Betty J Moore (Hartville)'s Obituary
Betty Jean (Arnall) Moore, daughter of Benjamin Harrison and Minnie Ann (Roberts) Arnall, was born May 9, 1926 in Hartville, Missouri. She departed this life in Hartville Care Center, Hartville Missouri, on November 12, 2013 at the age of eighty-seven years, six months and three days.
Born and raised in the Hartville area, Betty met and married Louie Gene Moore in 1948 in Arkansas and to this union three daughters and one son were born. The couple moved to Denver, Colorado for awhile and then to Kansas City, Missouri before settling home in Hartville, Missouri.
She is preceded in death by her daughter Ruth Gatlin, her granddaughter Tammy Moore, her great-grandchildren Erick and Ali Moore, Taylor Calton.
Betty is survived by her son Ike Moore and wife Patsy of Hartville, Missouri, her daughters Beverly Calton of Dixon, Missouri and Shelia Hazel and husband Rick of Lebanon, Missouri; her 21 grandchildren; 28 great-grandchildren; 3 great-great-grandchildren; her brother Ike Arnall and wife Judy of Hartville, Missouri.
She loved being a housewife and also worked for the Dairy Zip, cooking and caring for her neighbors. Baptized in the early 1980’s she raised her children and loved her grandchildren, giving them a strong foundation in her Lord and Savior. Betty enjoyed fishing, dancing, spending time spoiling her family with her cooking and crocheted gifts. Quick to laugh, she was a practical joker. She was the Hartville Care Center Queen, representing them as a finalist in a pageant.
A loving mother, grandma, sister, aunt and a caring neighbor and friend, Betty leaves a legacy of laughter, love and strength. We celebrate her life and accomplishments cherishing the loving memories she made for each of us. Life might not have always been easy, but she faced each moment with a smile.
Memorial contributions to the family may be made through the funeral home.
