Beatrice Louise Moore, 88, of Newcastle, died Monday, February 17, 2014, in Norman. The daughter of Horace and Lillie (Elchyzen) Troutt, she was born January 1, 1926, in Mexia, Texas.

Beatrice, known as "Bea" by many of her friends, became a Christian at the age of 16 at Glad Tidings Assembly in Oklahoma City. A short while later, she met a black-headed preacher named L.D. Moore at an open-air meeting. They were married on November 5, 1944. The Moores evangelized throughout many states, and pastored several churches. Behind L.D. Moore's ministry was a quiet lady who supported him with her prayers, good works, and love. In later years, she was a member of the Trinity Holiness Church in Blanchard, OK. Besides her lifetime involvement in church work, Beatrice enjoyed sewing, ceramics, vegetable gardening, and was a wonderful cook.

She was preceded in death by her parents; her husband, Reverend Lester Dean Moore; two grandchildren; one great grandchild; and her three sisters, Ann Martin, Barbara Cunningham, and Beulah Spence.
