Frances was predeceased by her husband, Barney, her parents, Martin and Sarah Curley and four brothers and sisters. Mrs. Moore was born in Newbridge, County Galway, Ireland. At the age of twenty-three she sailed from Ireland to New York where she joined her two sisters. While residing in New York she worked at St. Francis Hospital and General Electric. In 1947, she married Barney and took up residence in Forest Hills, New York. They were members of Our Lady of the Angelus Catholic Church where the children attended school and Frances served as President of the Catholic Women's Society. Her husband's leadership position with The Hilton Corporation brought the family to Washington, DC. Mrs. Moore continued her volunteer efforts at St. Michael the Archangel Catholic Church and School in Silver Spring, MD and the Catholic Daughters of the Americas. Later, Frances retired from Citizens Bank of Maryland. Frances and Barney were ardent bridge players and loyal Redskins fans. Frances was a woman of deep Catholic faith and loved her family more than life itself.
