Glenda Moore
November 24, 1934 - June 17, 2017
Glenda Moore had lived a
full life when she passed away
in Jena, Germany, while on a
trip with her church choir family.
She was born at home near
Bridgeport, Nebraska to Albert
and Edna Hinman Davis.
Albert’s job required the family
to move frequently, living
in Nebraska, Kansas, Oklahoma,
Texas, and Wyoming before settling in Colorado. Glenda
finished high school in 1952 and was Salutatorian of her class at
Moffat County High School. She graduated with a Bachelor of
Business Administration Cum Laude from Loyola University in
Chicago in 1987.
Glenda married Bob Moore at the First Congregational Church
in Craig, Colorado on June 5, 1955. Through their marriage,
they lived in various locations including Colorado and Illinois,
while Bob continued his education. Glenda supported the family
by working in many administrative capacities at Loretto Heights
College in Denver, University of Colorado (CU) legislation liaison
office, the CU residential academic program, Mesa College,
Metro State College, and others before finally landing at Merrill
Lynch where she was supervisor of federal wire transfers when
she retired in 1995.
After Bob’s death in 1993, Glenda began fulfilling her passion
for travel abroad. She traveled to Germany many times while
her son, Paul, was stationed there. As she put it, “I was in Germany
every month of the year except for February and March”.
She also visited England, Scotland, Ireland, France, Austria,
Canada and Spain. Her final visit to Germany was with the
church choir to celebrate the 500th anniversary of Martin Luther’s
reformation.
Glenda’s love of family was obvious as her eyes lit up when
spoke of them, with the grand and great-grandchildren holding a
special place in her heart. She was such a giving person, which
led her to many volunteer positions at the First Presbyterian
Church, Heirlooms for Hospice, Community Food Bank of
Grand Junction, HOA board member, PEO officer among others.
Music was also an important part of her life, playing clarinet
and piano in high school, alto and bass recorder for groups
in Georgetown, Colorado and Grand Junction and singing in
church choirs.
Glenda was preceded in death by her husband, Robert E.
Moore and infant grandson, Christopher Moore. She is survived
by sister, Elaine DeuPree of Craig, Colorado, and sons, Mickey
Moore (Carol) of Grand Junction, Colorado and Paul Moore of
Ridgecrest, California; grandchildren, Daniel de la Corte of Denver,
Colorado; Scott (Ashley) Moore of Ogden, Utah; Ryan
(Morgan) Moore of Pilot Point, Texas; Andrea Moore of Tokyo,
Japan, and Patrick Moore of Ridgecrest, California, and greatgrandchildren,
Evelyn and Benson Moore of Ogden, Utah.
Memorial services will be held Saturday, July 8th at 11:00 a.m.
at the First Presbyterian Church in Grand Junction.
