An amazing cook, she worked at the Palm Grill, the Jolly Inn, and Shipley's Restaurant. The Moores and good friend, Alma Schultz, owned the Cozy Cafe; a truck stop about four miles north of town, where Helen made her famous homemade pies. Sam and Helen were members of Morgan Hill First Assembly of God Church for many years before moving to Washington. Helen is survived by her husband of 69 years, Sam Moore of Tacoma, WA, son Rod Moore of Federal Way, WA, daughter Sue Carlton of Tacoma, WA, son Ken Moore of Lebanon, OR, nine grandchildren, and twenty-one great-grandchildren.
