It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our loving mother, Shirley Ann Moore, on July 19, 2017. While surrounded by her family, mom passed peacefully into the next world to be with our Heavenly Father as He was in need of another angel. Mom was born on September 20, 1937, to Russell & Evelyn (Lane) Holt. She was the oldest of five children, Jean (Bob) Young of Lafayette, IN, John (Donna) Holt of Lincoln, CA, Barbara (Don) Mathews, and Cheryl Redden of Oakwood, IL. She graduated from Wellington High School. She married our father, Marion Moore on September 2, 1956, in Wellington, IL.

She was a member of the Wellington United Methodist Church, where she was a past Sunday school and Bible school teacher. She enjoyed knitting, gardening, playing the piano, baking and doing crafts.
