Jo Moore

Jo, to those who knew her well, was born on August 12, 1926 to Jesse and Lucille Barbre in Wewoka, Oklahoma. In 1944, Jo married Bill Childers and they moved to Odessa, Texas where they raised their family. She was preceded in death by Bill who left this earth far too soon after a battle with cancer. A few years after Bill’s death, Jo married Bob Moore and they moved to San Angelo, Texas. Bob also preceded Jo in death after his long battle with Alzheimer’s.

Jo was the oldest of eight children and was preceded in death by her brothers Eddie Barbre, Kenny Barbre and Bill Barbre and by sisters Gretta Snider, Nancy Barbre, and Rhea Parsons.

Mary Jo lived a rich full life of almost 97 years and leaves behind her children, Lynda Burt and her husband Don Burt, Carol Jean Wortham and Dale Childers and his wife Ann Childers. She is also survived by her sister Sue Gammons and leaves behind numerous grandchildren and great grandchildren.

Mary Jo may have been small in stature but she made up for it with her determination and quick wit. She was polite and soft spoken but never afraid to stand up for what she knew was right. Mary Jo will be missed by all who knew her.

Funeral services will be held Saturday April 8th at 10am at Johnsons Funeral Home in San Angelo, Texas.
