Sharion Moore

Sharion was born on February 16, 1947, in Seymour, Texas. She grew up in Lubbock before making Midland her home, where she spent most of her adult life raising her family and creating a home that welcomed everyone who walked through its doors.

She and the love of her life, Charles Freeman Moore, shared 61 years of marriage. Together they built a life rooted in love, faith, hard work, and family. Their home was always a gathering place where family and friends knew they were welcome.

She is survived by her husband, Charles; her daughter, Judith Tarlton and husband Jason; her grandchildren, Sarah Estes and husband Arthur, Andrew Derington, and Jacob Tarlton; her sister, Nina Bowles; her brother, Donnie Biggerstaff; and many nieces and nephews whom she loved dearly. She was preceded in death by her parents, Cephy Henry Biggerstaff and Lora Jewel Mills Biggerstaff. Her sisters, Rowena Gleghorn, Polly Lewis, Jewel Lewis, Bonnie Barnes, and Judy Biggerstaff. Her brother Bud Biggerstaff.

Sharion loved being outdoors. Whether she was planting flowers, working in her yard, or planning the next trip, she was happiest when she was surrounded by the people she loved. She never missed an opportunity to celebrate her family's accomplishments or simply spend time with them.

She was incredibly proud of each of her grandchildren. She celebrated Sarah's marriage to Arthur with a full heart, admired Andrew for the successful life he built and his love of fast cars, and was excited to watch Jacob begin the next chapter of his life after graduating from Midland High School and preparing to attend college to pursue his passion for music.

Sharion's love reached far beyond her immediate family. She adored her many nieces and nephews, and each one knew they held a special place in her heart. Her home was always open to anyone who needed a place to stay, a hot meal, or simply someone to listen. If you stayed with Sharion, you could also count on receiving some honest advice. She never hesitated to share the wisdom she'd gained through life, always hoping to help those she loved make their own path a little easier.

What people will remember most about Sharion wasn't just what she did, but how she made them feel. She made people feel welcome, cared for, and loved. She celebrated the good times, stood beside her family through the hard ones, and never stopped believing in the people she loved.

The flowers she planted will bloom again each spring, but the love, kindness, and encouragement she planted in her family will continue for generations. Her absence leaves an immeasurable void, but her example will remain in the hearts of everyone fortunate enough to know her.
