Marie A. Moore

Marie was born on December 13, 1943, in Bluefield, WV to Posey Lee and Margaret (Johnson) Phillips. She graduated from Park Central High School in 1961. She moved to Brooklyn, NY where she met and married Clyde Moore Jr. on October 16, 1964. They raised three daughters, Rosemarie, Michele Marie, and Kim Sue.

Marie had a passion for sewing. She loved to make her own clothing and spent countless hours doing so. She also loved to read. She was a voracious reader and loved to read novels sitting in her favorite recliner with a cup of coffee. She also loved to watch court TV shows and the Gameshow Network. That would become her favorite pastime.

Marie worked for New Jersey Bell (Verizon) for 30 years before retiring in 1998. She was always eager to learn new things and after retirement she began taking computer classes at the Department for the Aging in Manhattan. She was a very tech savvy person who loved technology and all the latest gadgets.

Marie was a devoted mother who dedicated her life to her family. Spending quality time with her husband and children was important to her and she often said that they were all that she ever needed. She had a heart of gold and was always willing to lend a helping hand to anyone in need. Her kindness, compassion, and selflessness touched the lives of everyone who knew her. She was also known for her quick wit and impeccable style. She was tough, but sweet and extremely humble. Anyone that had the pleasure of knowing her loved her. She was a straight shooter and told it like it was.

Marie was preceded in death by her loving husband Clyde Moore Jr. Her father, Posey Lee, and her mother, Margaret, her sister Barbara, brothers, Lincoln, Douglas, Benny Joseph, and Edward. Marie will be deeply missed by her family and friends.
