Helen T Moore

Helen Theresa Moore, age 79 was born on October 12, 1946 to Hugh and Helen Simpson in Ashville, NC and went to be with God peacefully on March 15, 2026 at home.

Hugh and Helen moved to Columbus, OH with their children early in Helen's life. She was a graduate of Linden McKinley High School and went on to college at CTI, now Columbus State University with a degree in Developmental Disabilities. She went on to work for the State of Ohio, Crittenton Children Services and the State Coroner's Office but her love was to sing. She sang professionally with the Lyric Supremes of Columbus, OH who traveled the highways and byways for years in a green van with the words, "We Come This Far By Faith" painted on the side. Thank you to the Lyric Supremes.

After years of singing and working, she met and married her true love, Percy Moore and from this union six children were born. She was an avid fisherman and could always be found on a shore or a boat and in our dads own words, "Happy Wife - Happy Life" and yes, she could out fish all of us. "Fish On Mom".

Wherever one of her kids or grandkids were playing, she was there (football, basketball or whatever sport it was, she was your biggest fan. Columbus Saints and Columbus Battlestars, thank you for making our mom welcomed. We can't forget the Moore Family Cookouts which usually started from Pop hustling on the side of the house and throwing something on the grill and Mom called all of the family over which turned into a full-fledge block party. At one cookout we thought mom had invited the world because everyone from Redd Fox to Sammie Davis, Jr. was there. Mrs. Helen Theresa Moore, affectionally called Ms. T. was bigger than life and was cherished by more people than we knew. An Angel has truly gone to rest.

She was preceded in death by her parents: Hugh and Helen Simpson; her sister: Annie Howard and brothers: James and William Simpson and her son: Way (Fatso) Spikes.

She leaves to cherish her memory, Husband: Percy Moore; Children: Michael (Olivia), Hugh (Lashawn), William, Angela, Percy Jr and Nicole; countless Grandchildren, many Great-Grandchildren, Brothers, Sisters, Nieces, Nephews, Cousins, Friends and a host of those who called our parents; Mom & Pop!
