A faithful member of Bethel Bear Creek Reformed Church, Mrs. Moose was active in the Choir and Women’s Fellowship. She is remembered for her love of music and her beautiful alto voice. Mrs. Moose enjoyed participating in all church activities, and she delighted in making delicious chicken and dumplings, homemade noodles, and desserts for church suppers.

Mrs. Moose worked long hours on the family farm, and she delighted in gardening, preserving vegetables and fruits for the winter. Special pleasures were quilt-making for family and friends, growing beautiful flowers, bird-watching, fishing, cooking, and teaching her granddaughters how to make special candies at Christmas. Her four children loved to awaken on Saturday mornings to the aroma of homemade bread baking in the kitchen. Mrs. Moose loved family gatherings and trips to the beach and mountains.

The Moose Family expresses heartfelt gratitude to extended family and all the friends for their loving support, cards, visits and meals, and sincere appreciation for the dedicated staff at Tucker Hospice House for their compassionate service and care. A special thank you is expressed to Gwen Moore who provided devotion and loving care to Mrs. Moose for five years.
