Memorials to the Animal Shelter of Linn County.
George ("Sonny") Moore, the only child of Lloyd Weaver and Marian Saffarrans Moore was born in Hannibal, MO on October 2, 1928. He led a lively life growing up in Palmyra, was graduated from Hannibal High School, and went off to Mizzou as an agriculture student and to play football for Don Faurot's Tigers.
During World War II, he enlisted in the US Navy where he kept the engines in good repair for the Navy's pilots. At the end of his enlistment he returned to Missouri where he met Betty Jean Smith of Chula, MO. They were married on February 23, 1952 and George went to work with Betty's family doing farming and raising turkeys; oh, there were so many turkeys!
George and Betty had three children, Deborah Jean, John Weaver, and Shawn Alexander and his occupation turned to providing for his larger family by moving into the ag chemical field. He worked in Missouri and Florida and returned to the Palmyra area where he retired from ag chemicals and managed the storied Bay de Charles Men's Club for several years.
He and Betty divorced and several years later he met Mary Ellen Van Ever Cooren at a dance. They fell in love at first dance and danced their way through a long and happy life. They were married on December 24, 1973 and began a wonderful, amazing adventure living first in the wilderness of Alaska as professional hunters, fisher folk, fur trappers and gold miners. The stories they tell of their lives together are ones that would make a great tv reality series.
They have lived all over the northwest United States hired to protect domestic animal herds by hunting and trapping predator animals. They have the furs and taxidermied animals to prove it, lining their A-Frame at the Lake of the Ozarks, which was their base for the rest of their lives. George lived for opening of deer season with family in Linn County and to hunt, trap, and fish every opportunity he could at the Lake. Mary predeceased him on July 12, 2012.
He was preceded in death by his parents, his daughter, Deborah Jean Moore, his son John Weaver Moore, and Betty Moore.
