Obituary of Juila E. Mohart

Julia E. (McGee) Mohart, age 90, of Hilton, NY, passed away peacefully on Sunday, October

27, 2024. Julia was born on April 28, 1934 in Silver Creek, NY to Joseph E. and Lena (Vara)

McGee.  She was a 1951 graduate of Silver Creek High School before attending Cobleskill

College.  Following college, she returned to Silver Creek and was a member of St. Alban’s

Episcopal Church while working at the Silver Creek Penny Saver, Smith’s Smoke Shop, Smith's

Dress Shop and was a Co-Director for the Silver Creek Senior Citizens Group.

 

Julia, or “Judy” to many friends and family, was a proud and original member of Silver Creek’s

“Parkway Bunch”.  It was on Parkway where she took comfort in her home of over

50 years and where she, along with her husband Eugene "Moose" Mohart, enjoyed many days

of sunshine on the front porch.  The decorating of "Mrs. Moose" on that enclosed porch was well

loved, whether it be an elaborate Christmas motif or a Sunday display in hopes of a Buffalo Bills

victory.  Judy was a crossword aficionado, a determined knitter, and a lover of reading. 

 

She had a great affinity for all things Disney, including Disney World, which she visited 29(!)

times, as recently as Christmas of 2022 with her family. It was there that Judy often shined in

her love of music, the kinder things in life, and showed off her skills as a conversationalist,

striking up chats with folks of all walks of life on the “Magic Bus” or on a park bench.  Her

warmth and affection, along with her quick wit and sense of humor, will be missed by so very

many.   

 

Judy is survived by her loving daughter, Sheila (Rob) Steinorth of Hilton, NY.  In addition, she is

survived by her Grandson Brandon (Christina) Steinorth of Newfield, NY; her deeply beloved

Great-Grandchildren Noah, Julia (her namesake) and Miles; brother-in-law Dr. Kenneth Canfield

of Wellsville, NY and several nieces, nephews and cousins.  She is also survived by her

cherished and lifelong friend, Nancy Hornburg of Silver Creek, NY.  

 

Judy was predeceased by her devoted husband of 58 years, Eugene “Moose” Mohart, and her

sister, Arline “Penny” Canfield, whom she long adored.  

 

A memorial service will be held at the Sheridan Cemetery in Sheridan, NY at a later date at the

family’s convenience.  In lieu of flowers, please consider memorial donations to the Anderson

Lee Library in Silver Creek, NY – she loved a good mystery.

Arrangements have been entrusted to the Hole-Parker Funeral Chapel, 160 Central Ave. Silver Creek, NY.
