Dorothy Jean (Frosch) Moore was born on October 1, 1935 in Lexington, Texas to Clarence Monroe Frosch & Lena Katherine (Marburger) Frosch. She graduated from Lexington High School in 1954 and attended nursing school in Austin. She was united in marriage to George Edward Moore on June 17, 1956 at the Lexington United Methodist Church in Lexington. Dorothy retired from the Giddings State School where she had worked as a houseparent for 25 years. She had been an active member of Faith Lutheran Church and New Hope Lutheran Church in McDade where she had been involved with the Women of the Word and quilted for Lutheran World Relief. She was a charter member of the VFW Post 8313 Ladies Auxiliary in McDade and a member of the Texas Education Extension Agency and the Bastrop County German Club. She was involved with the McDade Watermelon Festival for years and had served as parade marshal. The top priorities in Dorothy's life were her faith and her family. She enjoyed quilting and made quilts for most of her family. She also earned the title of "Granny Flash" due to her love of taking pictures. She could usually be found working in her garden, taking care of her flowers, taking care of animals or going to garage sales. She was a collector of all things, especially cookbooks, and could fix anything, especially with baling twine.

Dorothy passed away the morning of Thursday, April 2, 2015 at her home in McDade following an extended illness. She left this life the same way she lived it, strong in her faith and with family by her side.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Clarence & Lena Frosch; her husband of 54 years, George Moore Sr.; her daughter-in-law, Belinda Moore and brothers-in-law and sisters-in-law, Ray & Thelma McDavid, Wilbur & Nell Moore and Marie Moore.

Dorothy is survived by her six children, George Jr. & Jana Moore of Cedar Creek, David Moore of McDade, Jeanne Wray of Houston, Lisa & Mike Lavender of College Station, Lori Pohorelsky of Houston and Gary & Heather Moore of Brenham; six grandchildren, Samantha Moore of Cedar Creek, Trey Moore of Cedar Creek, Bradley & Alyssa Moore of Elgin, Brittany Moore of California, Marty & Katrina Malinak of College Station and Devin Moore of San Antonio; two great grandchildren, Avery Moore & Harper Moore both of McDade; nine step-grandchildren, Matthew & Melissa Pohorelsky of Giddings, Daniel Pohorelsky of South Dakota, Eric Auld of San Antonio, Kailyn Capps of Brenham, Emily Gonzales of Brenham, Alexis Zach of Brenham, Alana Lavender of Madisonville, Jason Lavender of College Station and Michelle Lavender of Kansas; three sisters, Vernell & Morris Kastner of McDade, Florene & Billy Tom McDaniel of Rockdale and Lela Faye Barker of Red Rock; brother, Charles & Carol Frosch of Bryan; brother-in-law, John Moore of McDade as well as numerous nieces, nephews, other relatives and friends.
