Audrey J Moore

On September 28, 2025, Audrey J. Moore of Marrero, Louisiana, was called to her Heavenly Home. She went to her rest surrounded by loved ones at the home of her youngest daughter in Louisville, Kentucky.

Audrey is preceded in death by her parents, Lawrene Jeansonne and Rodia Fruge' Jeansonne, her husband of 43 years, E.J. (Blackie) Moore, two brothers, Aubrey Jeansonne and Carl Jeansonne, and her oldest son, Steven Moore.

She is survived by her children, Annette Moore, Lawrence Moore, and Denise Angel (David), her nine grandchildren, Steven Moore, Jr., Shanon Moore Cooper, Shasta Moore Dutruch, Tanya Lester Soule, Cheryl Lester, Lawrence Moore, Jr, James (Jimmy) Moore, Joel (Poppy) Thomas, and Megan Angel. Audrey also has seventeen great-grandchildren and nine great-great-grandchildren.

Audrey lived a storied life, not always an easy one, but one certainly colorful enough to make a novel. In fact, she was told more than once that her stories could become a bestseller, to which she always laughed, but never disagreed! Although she was born in the small town of Eunice, Louisiana, her true love was for her adopted home of New Orleans. She first moved there as a teenager and later with her husband and two oldest children, where she and Blackie ran a grocery store for many years. Her youngest son was born there as well. Her love affair with New Orleans never ended, and she often told stories about her time there.

Audrey loved music and dancing. Living in New Orleans gave her the chance to meet many people, and she counted among her friends such notable individuals as Fats Domino, Lee Allen, and Ernie "The Whip" Bringier, to name a few. She often recalled how Fats would acknowledge her and Blackie if they happened to be where he was performing by putting their name in whatever song he was singing.

Life wasn't always song and dance; she knew her share of hardship. She lived through the Great Depression, World War II, breast cancer, and having a son serve in Vietnam. Life took her to Marrero, Louisiana, where her husband owned a service station and her youngest daughter was born. Along with Blackie, she was one of the founding members of Visitation of Our Lady Catholic Church, where she was a faithful parishioner for many years.

Audrey's character defied definition; she was a woman of many facets and a definite 'presence'. She was a genuine 'people person' and loved making new friends wherever she went. Even after moving to Kentucky, she loved nothing more than going places and talking to people. In Louisiana, she welcomed guests and visitors with open arms, always ready with a pot of gumbo or red beans. She was truly one of a kind and will be greatly missed.

In lieu of flowers, the family is asking that you make a donation to Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation in Audrey's name.
