Louise Bostic Moore was born on January 4, 1920 in St. Charles, Arkansas to Robert Leander and Lilly McSwain Bostic.

During World War II, while George was overseas, she worked for 2 years as the Secretary to the Assistant Superintendent at the St. Louis Cartridge War Plant.
Louise and George made their home outside of Drew and farmed. Louise worked at the Merchants and Planters Bank and later retired as the Drew Deputy City Clerk. She participated in various clubs and organizations that supported her children in all their activities. She was a member of the Drew Baptist Church and after moving to Cleveland, she joined the First Baptist Church.
Louise was a lovely lady with a kind and gentle spirit. She enjoyed cooking, crafts, and church work. Most of all she enjoyed being a homemaker.
She was preceded in death by her parents, two sisters, and one brother. Her beloved husband passed away in 1988.
Surviving are her children, Diane Elliott (Bob) of Cleveland and Rev. Jack Davis Moore (Marcia) Eads, TN. She is also survived by five grandchildren Robin Elliott of Southaven, Brad Elliott (Tara) of Leland, John Mark Elliott (Emily) of Guntown, Allyson Moore Curlin (Pete) of Memphis, and Micah Moore (Kelly).
