Mary was born February 7, 1936, in Grant Township, IA, to Elmer and Ada (Chambers) Chambers. She married Gerald Moore on April 2, 1955.
Mary worked as a Claims Adjustor for AIG for more than 20 years, retiring in 2004. She was awarded a Perfect Attendance Certificate and was well loved by her coworkers.
She enjoyed crocheting and sewing, making everything from afghans to clothing. She was a great baker and well known for her chocolate chip cookies. Mary also liked to garden, both flowers and vegetables. In her down time, Mary spent many hours doing crossword puzzles and spending time with her sisters shopping and gambling. Most of all, Mary loved to babysit and spoil her grandchildren, always sending them home full of cookies.

She was preceded in death by her husband, Gerald Moore; father, Elmer Harvey Chambers; mother, Ada Arzana Chambers; brothers, Harvey Chambers, Wayne Chambers, Ray Chambers; sisters, Lucille Anna Keller, Betty J Schneider.
The family will receive friends from 1 - 2 pm Sunday, March 3, 2019, at Westover Funeral Home in Des Moines. Contributions may be made to the Senior Suites of Urbandale. Online condolences will be welcomed at IlesCares.com.
