Elease Cole-Moore was born on March 1, 1938, in Isola, Mississippi to the parentage of Rev. Mack Cole and Tamer Cole, who raised her with love, strength, and unwavering support. From a young age, she displayed a vibrant spirit, a kind heart, and a natural ability to bring joy to those around her.
 

Whether it was her infectious laughter, her caring nature, or her ability to turn any moment into a cherished memory, she was a gift to all who had the privilege of knowing her. She was dedicated to her family and friends and that dedication and passion left a lasting impact on everyone. She was deeply committed to striving to make a difference and leave a positive mark on the world.
 

Elease was raised in the cotton fields with little education, yet she rose—wise beyond her years—until the day she passed. In 1956, she moved to Florida for a better life.
 

She cherished her relationships and was a source of strength, laughter, and unwavering support to those who needed her. Her love for her special partner Kenneth Sconious  knew no bounds, and she took great pride in being a loyal daughter, sister, mother, grandmother, partner, and friend. She was preceded in death by her parents, Rev. Mack Cole and Tamer Cole; husband, Robert Moore Sr.; 11 siblings, Hattie, Catherine, Bertha, Levi, Mack Jr., Aaron, Lewis, Annie, Mary, Lela and Callie; 4 children, Verdell, Louvenia, Eric and Linda; 4 grandchildren, Laretha, Arkisha, Bianca and Bernard; 5 great-grandchildren, Julissa, Sylia, Kayden, Lucky and Miracle.
