Alice Ann Moore

Alice Ann Moore “Weasie” age 92, of Perryville, Arkansas, passed away peacefully on Wednesday, December 18, 2024. She was born on November 11, 1932, to her parents, the late Mylie Davis and Annie Stillman Davis Weasie kept her life simple. Not from a lack of capability or understanding, in fact those closest to her would describe her as nothing less than one of the sharpest women they knew, but because it allowed her to focus on the things that brought her happiness. Love, Family, and Music. A trip to her house on any given day would catch her amidst her favorite activities. Reading, cooking, or visiting. A visit to her house meant a full belly, another story, and likely several moments of pleasant silence as she rocked and thought about what to say next. She loved words and chose them carefully when she spoke, rarely rushing into conversation, but waiting until she found the right question to ask. An avid reader, her sensibilities could be found in the books she loved; stories and narratives of small towns with close-knit relationships that echoed what she surrounded herself with. Family, chosen, or blood. Married on September 17, 1948, to David Moore, her and his was a relationship that once formed was the foundation for their lives. Easily described as the thinker to his charm- they started several businesses together, including a trucking company in California that ultimately became so successful they had to sell it and then used the money to move back to Arkansas. There, they had a dairy farm together, raised and sold hay, and of course, had a garden. Gardening was one of her greatest pleasures. Ask any of her children and they can relate stories of working in the field alongside her and the joy she found in the work. Hers was the soul of a grower, a true daughter of the soil, and she never felt more at home than with her feet touching the ground and surrounded by the green of her garden. It represented what she really was, a caretaker. In the 80s, she became certified as a CNA, working first at the Perryville Nursing Home before going private and working with the terminally ill in their homes until she retired in the 90s. Though an often-grueling job, she found peace by offering care to others in the hardest times of their lives. Of all the things she loved, family was the dearest and when they think of her, they will remember times gathered around a piano or guitar, singing Christmas carols together. They will remember holiday meals, simple compliments, and a fiercely loving person who counted the moments before she could hold her next grandbaby. She will be missed. She leaves behind a son, Danny (Janie) Moore; daughter, Debra Courtney; brothers, Darrell Davis and Keith Davis; sister, Martha Strong; nephew, Ron Davis; and several grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Other than her parents and husband, she was preceded in death by her daughter, Julie Moore and brother, Jerry Dale Davis. A private service will be at a later date.
