Tom Estes
Cynthia Florine Moore passed away March 11, 2026, at the age of 72 years into the arms of her Savior. Cynthia was born August 7, 1953 in Corpus Christi, TX to Bryan & Martha Noble Moore. She is preceded in death by her parents and her sister, Judy Lynn Moore.
Cynthia’s journey of resilience began in college following a traumatic car accident; the resulting head injury forced her to rebuild her life from the ground up. With the love and support of her parents, she relearned how to walk, talk, and regain the ability of feeding and dressing herself. She overcame many obstacles and was able to have a long life of independence. The last few years, Cynthia struggled with health issues, but she did so with very few complaints, and when anyone would ask her how she was doing, her answer was always “FABULOUS!” with a ready smile on her face and in her voice.
Cynthia had long been a devoted member of the Azle Church of Christ, a steady presence through the years. Those who knew her witnessed how readily she spoke of her beliefs, never hesitant to share what Jesus meant to her. Each day brought opportunities for her to offer to pray with those around her. Whether on the phone with someone or crossing paths in person, she would pause whatever she was doing to pray with them, her response immediate and genuine. Her care extended beyond these moments as well. Cynthia made it her practice to send encouraging words and messages to others on a daily basis. She had an unwavering belief that God had carried her through and would continue to do so.
Cynthia was very outgoing and never met a stranger. She possessed a remarkable ability to make each person feel unique, as though they were the sole focus of her attention. In every place she visited, be it a restaurant or a store, Cynthia had a knack for forging connections with hostesses, wait staff, and clerks, alike.
While growing up on their farm in Kingsville, Texas, Cynthia’s younger brother, Philip, has many fond memories of Cynthia, and their two sisters, Judy & Martha Gail, working hard, doing farm chores, and enjoying a busy family with four women and all their many activities, and being the only boy to three sisters, he and his dad just trying to keep up.
Cynthia has always had an adventurous spirit and felt very blessed to have created lasting memories exploring Europe and discovering various parts of the USA. She was able to live in Manhattan, New York; New Jersey; Seattle, Washington, among other places, before returning to her beloved Texas and making her home in North Texas.
Cynthia studied at Kilgore College in Kilgore, Texas, where she was a member of the renowned Kilgore College Rangerette Dance-Drill team. Estab. In 1940, this team is celebrated as the “world’s best-known collegiate drill team,” recognized for their signature high kicks and impressive performances at notable events such as the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade and the Cotton Bowl.
Throughout her life, Cynthia embraced a variety of roles. She began as a farmer’s daughter, later transitioned to working as a fashion model, and also served as a hostess-receptionist for the chamber of commerce. During the oil boom years, she took on the role of a receptionist for an oil company. Later she joined the staff of a pharmacy, where she kept the workplace running smoothly and ensured that customers received prompt attention. Beyond that, she worked as a caregiver alongside her mom and later on her own, dedicating many years to taking care of others.
Cynthia is survived by her brother, Philip Moore of Pueblo, Co., Martha Moore of Austin, TX & India, her church family members and many close friends. She is also survived by the McGee family - Judy, Cliff, & Jacob - who loved her dearly and treated her as one of their own.
Cynthia will be deeply missed, but forever remembered for the love she gave and the light she brought to the lives around her.
A celebration of life will be held at 2:00 PM on Saturday, March 21, at the Azle Church of Christ, 336 NW Pkwy., Azle, TX 76020. Visitation will be held one hour prior at 1:00 PM. In lieu of flowers, the family requests memorial donations be made to the Azle Church of Christ, where she was a faithful member and found great joy in her spiritual home.
In celebration of Cynthia, please feel free to wear a splash of purple – her favorite color – as we gather to remember her. A purple accessory or ribbon is a wonderful way to join in this tribute.
