It is with profound sadness and gentle relief that the family of CORY MOGUS announces her passing. A spark of life taken far too soon after a five-year journey with cancer that she coped with by "living in denial". She focused on enjoying life and staying positive.

Cory fully engaged in life surrounded by numerous friends. They called her their social butterfly. Cory was involved in the Lethbridge Community Taiko Association (drumming), Dragon Boating with Lethbridge Leftovers (past) and currently Nautigals and A Breast of Bridge. Cory golfed with the Ladies League at Land-O-Lakes Golf and Country Club and bowled with "The Who" on Tuesday night league. Cory quickly and easily became friends with all those who entered her life.

Cory was born and educated in Lethbridge and worked a variety of jobs including her recent employment with the Government of Alberta during the past 26 and a half years.

Cory is survived by her mother Viola Mogus, sister Cindy (Frank) Kabelka, sister Charlene (Rino) Cattapan and two nieces Christine Kabelka and Pamela Tymensen. She was predeceased by her father Ken Mogus.

We wish to thank those involved in her care. Cory remained friends with her original surgeon Dr. Ryan McColl and his assistant Glenda. The Medical Oncologists and staff at the Jack Ady Cancer Centre. Dr. Elijah Dixon (Calgary), Dr. Rajveer Hundal (Lethbridge), her caring family physician Dr. Dionne Walsh and the exceptional Palliative Care team with a special thank you to Dr. Brenda Ireland and Dr. Elvira Smuts.

Flowers graciously declined. Please donate generously to St. Michael's Health Centre, Palliative Care Unit, 1400 - 9th Avenue South, Lethbridge, AB, T1J 4V5.

As Cory wished, a Celebration of her Life will be held at CORNERSTONE FUNERAL HOME, 2800 Mayor Magrath Drive South, Lethbridge, AB, on Saturday, March 19, 2016 at 6:00 P.M. with a tribute and slide show.

Please bring your favorite memory to share.

I didn't see Cory often but, when I did, she always had that great smile - she has gone too soon but I'm sure that she'll be getting some of the ol' gang back together up in heaven (Punchy, Ronnie, Terry Lynn ...). My sympathies & prayers go out to Viola, Cindy & Charlene during this sad time.

While we never had the privilege of meeting Cory in person, we came to know her through our friends Sue & Dave. She was a remarkable person who really lived her life to the full. Her bravery and positive attitude were a lesson for us all. We would like to send our heartfelt condolences to Cory's family and friends at this sad time. David & Jacky Lawrence

We had the privilege of meeting Cory several years' ago through mutual friends. She was a wonderful, caring person who often made us laugh. Whenever we were around Cory she had the ability to engage us all in conversation as if it was only yesterday we saw her. She was always on the go and involved in so may things and her zest for life was contagious. We express our deepest condolences to the family and the many friends she had. Our social gatherings will not be the same without her, and we will miss her. buthere for your family's that just hearing about themderful stories to tell and

We had the pleasure of getting to know Cory through our mutual friends Sue & Dave Edwards. She was such a warm and gentle spirit with an obvious zest for life. She had such a positive attitude in the face of diversity, always with a smile on her face and a twinkle in her eyes. She will be missed!

Dear Cory I miss seeing you at all our work stuff, making jokes about the quality of the buffet at the AGM, and just your kindness every time we met. You're one of the best! Take care whereever you are now, all blessings. ~Vicki

Cory was an amazing person! You would never be able to tell how ill she was, because she was always smiling and always had a positive outlook on life. She was always so kind and patient with me. Her passing is a great loss to all who knew her, but I am comforted knowing she is now free of her pain and suffering. Rest in peace.

I had pleasure of meeting Cory when I threw a surprise B.D. party for my wife a few years back. Cory had gone to school with Michele, ( Emery ).What a totally beautiful and genuine soul she is. She had that gift of being your old friend even though you may have just met her. What a sweet and beautiful soul. May you find comfort in the arms of the Angels.

Brad & Michele Jones, March 18, 2016

Sending deepest condolences to the Mogus family at this difficult time. Cory was a long time friend and at one time co-worker. We had good times Bowling against each other and maybe a few drinks were had as well.

Helena Smith, March 18, 2016

My heartfelt condolences to Cory's family and friends. She was an esteemed colleague, but most importantly a friend. We were able to share many laughs over the years and I enjoyed hearing her stories about her many adventures. Despite all she faced, she always maintained a positive outlook. She will be deeply missed.

I am sorry and sad to hear that Cory lost her battle. She was such a strong sole and so caring. I thoroughly enjoyed her company and talks as we walked the links at Land-O-Lakes for evening league. She did face every challenge with dignity and grace. She will be missed by many. I will play my first round this season in her honour. Take care of each other at this time and I hope happy memories keep you going. from Shirley Loewen, Land-O-Lakes Golfer and league mate

Cory and I worked together in the Intake team at Employment Standards. While we did not work side-by-side (my office is in Edmonton), she was always so lovely to talk to over the phone and when we would see each other at our annual general meetings. She had a great sense of humour and a great outlook on life. We had a good chat by phone just a few weeks ago, and I was so happy to hear that she was still participating in her Taiko drum performances. We will miss you, Cory!

Katie Ross, March 17, 2016
