Kathleen Mary “Casey” Moser - 1954-2008
Casey Moser, nee Dickson, of Dawson Creek BC, beloved wife and mother, passed away suddenly, unexpectantly, and tragicallyon the 25th day of September, 2008. She is survived by her husband Karl, three children Tim, Steven (Randall), and Victoria, granddaughter Sophie, and siblings Patricia, Bill, and Mike. She was predeceased by mother and father Mollie and Bill Dickson of Calgary.
Born in Edmonton, Casey moved to Calgary with her family when she was too young to remember, and she spent her childhood there, graduating from high school in 1971. After graduating from high school, Casey enrolled in the Wildlife Technician program at NAIT in Edmonton. Upon graduation, she worked for Alberta Fish and Wildlife as a technician in and around southern Alberta.
Casey met Karl, the love of her life, one summer while working in fisheries in 1977. Karl proposed in June of 1979 and they were married on January 12, 1980, at the United Church in Blairmore, Alberta. A two week camping honeymoon on the big island of Hawaii followed.
In the years that followed Karl and Casey lived in Alberta at Beaver Mines, Kipp, Picture Butte, and Gem. In the spring of 1983, Tim was born at the Brooks hospital. Two years later Steven followed. Casey stayed at home and raised the kids while Karl taught at the local school.
The family moved several times over the next four years, and lived in BC on Pender Island, Hudson’s Hope and Prespatou, when their third child, Victoria, was born in 1988. Eventually they made their way to Dawson Creek, where in 1990 they settled a 1/4 section north of town. In short order there were all sorts of animals, new buildings, and a big garden and flower beds which Casey tended. Casey got heavily involved in 4-H as a parent and volunteer leader.
In recent years, Casey worked as an auxiliary at the BC Ministry of Agriculture’s Crop Insurance office in Dawson Creek and was known for her positive attitude and bright smile.
Casey was involved in her community in many ways. She believed in doing her part to make the world a better place. She taught Sunday school, helped organize Dry Grad activities, was involved in every PAC and countless school activities, played bluegrass music with friends, and was a long-time member of the Spinners and Weavers Guild. She was a great influence on young people, and always had a cheerful word for anyone who needed it.
Casey was cremated and a Celebration of Life service was held on October 1st at the Dawson Creek Alliance Church. Interment of her ashes took place at the Rolla Cemetery.
The family would like to thank everyone who was involved in helping make the arrangements and for the many contributions made to Camp Sagitawa. We are grateful for the overwhelming support of all the friends who made this tragedy easier to bear.
Expressions of sympathy in memory of Casey can be made to the "Camp Sagitawa " Box 61, Moberly Lake, BC V0C 1X0 .
