Tomazine Moore

Tomazine Moore, 93, died Monday, December 30, 2019, at her daughter's home in Florissant, Missouri, due to long-term complications from a stroke. She was born June 29, 1926 in Cash, Arkansas to the late George and Hattie Harris.

To the union of her first marriage to Warren G. Fisher, Sr., who preceded her in death in 1961, God blessed her with nine children; six daughters and three sons.  She was united in holy matrimony to Robert Moore on February 24, 1979, who also preceded her in death. To that union was born two children; one daughter and one son.

Following the death of her husband, Robert Moore, in March, 2013, Tomazine moved to Florissant Missouri where she resided with her daughter, Barbara Evans, until her death on December 30, 2019.

Tomazine knew and loved the Lord.  She was a long-term member of Mercy Seat Missionary Baptist Church in Charleston, Missouri. She attended church faithfully before she was afflicted with blindness that left her unable to do so on a regular basis.  Even then she supported the church in whatever way she could.

During Tomazine’s life-time, her hobby was buying and selling at flea markets.  She worked a number of jobs to support her family.  She was the “head housekeeper” at the Shangri-La Hotel, in Sikeston, Missouri, for a number of years.  She was a “trained meat cutter” and worked at the Crenshaw Meat Packing Plant, in Charleston, Missouri, for many years.  If you asked her what her proudest accomplishment was she would tell you it was her 11 children, who she loved dearly and she always supported them with her whole heart and soul.

In addition to her parents and her two husbands, she is preceded in death by five sisters and brothers, her step-father, Eddie Eddington, a nephew, Verlee Ruff, whom she raised from a child.

She leaves to cherish her fond memories 11 children, Martha (Richard) Murray of Charleston, Missouri, Earlene (Alphonzo) Thomas of Kew Gardens, New York, Earl (Sequila) Fisher of San Antonio, Texas, Jarlene Cooper of Charleston, Missouri, Hattie (Leon) West of Sikeston, Missouri, Paulette (Jeff) Williams of Ft. Wayne, Indiana, Warren G. (Geraldine) Fisher, Jr. of Charleston, Missouri, Barbara (George) Evans of Florissant, Missouri, Harry Fisher of Charleston, Missouri, Brenda (Thomas) Wiley and Gregory (Ruby) Moore all of Ft. Wayne, Indiana; 35 grandchildren, a host of great grandchildren, and a special lifelong friend, Margaret Jefferson of Flint, Michigan, and other relatives and friends.

Friends may call Saturday, January 4, 2020 from 11:00 A.M. until the funeral hour of 12:00 noon at  Mercy Seat Missionary Baptist Church in Charleston, Missouri with Pastor Arthur Cassell officiating.

Interment will follow in Oak Grove Cemetery in Charleston, Missouri with the Williams Funeral Home of Charleston in charge of arrangements.
