in the Beaver Valley. She was intelligent, thoughtful, immensely kind and always very giving of herself. She had real wisdom, she connected well with children and with most anyone she met. She was always available to listen and to talk (especially to brag about her children and grandchildren). Her counsel always made sense and always felt right. She had a moral compass that was extraordinary and, underneath it a quiet, often surprising and underestimated determination and strength. Above all she was utterly devoted to her family. She deeply loved and was loved by her family. She leaves her son, Jason, her daughter Kirsten, her grandchildren Hayley McKay, Matyas Mogg and David Mogg and daughter-in-law Hana Mogg Jilkova and an extended family as well as an array of good friends, old and new. She will be very greatly missed. Friends will be received at the J.S. Jones & Son Funeral Home, 11582 Trafalgar Road, north of Maple Ave., Georgetown, (905)877-3631 on Wednesday from 7-9 pm. Funeral service will be held in the chapel on Thursday January 30th at 11:00 am. Cremation. In lieu of flowers please make donations in her honour to the education charity of your choice.
