Marsha Seale Moore

Marsha Seale Moore, 68, passed away on Wednesday, August 30, 2017.

Everyone who knew Marsha experienced the joy and vivacity she shared with the world.  Her comedic timing was always impeccable, and she could always be counted on to liven up a party.  Marsha loved passionately and well.  Her children and grandchildren were of utmost importance to her, and she loved showering them (and everyone) in gushy, smooch hugs and kisses.  As Cha-Cha (grandmother) to three grandsons, Marsha reveled in loving and playing with Eli, Ari, and Isaac.    

Marsha was also a renown cook, and her award-winning salsa is enjoyed in many circles throughout Abilene.  She was an avid lover of movies, and could always be counted on to know the best actors and directors.  Catching Marsha dancing and singing wasn’t unusual, and she loved singing with and to her grandsons.  Marsha’s love for performing and bringing light and life was shared with many, including the Colorado Playhouse and with her theater students.

On June 1, 1949, the bundle of fun and light known as Marsha entered the world in Memphis, Texas.  Born to Bill and Finnie Seale, Marsha grew up in Matador, Texas and graduated from Snyder High School.  Following her high school graduation, Marsha attended Angelo State University in San Angelo, Texas, and Sam Houston State in Huntsville, Texas, ultimately earning a degree in Theatre and Education.  She then went on to share her love of theater and performing arts with students in Colorado City, Sweetwater, and Merkel, Texas.  In addition to her love of theater, Marsha had a love of God, and enjoyed the fellowship of Believers at Elm Valley Community Church and Beltway Park Church in Abilene.  

Marsha was preceded in death by her father Bill Seale on May 15, 2005, and her mother Finnie Seale on August 5, 2009.

Marsha will be missed by her son, Dylan Moore of Abilene; daughter, Amy Paquette and husband David of Buffalo Gap; brother, Kris Seale and wife Melinda of Abilene; three grandsons, Elias, Ari, and Isaac Paquette; two nieces, Amanda Farrow and husband Clayton, and Shannon Seale; one nephew, Drew Seale and wife Christina; and two great-nephews, Graham Farrow and Duke Seale.  

Visitation will be 3:00 to 5:00 p.m. Sunday, September 3, at The Hamil Family Funeral Home, 6449 Buffalo Gap Road, Abilene.  The funeral service will be held at 2:00 p.m. Monday, September 4, in The Hamil Family Funeral Home Chapel officiated by David McQueen.
