Theresa “Joann” Moore, 83, passed away June 4, 2020, surrounded by her family. She was born January 26, 1937 in Knottsville to the late Forrest and Mary Wathen. Joann was an active member of St. Stephen Cathedral for many years, where she enjoyed singing in the choir. She also enjoyed going on trips overseas with her church family. Joann was a skilled cook and gardener, an avid card player, and named one the best roller-skaters in 1956 at Owensboro’s roller-skating rink. More than anything, Joann loved her life, and loved to spend time and laugh with her family and friends. She thought the world of her children and grandchildren, and they thought the world of her too; she will be missed by all who knew her.
Joann was preceded in death by her sisters, Mary Helen Roberts and Louise Gough; and her brothers, Manny Wathen and Robert Wathen.
She is survived by her husband of 66 years, Gilbert “Gil” Moore; her children, Sabrina (Mark) Autry of Sumter, SC, Tonya Becker, of Owensboro, Kim (David) Webb of Ormond Beach, FL, and Nick (Michele) Moore, of Owensboro; her grandchildren, Brenden and Justin Autry, Aarika Moore, Andy, Alex, and Adam Webb, and Devyn, Nicole, and Owen Moore; her 5 great-grandchildren; and her sisters, Charlsetta Conkright and Celine Kenny.
