Clementine Moore

Mrs. Clementine Moore, born August 13, 1935, in Greenburg, Louisiana, to David Ricks Sr. and Beatrice Johnson Ricks, passed away at her residence on September 16, 2023, while surrounded by family. Age 88 years. She was a resident of Saginaw, Michigan.

Mrs. Moore accepted Jesus as her Lord and Savior at an early age. She and Robert Moore were married on October 10, 1976. Clementine, a soft-spoken woman, enjoyed preparing Sunday dinner and being around her children and grandchildren, joking and making them laugh. She would call them on the phone, and it seemed as though she would talk all day and night. Mrs. Moore always shared words of wisdom. She was a member of the Mother’s Board at Mt. Moriah Baptist Church where she served under the leadership of Pastor Johnie F. Edwards. Mother Moore enjoyed Bible Study and Mission meetings. Clementine and her husband loved road trips to visit relatives in Mississippi, Louisiana, and Waterloo, Iowa. She will be greatly missed.

Mrs. Moore leaves to cherish loving memories her husband, Reverend Robert Moore; three daughters and four sons, Glenda (Maxie) Roby, Lovell Baston, James (Tamara) Prince, Jerry (Shirley) Prince, Marvin Prince, Elaine (Fredrick) Davis, and Timmie (LaJuan) Prince; six stepchildren, Dennis (Reatha Moore), Darrel (Racheal) Moore, Olando (Doris) Moore, Tyrone (Latrece) Moore, Marcia (James) Miller, Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and Stephaine Moore, DeMoines, Iowa; 31 grandchildren, 80 great-grandchildren, eight great-great-grandchildren; one sister, Celestine Jackson, Houston, Texas; one brother, David Ricks Jr., Hammond, Louisiana; many nieces, nephews, and cousins, too numerous to list; nine sisters-in-law, Audrey, Lillie Mae, and Shirley Ricks, Dorothy Hutchinson, Linda Payne, Lille Moore, Rosemary Wells, Bonnye Vangenuchten, and Benita Altekruse; four brothers-in-law, Hugh, Rosevelt, Freddie, and John Moore; three godchildren, NeKeibra Harrison, Karendia Randle and a special godson, Superintendent Darrick Granison; many other relatives and friends including special friends, Ocie Montgomery, and Bertha Anderson.
