Elizabeth "Libby" Moore

Born Elizabeth Lynn Lemmon on September 12, 1945, she grew up in Bexley, Ohio, before moving to Marblehead after attending Ohio State University when she was twenty-one years old. She quickly immersed herself in the community, becoming fully engaged in her garden club, book clubs, church and the Historical Society. After earning her Master’s degree at Harvard University, she dedicated her long career to nurturing children and teenagers in her roles as a Marblehead Middle School guidance counselor and then principal of The Veterans Middle School before retiring to spend time with her family.

She committed herself to helping others every day and always had the door open to her precious home. She is preceded in death by her parents, Tom and Barbara Lemmon, and her brother Pat Lemmon. She is survived by her husband Spencer Moore, to whom she was married for 46 years; her beloved children Jamie Walters, Adam Moore and Elizabeth Liu; her grandchildren, Noah (26), Ellie (21), Caiti (19), Ana (17), Hudson (13), Winneford (10), Lili (3) and Mabel (7 months); her adoring sister, Lindy Maciejowski; nieces, nephews, in-laws and numerous friends who cherished her beyond measure.

Above all else, Libby loved being a mother, grandmother and friend. She always gave her full presence to each and every person she encountered and delighted in playing with all of her children and taking care of them. We will miss her infectious laughter, her wonderful humor, her intelligence, and most importantly her unconditional love. These cornerstones of her character are carried on by each of her eight grandchildren, who all reflect her kind nature and optimism. She was a beautiful woman in spirit and style. She continues to be dearly loved.
