Mary Moore Obituary

Mary Loretta Dodds Moore MT. PLEASANT - January 31, 1926 - April 3, 2012 A member of Christ Our King Parish, beloved daughter who was sister to seven, loving wife, mother to nine, aunt to 52, grandmother to 22, great grandmother to 5, and friend to many passed into eternal life through the grace of the Holy Trinity. She was born at her family's residences 37, 39 and 41 State Street, Charleston, South Carolina, (Dodds and Hennessey). She was raised on Fishbourne Street in Charleston with the richest of childhood memories. Her stories of the days of her youth attending Sacred Heart and Bishop England, and summers with family and friends on Sullivan's Island will live in the hearts and minds of us children. At twenty-three she married our father, John P. Moore, Jr. and together they became part of the Sullivan's Island crowd, who along with beloved friends, lived a rich life and brought six of their nine children into this world. They moved to Dawson Terrace in Mount Pleasant where their last three children were born. In her last years she found joy in Independent Living at The Palms of Mt. Pleasant where she enjoyed socializing, bridge, shows, and the lunch bunch. Her accomplishments were many but understated by her unwavering belief that family, friends, and life experiences define a person. Her trust and faith in God along with the promise of eternal life were a lesson to us all. She spoke often that she prayed each day for the health, happiness and faith of her family. We will ever be touched by her compassion for others. We pray that she will be there to greet us at our hours of death and that she will live in the glory of God's eternal promise. Parents: John Joseph Dodds and Loretta Hennessey Dodds. Siblings, Elizabeth Dodds Jacobs, Hugh Dodds, John J. Dodds, Jr., Bernard Dodds, Lawrence Dodds, Helen Dodds Sheppard, and Carolyn Dodds, McDonald. Children: Nancy Claire Moore Hesler and Steve, Mary Patricia Moore Smith and Danny, John Pease Moore, III and Cynthia, David Laurence Moore and Pam, Kevin Charles Moore and Emily, Janet Marie Moore, Marcia Ann Moore Saari and David, James Dodds Moore and Mary Helen, Molly Anne Moore Lanning and Mark. Nieces and Nephews: an amazing group well loved. Grandchildren: Christina, Angela, Johnny, Michael, Jonathon, Catherine Ann, Kimberly, Davey, Amy, Taylor, Cullen, Terrell, Billy, Dave, Laura Ann, Jimmy, Mary Harriet, Rhetta, Molly, Alex and Zach. Great Grand Children: Trinity, Addison, Jackson, Drayton, and Pepper. The family will receive friends Monday, April 9, 2012 from 6-8PM with the Rosary being recited at 6PM at MCALISTER-SMITH FUNERAL HOME, 1520 RIFLE RANGE RD. The Liturgy of Christian Burial will be held at 10AM at Christ Our King Catholic Church with burial to follow in Mt. Pleasant Memorial Gardens. Memorial donations may be made in her honor to Christ Our King Senior Ministries, 1149 Russell Drive, Mt. Pleasant, SC 29464. Visit our guestbook at www.postandcourier.com/ deaths

•What moves through us is a silence, a quiet sadness, a longing for one more day, one more word, one more touch, we may not understand why you left this earth so soon, or why you left before we were ready to say good-bye, but little by little, we begin to remember not just that you died, but that you lived. And that your life gave us memories too beautiful to forget.

Janet,
