Pamela Turner Moore

Pam Moore was born January 29, 1951 in Hamlin, TX to Olan Wyatt and Letha Merle Turner. Her brother, Jay Turner, was three years older. Her formative years were spent on a farm outside of Friona, TX. The family enjoyed many road trips through Texas to visit family and went often to Colorado to enjoy the mountains. She enjoyed playing basketball, riding motorcycles, and being with friends. She graduated from Friona High School.

In 1973, Pam graduated from Texas Tech University with a Bachelor’s degree in Microbiology and a minor in Chemistry. She went on to work at John Peter Smith Hospital in Fort Worth and the University of Texas Health Science Center in Dallas. She eventually went on to work in real estate for over 30 years.

She and Pat met at their apartment complex in Dallas in 1974. They married on July 3, 1976 at a Turtle Creek Park in Dallas. The couple lived in Dallas for 7 years, Euless for 3 years, and 34 years at their home in Southlake. They would have been married 44 years this July.

Pam was an excellent cook who specialized in breakfast, fried pies, cherry pies, cobblers, and everything else. There was always plenty of food, but everyone was expected to eat what was served and enjoy it. Lance has fond memories of her banana pudding, Pat savored her roasts, and L’erin enjoyed her salmon patties.

As a Mom, she thoroughly enjoyed playing games, taking vacations, going on the boat, and anything FUN! As a grandmother she was known as Mazzie. She was a thrilling grandmother who loved snuggles, playing Monster, having nerf gun fights, and making yummy treats. As a wife, she enjoyed going out to eat, going to the beach, and spending time with family. With friends, she liked to travel, play Bunco, and attend book club.

She loved Jesus and spent many years learning more about the Bible, hosting Bible studies, and praying for those around her. She pursued a deeper relationship with Jesus and encouraged others to do the same.

Pam lived her life with all her cards on the table; you always knew how she felt about something. She never held back and she challenged those around her to be better. While this could be difficult at times, it was part of what everyone loved and admired about her. She was loving and caring and, at times, she could seemingly move Heaven and Earth for anyone she cared about. Pam filled every room and every heart. Her expansive presence while living was always felt, and missed all the more with her passing.

She was preceded in death by her mother (2013), father (2015), and brother (2015). She is survived by her husband Pat, son Lance, daughter L’erin; grandchildren Zaighlor, Benjamin, Elijah; and their cat Pancho.

She passed at 1:30 PM at Baylor Scott & White Hospital in Grapevine on June 11, 2020 with Pat, Lance and L’erin by her side.
