At the time, she was heard to have said: “I don’t think I have done anything spectacular. I’m just doing what everyone else is or should be doing. Without education, women will remain filing clerks and secretaries and never become presidents or CEOs.” Moody once said she served on TIWA’s Insurance Fundamentals Committee because “you have to give to receive.”Donations in Moody’s memory may be made to the Toronto Hospital for Sick Children.Words of comfort can be sent to the family at maggiemoody@innisfilfuneralhome.ca.
