Annie LaCour Moore

 Annie LaCour was born to Brazil LaCour and Leocadie Sylvie LaCour on March 25, 1947, in Shreveport, LA. She was baptized at Our Lady of the Blessed Sacrament Church April 6, 1947, and attended church there with her family until she became ill in July 2023. She attended OLBS Academy as well as Notre Dame High School and graduated in 1965. Annie loved summer vacations to visit Tante’ Lair on Cane River with her cousins, Ann and Valerie.

 After high school, Annie was briefly employed at Kroger’s with her dad, then went on to work for Western Electric. There she buffed the old landline phones that were in use at the time. She carried her service years from Western Electric to South Central Bell and was employed there as a directory assistance operator until her retirement in 1995.

 Annie reconnected with her childhood friend, Moto, in 1986 through her brother, Sylvester. Ann was skeptical about dating him, but if you know Moto, he was persistent and soon won her over. They were married on November 24, 1991, in a double wedding ceremony with her sister Sylvia and brother-in-law, Johnnie.

 Annual family cruises became a form of fun and relaxation for Annie, and they were a way for her to connect with family and friends who lived far away and whom she did not often see. When she was not cruising, she would stay up through the wee hours of the night watching old romance movies on TCM. Never call her before noon.

 She was a member of the Altar Rosary Society from 1993 until 2017. She worked on various fundraising projects with Joan Carthrum to raise money for altar supplies and flowers. She was also a member of the Drexel Guild. With the guild, she helped organize church receptions and repasts.

 After her dad died, everyone depended on Ann to identify people and stories that no one else could remember. She had a vivid memory, so everyone would go to her for those old fun stories, some exaggerated. Ann loved her entire family dearly, her in-laws, and especially her nieces and nephews. They all called her Naney; Sylvester called her Nanie Mae. She would often ask to see pictures of her family when she was in rehab.

 She leaves to cherish her only living uncle, Roylin (Loocey) LaCour; her sisters, Barbara LaCour Simmons and Sylvia LaCour Williams; one brother, Sylvester Lacour (LaWaunda); several nieces and nephews; cousins; and a big loving family.
