Anne Moore Findlay, Ohio Obituary

Anne Moore

<p>Anne Moore (nee Norrie), mother of five, granny to nine, and great-granny to one, died on Friday, March 10, 2023 at the age of 85.</p><p>Known to her family as “Hurricane Granny,” Anne was born in Cowie, Stirlingshire, Scotland in 1938. The daughter of John Norrie and Catherine Norrie (nee Lavin), Anne attended St. Margaret’s Primary School in Cowie, where she received the first dux medal bestowed by the school. She graduated from St. Modan’s High School in Stirling, Scotland, where she played on the field hockey team. Anne immigrated to the United States in 1957 at the age of 19. She met her surviving husband, Hugh (born Motherwell, Scotland) at a soccer match in Brooklyn, and they were married in 1961. Anne considered the family’s 1965 move to Findlay, Ohio to be the most important decision of their lives. Anne was active in the St. Michael Church and School community, and she was an avid bridge player participating in numerous bridge clubs throughout her time in Findlay. In the 1970s, Anne also helped start the girls soccer program in Findlay. She worked as a manager at Quality Farm and Fleet, but her favorite job was being Hurricane Granny to her nine grandchildren.</p><p>She is survived by her husband, Hugh Moore, her brothers John Norrie and Patrick Norrie, her sisters Antonia Norrie and Bernadette Price, her five children – John Moore (Fort Mitchell, Kentucky), Catherine Hopley (Findlay, Ohio), Robert Moore (Wilmington, NC), Bernadette Doe (Findlay, Ohio), Anne (“Annie”) Moore (Alexandria, Virginia), and her nine grandchildren.</p><p>Visitation will be held on Tuesday, March 14, 2023 from 2:00 – 4:00 &amp; 6:00 – 8:00 PM at COLDREN-CRATES FUNERAL HOME where the Rosary will be recited at 7:30 PM. A Mass of Christian burial will begin at 10:00 AM on Wednesday, March 15, 2023 at St. Michael the Archangel Catholic Church, 750 Bright Road, Findlay. Burial will follow in the parish cemetery.
