Lavon Hale Moore

Lavon Hale Moore, 79, went to be with her Lord and Savior, Friday, March 2, 2018, at her home with her husband of 62 years by her side. Lavon was born in Mt. Vernon, TX on June 11, 1938. She graduated from Mt. Vernon High School, class of '56, and remained very active in their class reunions for years. She loved people and had a special gift for helping everyone. This gift led her to be successful in many career advances; Lavon worked for the Baytown Sun from 1957-1962 before she took time off to stay home and raise her children as a homemaker at which time she also sold Avon for many years. Lavon began working outside of the home again in customer service as the office manager at Palais Royal at San Jacinto Mall when it first opened in 1981, from there she pursued a career in retail and ultimately became the assistant store manager for Palais Royal. She later worked for Foley’s and Macy’s also in the mall. Although she was successful in her career advances, her true love was spending time with her family and grandchildren.

Lavon is preceded in death by her parents; Guy Booker and Leona Hale; brother, Clyde; and sisters; Margie and Martha Jo.

Lavon is survived by her husband of 62 years, Kenneth Moore, son Russell Moore and his wife Deanne, daughter Melanie Moore Laughlin, grandchildren, Reagan Dru Goza and husband Calvin, Kelsey Lynn Laughlin, Madison Shea Malaschak and husband Scott, Lindsey Kate Laughlin and fiancé Matt Lopez, Tyler Reese Laughlin; great-grandchildren, Jayden Cole Lopez, Marshall Cole Goza, Drake Anthony Lopez, Bryce Andrew Laughlin, and Mabry Dru Goza.
