“Went to heaven to sing and play the organ in Our Lord's choir on Sunday, Feb. 7, 1999. She celebrated her 90th birthday in this world on Jan. 31, 1999, and will be in heaven to celebrate her husband's birthday there on Feb. 9.
A native of Chicago, she was born to an Irish father and a French Canadian mother. She was schooled in the Midwest and showed talent, early on, in music and voice. She gave her first voice recital at age 10. Later, she sang commercials on the radio for the Henry B. Co. As a teenager, she played the piano in the sheet music department of local stores. Her voice coach was Madame Schumann-Heink in Iowa, and she spent a summer with the Burtus Opera Company.
Her marriage to S.A. "Dick" Lytle resulted in moving to Clinton, where his work with the Soil Conservation Service led them. In 1939, she began teaching, providing music, voice and kindergarten classes for more than 1,500 parish youth during her 33-year career. She was the organist and choirmaster of Andrew's Episcopal Church for 30 years. Many of her students played the organ for their churches in the parish. She was the adult leader of "The Dixie Six Jazz Band" in Clinton in the '50s. She provided many opportunities for the local youth to play piano, sing and be in music bands and develop their talents.
After retirement, she turned from music to painting and became one of East Feliciana's talented artists, painting scenes she remembered of the early South when she first arrived in the late '30s. One of her well-known paintings hangs in the St. Jude Affiliate Clinic in Baton Rouge. She continued her musical career by being organist for Zion Lutheran Church in Clinton.
She is preceded in death by her parents, George and Margaret Jones Blacker; her husband of 53 years, and a brother, Lionel, who lived in Detroit.
Survivors included her two daughters, Sheila Lytle Moore, M.D. of Zachary, and Sharon Lytle Hoffeld of Baton Rouge; grandchildren, Richard M. Moore III and wife Sheryl DeMetz of Zachary; Rachael Hoffeld Norsworthy and husband Joel of Baton Rouge, Scott Lytle Hoffeld and wife Molly Distefano of Baton Rouge, and Charles Lytle Moore and wife Renee Willcut of Slaughter; and great-grandchildren, Margot, Mack and Zach Moore, Katie and Eric Norsworthy, Ryan, Alexandra, Victoria and Jacob Moore and Amelia Frances Hoffeld.
Pallbearers will be Richard M. Moore III, Charles Lytle Moore, Scott Lytle Hoffeld, Jerry Davidson, Zach Hatcher and Hollis "Bubby" Jackson. Visiting was at Charlet Funeral Home Inc.,Clinton, 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. Wednesday. Visiting at Zion Lutheran Church, 8:30 a.m. until religious services at 10 a.m. Thursday, conducted by the Rev. Gary Petersen. Interment in Masonic Cemetery. Memorial donations may be made to St. Jude Children'sResearch Hospital.”
