Mary Adrienne Moore

on Saturday, December 5, 2020. Born in New York on April 20, 1947, she moved to the

Treasure Coast in 1957 with her parents, Bill and Marie Moore.

Ms Moore graduated from St. Anastasia School in Fort Pierce and Barry College in Miami.

She worked in both St. Lucie and Martin counties, spending 20 years as a news reporter

working in print, radio and television, including as the Treasure Coast reporter for WPTV

Channel 5. Her next 25 years were spent as the public relations development specialist

at Indian River State College’s public radio station WQCS. She retired in 2007, but kept

her hand in it by starting her own business assisting with media relations and special

events. She was a resident of Stuart.

Ms Moore was an accredited public relations professional, as well as, a certified public

relations counselor. She was a member of the Treasure Coast Florida Public Relations

Association chapter for 29 years, working on multiple chapter committees, and serving

four terms as chapter president. Ms Moore also presided as state president and as the

Florida Public Relations Education chair. She was unanimously named a Florida Public

Relations Association Life Member in 2020.

Ms Moore lent her expertise to numerous local nonprofit organizations over the years,

including the Environmental Studies Council in Jensen Beach, Molly’s House in Stuart,

the Zora Neale Hurston Committee in Fort Pierce, Women Supporting the Arts, and she

had been a volunteer at the Kennedy Space Center for NASA Public Affairs for 11 years.

She was a friend to all, a mentor to many, with a quick and hearty laugh, ready to jump in

with both feet to help whenever and wherever needed. The Treasure Coast has lost a

dear and devoted friend.

A Celebration of Life for Ms Moore will be held Saturday, June 26, 2021 at 10:00 am in Fernhill Memorial Gardens, 1501 S Kanner Highway, Stuart.

Donations can be made to Helping People Succeed and Treasure Coast Hospice.
