She was born in the home her father built, and it was her wish to end her days there. She passed away in her bedroom surrounded by three generations of devoted family. Left to cherish her memory are her loving son, Joseph A. Moore, loving daughter and care-giver, Jayne L. Grabowski and her husband, Chuck Grabowski of Haddonfield, loving son and care-giver, Kevin L. Moore and his partner Ed Davenport of Pennsauken, loving grand-daughter and care-giver, Carly Grabowski Michaelis and her husband, Jason Michaelis, who cared for Sarah as if she was his grand-mother, loving grand-son Chas Grabowski and his fiancé Ashley McCarty, loving grand-daughter, Sarah Grabowski Brees and her husband Steve Brees and loving grand-son, Bobby Grabowski. Also left to cherish her memory are her adored great-grandchildren who helped feed her and kept her covered in kisses, Jayne Michaelis, Carson Michaelis and Nathan Michaelis She is also survived by a son, Robert O Moore, Jr. of Haddon Twp.
Sarah Jane was born and raised in the home her father built and left to her when he passed away, when she was only 9 years old. She lost her brother when she was 15 years old, and vowed to stay by her mother, which she did until her mother passed away. Sarah was a devoted member of the First Presbyterian Church of Haddonfield, where she taught Sunday School for many years. Some of her happiest days were her four years at Haddonfield Memorial High School where she graced the halls with her sweet smile and kindness toward everyone. She was a proud graduate of the class of 1944. At five foot two with eyes of blue, she caught the eye of Haddonfield plumber, Bob Moore, and they were married in 1948. They had four children together and were married 55 years until his passing in 2003. They enjoyed many trips to Ocean City together in their "golden years". Sarah had been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s, and therefore never had to know about the loss of her devoted husband. Her children and grand-children that she had loved and had done everything for through the years, dedicated themselves to her care. It was a long and arduous journey, with many beautiful memories along with the sad ones. She will always be remembered as a lovely lady, with a kind and generous nature, who had an enormous love for her town of Haddonfield and her family. She adored her children, and lovingly welcomed grand-children and then great grand-children. She always had an endless supply of hugs and kisses. She was still kissing us up to the end.
The family would like to extend a heartfelt thank-you to anyone along the way that helped in our mother/grand-mother's care, or simply remembered her in a kind way. It will never be forgotten.
