Laura A. Moore, age 56, of Pemberville, passed away Monday morning, June 28, 2021 at Hospice of Northwest Ohio, Perrysburg. She was born on February 24, 1965 in Toledo, OH to Lawrence and Eileen (Shallo) Bostwick. She was part of the 1983 graduating Class at Central Catholic High School, and later received her Bachelor’s Degree with honors in Biology from the University of Toledo. On February 29, 1992 she married James A. (Jamie) Moore at St. Paul Lutheran Church in New Rochester, OH. Laura and Jamie have raised 4 children and celebrated over 29 years of marriage together.
When she wasn’t a full-time homemaker, Laura worked outside the home. Early in her career she was an assistant manager at Burger King, and then worked at Churchill’s Grocery, both in Bowling Green. She then concentrated on caring for the home and raising the children, before joining the retail team at Target Department Store. She loved teaching and guiding children, helping with Vacation Bible School and Sunday School teaching at St. Paul’s.
Laura enjoyed the outdoors, going on nature walks in various gardens, zoos, woods and parks, and an occasional canoe ride. She loved photography, art and jigsaw puzzles; she also enjoyed history and art museums, live shows (particularly comedy), movies, putt-putt golf, and stargazing with her girls. She enjoyed going to school music performances with Jamie, and she was fond of folk music, classic soft rock, and acoustic guitar. Her greatest pastime was her family and spending time with her children.
In addition to her husband Jamie, Laura is survived by her daughters: Brianna (Thomas) Gaetano of TN, Jenna Moore of Fairborn, OH and Kalee Moore of Pemberville. Mother: Eileen Bostwick of Bowling Green and sister: Diana (Randy) Stone of TX. She was preceded in death by a son, Tyler Moore and her father, Lawrence Bostwick.
