Zelda Jones Moore, 103, passed away at Spirit Mountain Hospice in Cody, Wyoming, Monday morning May 8, 2017. She was born January 26, 1914 in Byron, Wyoming to Oscar Seth Jones and Estella Johnson Jones. She was the 4th child in a family of nine siblings.
She was the last one of all of the siblings to pass away, having lived a long and wonderfully joyful life. She grew up in Byron and at an early age began working at various jobs to support herself and help provide for her family. She worked at the bean mill in Powell and for various families, including Lloyd and Louise Taggart, helping with the children and doing odd jobs around the homes. This provided her with enough money to help buy a home for her own family when that time came. She met Louis E. Moore at a dance he was playing for and they married April 4, 1936. They were the parents of four children; Seth Louis, Molly Renee, Doran Jody and Wendy Kolleen. She was an excellent seamstress, made beautiful draperies, loved to cook, and was a special mother and grandmother. She was involved in sewing clubs, extension clubs, community concert ticket sales and Latter Day Saint couples missions. She served many jobs in the church including primary teacher and Relief Society counselor and teacher. In the last years of her life she made dozens of winter hats for children in need and all of the grandchildren. She was especially known for and well-loved for her humor and wit. She and Louis had been able to travel far and wide to Spain, Morraco, England, and Hawaii. They also loved to take their camper and drive through the states to stay in Arizona for the winters with Doran and his family.
They really enjoyed being able to load up a pack of grandkids and take them camping or picnicking. She is survived by her daughter and son-in-law Renee and Walter Hibbert, her son and daughter-in-law Doran Jody and Silvia Moore and Wendy’s sons Tim Eagler and Tylor Waters, 15 grandchildren, 38 great grand children and 6 great great grandchildren. She was very proud of her five generation genealogy sheets. She is also survived by numerous nieces and nephews she felt very close to. She will always be known as “Zazoo” or “Granny zoo” by all the little children. Zelda died with peace of mind, heart and soul. She contributed to the lives of others with her laughter and love for which she will always be remembered.
