Margaret Ann Moore Obituary - Visitation & Funeral Information

Margaret Ann Moore, 73, passed from this earthly life the evening of Sunday, December 6, 2020, surrounded by family. Maggie was born in Brady, Texas, to Harvey Clinton Pirtle and Lucile Slaughter Pirtle. She graduated Norman High School in 1965 and married Gary B. Moore on August 8, 1966, in Norman, Oklahoma. She had three children while they worked and lived in South Carolina. In 1978, the family packed up to move closer to family and settled in Granbury, Texas where they continued raising their children. Maggie worked many years for Granbury ISD as an elementary school secretary. She and Gary divorced in 1992. At the age of 45, she started college at Tarleton State University where she earned her nursing degree in 1994. Ann worked as an RN serving the people of Central Texas for more than 21 years at Goodall Witcher Hospital, then Hillcrest Hospital, and later for Baylor Scott & White Hospital in Temple, Texas. Ann was a devout Christian and loved the Lord. She shared the gospel with her children, grandchildren, and those she came in contact with throughout her life even serving as a missionary in Afghanistan in early 2001. She was an ardent supporter for the Right to Life and served as a volunteer at Hope Pregnancy Center in Killeen, Texas. She was a member of Memorial Baptist Church and attended many years of Bible Study Fellowship classes pursuing God and exploring and discussing His Word in community with other women of faith. She was passionate about her faith, her country, and her family. Although life dealt her many struggles and personal difficulty, she leaned on Christ to give her strength in all things. In Christ alone my hope is found He is my light, my strength, my song This cornerstone, this solid ground Firm through the fiercest drought and storm What heights of love, what depths of peace When fears are stilled, when strivings cease My comforter, my all in all Here in the love of Christ I stand In Christ alone who took on flesh Fullness of God in helpless babe This gift of love and righteousness Scorned by the ones He came to save Till on that cross as Jesus died The wrath of God was satisfied For every sin on Him was laid Here in the death of Christ I live There in the ground His body lay Light of the world by darkness slain Then bursting forth in glorious day Up from th grave He rose again And as He stands in victory Sin’s curse has lost its grip on me For I am His and He is mine Bought with the precious blood of Christ No guilt in life, no fear in death This is the power of Christ in me From life’s first cry to final breath Jesus commands my destiny No power of hell, no scheme of man Can every pluck me from His hand Till He returns or calls me home Here in the power of Christ I’ll stand Songwriters: Keith Getty/Stuart Townend Margaret Ann was preceded in death by her parents Harvey and Lucile Pirtle; niece Melissa Arter; brother-in-law Gerald Pinnell.
