Margaret Ellen Moore

MS Margaret (Margee) Moore of San Diego, formerly of Clayton, passed away peacefully at her home in California on October 20, 2024, after a courageous ten-month battle with metastatic melanoma. Born in Watertown, NY, to Truman B. Moore and Margaret (Loveland) Moore, Margee graduated from Thousand Islands Central School in 1972 before pursuing further education at Central City Business Institute in 1973.

Her early career began with the Muscular Dystrophy Association in Watertown, where she dedicated herself to helping others until 1977.

In August 1977, Margee relocated to sunny San Diego, California, where her professional journey continued. She initially took a position with the County of San Diego, before moving to San Diego Gas & Electric, where she contributed her talents until retirement in 2008. An energetic and go-getter at heart, Margee continued her education by earning an associate's degree in business administration from San Diego City College in 1991. Post-retirement, she channeled her vibrant energy into house and dog sitting, further highlighting her love for both animals and her community.

Margee will be fondly remembered for her endless generosity, infectious energy, and delightful sense of humor. She was always there to lend a helping hand to those in need, and her passion for gardening brought her immense joy. Described as highly organized and driven, she also had a profound love for travel and a well-known sweet tooth. Her outgoing nature made her a beloved figure amongst her friends and family, who cherished her zest for life.

Margee is survived by her brother Brian Moore of San Diego, her brother Truman Moore Jr. and his wife Sherri from Tennessee, her niece Trudy Moore, her nephew Brian T. Moore from Michigan, and a wide circle of extended friends and family. To honor her memory, a memorial service will be held on Wednesday, December 11th, at 12 PM at the Pacific Beach La Jolla Chapel. An additional service is planned for June 2025 in Thousand Islands, New York, with updated information available on her memorial page as the date approaches. Margee’s legacy of kindness and her vibrant spirit will live on in the hearts of all who knew and loved her.
