Adania Elizabeth Moore Onstot, of Denison, Texas passed away Sunday June 3, 2018. She was born Tuesday, September 14, 1937 in Parsons, Kansas to Rufus Smallwood Moore (Jack) & Ella Mariah Maynard Moore.
Left this Life and was welcomed into God's glorious presence. Never to be burdened by illness, sorrow, pain, or loneliness. She loved the Lord, and what a beautiful dawning of a new life to be with her Lord.
She is now in the presence of her son, Stephen, her Husband, Bob, and her family and friends.
Adania attended and graduated from Muskogee Beauty College in Muskogee, Oklahoma receiving a Diploma on March, 7, 1955 and worked with her Mother at Ella's Beauty Shop for several years. In 1957, Adania moved to Denison, Texas with her parents when her father was transferred there with MK&T Railroad. Adania met Bobbie Don Onstot and was married on October 5, 1957 in Durant, Oklahoma.

In 1969 they moved from Richardson to Van Alstyne, Texas and completely furnished a two story home with only antiques that Adania and Bob had spent years collecting from their trips around America. Adania and Bob had visited every state in the contiguous United States with their children, and took a lot of pleasure in antique hunting. Adania was an animal lover. She had many dogs throughout the years, and she loved canaries. She even raised Yorkshire Terriers for several years.
Adania attended First Baptist Church in Van Alstyne, Texas. She was a Room Mother in both of her son's classes throughout their times in school.
