Jessie Sue Moore

 

Don’t grieve for me for now I’m free,

I’m following the path God laid for me

I took his hand when I heard him call,

I turned my back and left it all

I could not stay another day,

To laugh, to love, to work or play

Tasks left undone must stay that way,

I’ve found that peace at the close of day

If my parting has left a void,

Then fill it with remembered joy

A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss,

Ah yes, these things I too will miss

Be not burdened with times of sorrow,

I wish for you the sunshine of tomorrow

My life’s been full, I’ve savored much,

Good friends, good times, my loved one’s touch

If my time seemed all too brief,

Don’t lengthen it now with undue grief

Lift up your heart, rejoice with me,

God wanted me now, He set me free.

 

 

In loving memory, we celebrate the life of Jessie Sue Moore, who passed away on May 31, 2026, after a courageous battle with serious health issues related to diabetes and heart failure. Jessie was born on August 30, 1977, in Overton, Texas, to Jewel Marie Herrin and Jesse Elbert Carter Jr., who both predeceased her. She was also predeceased by her beloved grandmother, Emma Elizabeth Herrin, and brother, Billy John Mobley.

 

Jessie's family was the cornerstone of her life, and she leaves behind a legacy of love and laughter. She is survived by her devoted children, Cherish Kylee Moore and Carter Anthony Moore, who were her greatest pride and joy. Her caring spirit lives on in her sisters, Beth Goodwin of Alvin, Texas, and Terri Onderdonck and her husband, Eric Kincel, of Chireno, Texas. She is also remembered by her stepbrothers, Grady Mobley and wife Juanita, and Bertis Mobley, along with her many nieces and nephews, including Dalton Bass and his wife Jazmyn and their children Destery, Charlotte, and Liam of Nacogdoches, Derrick Goodwin and wife Morgan of Sugarland, Jewel Bass, Allison Bass, of Nacogdoches, Karlee Carter and husband Trevor and children Cody and Leonidas, and Emiliegh Kincel and her daughter Avery, all of Kirbyville. Jessie is also survived by her estranged spouse, Wendell Moore of Center, Texas, and numerous cousins and extended family members who will feel her absence deeply.

 

A proud member of New Hope Church in Alvin, Texas, Jessie found solace and community within its walls. Her faith was a guiding force in her life, and she drew strength from her deep love of Christ. Her church family played an integral role in supporting her through her health challenges, offering prayers, assistance, and companionship.

 

Jessie was a woman of remarkable warmth and humor, known for her infectious laughter and kind heart. She had a talent for making those around her feel cherished and valued. Her daughter, Cherish, fondly remembers their long talks and cherished advice, while her son, Carter, honors her as a great lady whose memory he will hold dear.

 

In her free time, Jessie delighted in the simple pleasures of life. She was an avid reader and enjoyed the escapism of B-grade movies, often accompanied by a cozy diamond art project or an engaging audiobook. But above all, her greatest joy was her children, for whom she lived and loved with every fiber of her being.

 

A memorial service to honor Jessie's life will be held on June 6, 2026, at 11:00 AM at New Hope Church, located at 221 South Gordon Street, Alvin, Texas 77511. The family extends their heartfelt gratitude to Dr. Amy Stoneman and Dr. Eugene Harper for their exceptional care and kindness, treating Jessie with dignity and friendship. Additionally, they thank the members of New Hope Church for their unwavering support, both in prayers and practical assistance.

 

As we gather to celebrate Jessie's life, we remember her as a beacon of light and love. Her memory will forever be etched in the hearts of all who knew her, and her spirit will continue to inspire us to live with grace, humor, and unyielding love.

 

The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.

 

2 He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.

 

3 He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.

 

4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.

 

5 Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.

 

6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.
