Shirley Marie (Cook) Moore

Shirley was born September 3, 1939, to the late James and Zelda Munday Cook. She was a graduate of St. Stephens High School and attended Catawba Valley Technical Institute. She worked as a teller for First National Bank for more than 25 years and as an administrator for Hancock & Moore Furniture. She was a life-long member of Mt. Zion Lutheran Church, Conover, where she was involved with Cursillo and women’s circle groups. She was also actively involved in the Republican Party in Catawba and Alexander Counties and was honored to attend two Presidential Inaugurations. Another highlight of her life was to be able to visit the Holy Land. Above all, she was a loving wife, mother and grandmother who cherished time with her family.

Preceding her in death was a son, Randy Moore, grandchild Jesse Moore, a brother, Jimmy Scott, and a sister, Betty Eckard Williams.

Those left to cherish her memory are her husband of 68 years, Jimmy, whom she supported and worked alongside to build three furniture companies, two daughters, Susan (Craig) Sigmon and Julie Moore, both of Conover, and a son, Andrew Moore, of Bethlehem. Shirley also leaves eight grandchildren, Benjamin (Miranda) Sigmon, Katie (Daniel) Herring, Betsy (Charles) Draper, Ashley and Keisha Moore, Tristan Moore, Shayla and Austin Moore, and ten great-grandchildren, Spencer, Camden, Evelyn, George, Hadley, Coleman, Elizabeth, Nyesha, R.J. and Carter. Her brother J.D Scott and wife Charlene also survive her.

Shirley’s family expresses much gratitude to Hospice and caregivers, Claudette, Donna and Devon, for the great care given to their loved one.
