Marie joined our Board soon after its inception and took charge of operating the art gallery. She was magic in finding volunteers and artists to become involved with us. She gained the respect of members, artists, and customers with her quiet, humble, and professional commitment.
Her dry humor and positive attitude were uplifting. Some people are born to try and save the world, but Marie saved the day, over and over again, with her simple, sensible, and sane approach to problem-solving and advancing the TLCFA’s mission. These traits made her a wonderful president and once she took the job, we wouldn’t let her quit.
She had a great sense of style, artistic flair, and creativity that led to many fun themes for parties, titles for events, and clever decorations. She also made great deviled eggs and never failed to bring them to many of our “Meet the Artist” receptions, along with hundreds of other snacks.
We honor Marie by naming our newly remodeled gallery that she so loved and managed, “The Marie Moore Gallery.”
Marie was – above all – a very humble person, so there was no gala or a big celebration. The plaque on the wall in her cherished gallery is a tribute to her memory as well as a reminder to all who visit what a difference she has made in our lives. We truly miss her.
Thanks for the memories and all you did for us, Marie.
