Myrtle Moore's Obituary
Myrtle was a resident of Tulsa since 1964. She worked as an RN at St. Francis Hospital for nearly 30 years until her retirement in 1998. She was a phenomenal cook, avid reader, and enjoyed decorating her home. She loved babies and adored her grandchildren. She loved her family fiercely and was a kind, gentle, Southern lady.
Beloved mother, grandmother, sister, and aunt, Frances Myrtle Moore was the fifth of ten children, born on May 1, 1933, in Davis Station, South Carolina. She was preceded in death by her husband Shane Moore, parents, Horace and Maggie Ridgeway, and siblings Leo Ridgeway, Edward Dennis, Sadie Ward, Rounette Lacewell, Cleveland Ridgeway, Mary Garris, and James Ridgeway.
Myrtle is survived by her four children: Michael Moore of Tulsa, OK, Kevin Moore of Tulsa, OK, Douglas (Samantha) Moore of Claremore, OK, and Susan (Stephen) Gerson of Greenwich, CT. Two granddaughters: Jordan (Aaron) Prather of Skiatook, OK, and Shawna (Jesse) Malloy of Tulsa, OK. Three grandsons: Gregory Moore of Tulsa, OK, Jameson Gerson of Greenwich, CT, and Blaine Gerson of Greenwich, CT. One great grandson, Ash Malloy of Tulsa, OK, who was born last month, and whom she sadly was never able to meet because of the China Virus infection that took her life. Two sisters: Mrs. Dot Rucker of Beaufort, SC, and Mrs. Carolyn Minner of Marietta, GA. And many nieces and nephews who loved her dearly.
