Mary lived her life to the fullest. She loved her work, traveling, cooking, quilting, and spending time at the beach. Mary & Tom loved fly fishing for bonefish, where she turned into a bow hog much to Tom’s delight. She was always up for a party and never missed an opportunity to host her family and friends. The greatest joy in her life was her family. She enjoyed visiting with her siblings and catching up on the lives of her nieces and nephews. She treasured the time she spent with her children and their spouses. Mary, also known as Bubby by her grandchildren, always cherished her time with each of them; watching them play sports, dance, at their school performances, doing puzzles, and being together at the lake.

She is survived by her husband, Tom Moore of Houston; children, Sam Moore and his wife, Janna Moore of Houston, Matthew Moore and his wife, Ashley Moore of Tomball, Grace Laird and her husband, Jim Laird of Tomball; grandchildren Sam Moore Junior, Max Moore, Emma Moore, Brady Moore, Paige Laird, Kate Laird, and Mary Elizabeth Laird; her siblings, Guy Wallace and sister in law, Sandy Wallace of Tomball, Janet Deschamps and brother in law, Rodney Deschamps of Cypress, Carol Einkauf and brother in law, Bob Einkauf of Cypress; plus numerous nieces, nephews, great nieces & nephews that she loved dearly.
