Printha Moe

Printha Ellen Moe (Hargis) age 77, passed away suddenly and without warning on the evening of Friday, November 29, 2024. Printha loved the outdoors, gardening, and spending time laughing and playing games with friends and family. So many memories were made at the family cabin in Longlac, Ontario, which was built where she met her loving husband. She was an amazing baker and cook, and kept friends and family in coffee, sweets, and meals every chance she had. Her laugh was well-known across Cook County and beyond, and she was always gracious and willing to help those who needed it.
