Barbara J. Moore

Barbara J. Moore, age 74, entered her heavenly home on Tuesday, March 25, 2025, at her residence in Jackson, TN, surrounded by her loving family after a long and courageous battle with cancer.

She was born on November 22, 1950, in Lamar, MO, one of seven children to the late Jack and Pauline Capp Brous. Barbara was a devoted wife, mother, grandmother, sister, and friend to many.

Barbara proudly built her career as a shipping manager at Bruce/Armstrong Hardwood Floors, where she worked for many years and made lasting friendships that stood the test of time. After “retirement,” Barbara went to work for Kroger, where she was a Starbucks barista for nearly seven years. Barbara’s incredible work ethic earned her the affectionate nickname of "Busy B," reflecting her loyal and dependable nature, as well as her generous spirit. She was beloved by co-workers and customers alike.

Barbara loved to prepare family meals and pies “from scratch” as her mom had taught her growing up on the farm. She cherished the time spent hosting family gatherings, where her warmth and hospitality were always on display, especially during the holidays. Her dedication to her family was evident in everything she did. Barbara’s children and grandchildren were her pride and joy, and she cared for them deeply and selflessly.

Barbara was an enthusiastic sports fan. She and her husband were proud season ticket holders of the Tennessee Titans for nearly 25 years. Barbara was also a passionate University of Tennessee Vols fan. Her enthusiasm for these teams was infectious and brought joy and connection to her family and friends. She cheered her grandchildren and their friends on through many games, no matter the sport, and this same competitive spirit is what kept her going through her battle with cancer for over a decade. She was everyone’s “Nana” and had a way of connecting with people that made them feel seen and loved.

Barbara was preceded in death by her son, Keith Moore, her parents, Jack and Pauline Capp Brous, her sister Karen Hardy and her brother Danny Brous. She is survived by her husband of fifty-two years, Greg Moore; her daughter Cindy Minnis and her husband Gary; her beloved grandchildren, Coleman and Carleigh; her son Keith’s partner Kassandra Hernandez and their son Dante; her brothers, Jim Brous and his wife Robyn, Calvin Brous and his wife Bonnie, and Ken Brous; her sister, Staci Scarberry and her husband Rick; and her brothers-in-law, Greg Hardy and Brad Moore and his wife, Manda. She leaves behind a legacy of love and cherished memories within her family.

A visitation with family and friends will be held on Monday, March 31, 2025, beginning at 11:30 a.m. and continuing until 1:00 p.m., followed by a funeral service at 1:00 p.m. in the Chapel of Arrington Funeral Directors, with Dr. Todd Brady officiating. Burial will follow in Highland Memorial Gardens

Pallbearers for the service will be Gary Minnis, Coleman Minnis, Dante Teniente, Randy Jones, Todd King and Brian King.

The family is requesting that memorial contributions be directed to Kirkland’s Cancer Center, 720 W. Forest Ave. Jackson, TN 38301.

Barbara J. Moore will be deeply missed, but her spirit and love will continue to resonate with all who had the privilege of knowing her.
