Frances Moore Obituary
Frances Moore, 79, of Carrollton, Texas, formerly of Lafayette, died Aug. 8, 2012. She was born Nov. 19, 1932 in Shenandoah, Va. to Vernon and Laura Morris. She was married to Robert F. Moore, for 56 years, who passed away on January 20, 2010.
Frances worked at Arni's Restaurant for 35 years and recently relocated to Carrollton, Texas. She loved to read, play Bingo, and played a mean game of checkers. Although she joined the Texas Ranger fans in cheering on their hometown team, she remained a devoted Cubs fan. In addition, as one of 12 siblings, she was especially close to her surviving sister, Venda Denton, whom she talked to several times daily.
Also surviving are three daughters, Susan Hadley (husband: Jerry), of Lafayette, Janet Moore (life partner: Tammy), of Carrollton, Texas, and Anna Shaffer (husband: Kevin), of Valley View, Texas; grandchildren, Greg and Daniel Newgent, of Lafayette, Logan and Layne Moore, of Carrollton, Texas, Mason and Ethan Shaffer, of Valley View, Texas, and three great-grandchildren.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be made to the Lafayette Almost Home Humane Society.

The greater the love, the harder the loss. Aunt Frances (and Uncle Bob) will never be forgotten. She gave me some of the best memories of my life during summers in Lafayette. What a beautiful and unique lady she was, and what a blessing knowing her was!
