Marylou Moore, aged 56, of Louisville, Kentucky, passed away peacefully on August 4, 2025. She was a devoted mother, spouse, daughter, sister, Mamaw/Flip Mammy and a cherished friend to all who had the privilege of knowing her. Marylou was a gifted singer with a captivating voice, often lighting up gatherings with her presence and joy. Her warmth and kindness made everyone feel welcomed and loved.
Marylou was a dedicated medical professional, caring for her patients as if they were her own family. Her intelligence and compassion shone through in her work, making a lasting impact on many lives. As a mother, she provided unwavering support to her children throughout their lives.
Marylou's love extended to her beloved dogs, Dobby and Dell, whom she adored immensely, maybe even more than her children. She shared a deep bond with her partner, Tia Harms, with whom she spent 17 beautiful years. Marylou was not only a loving spouse but also a fierce protector of her family and friends.
Courage was a defining trait in Marylou’s life, as she bravely fought through four rounds of cancer with remarkable strength and resilience. Although her journey has come to an end, her spirit will forever echo in the hearts of those who loved her.
Born on August 25, 1968, in Louisville, Kentucky, she was the daughter of William and Joyce (Bryant) Whitehouse. Marylou is preceded in death by her father, William Whitehouse.
She leaves behind her beloved soulmate, Tia Harms; her mother, Joyce Lou Wheatley; sons Steven Pike, Joseph William Andrew Moore, Hayden Moore, Cody (Kayla) James, and Tony (Ashley) Harms; bonus daughter Jordan Gross; brothers Eddie (Ginger) Whitehouse, Steve (Sabrina) Whitehouse, Jerry (Ted) Whitehouse, and Carl (Ashley) Whitehouse; along with nine grandchildren, and a host of aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, extended family, and friends who will cherish her memory.
