Moe was a very talented and kind person. She was a great cook and owned several of her own restaurants. She later went on to work a variety of different jobs, including Community in Action and Midwest Eye Care. Moe had an eclectic mix of interests and hobbies, ranging from ballet to flight lessons. Her kindness and zest for life will be missed, but her memory will continue through all who love her.

My sincere condolences to Moe's family at this difficult time. I worked with her at Community Action when I started my career in social work. She taught me so much about the work we did, but also inspired me with her wit and wisdom! She was a great friend and mentor and I am saddened at her passing, but take comfort knowing she is at peace.
