Charla Lee Moore, 66, of Springfield, MO passed away on Wednesday, March 8, 2023 following a short illness.

She was born on September 8, 1956 to Charles Wayne Moore and Marilyn Lee (Searcy) Moore who are deceased.

William Ralph Searcy, her maternal grandfather, also deceased, helped raise her and her sisters.

Charla is survived by her sisters Virginia Netzer, Victoria Moore and husband Wayne Miles, half brother Charlton Moore, nephews Josh and Toby Netzer, Jesse Cover and his wife Sara, great nephew Bryan McMahan, great niece Jaelynn Moore, uncle Tom Moore, and extended family.

She was a graduate of Ash Grove High School class of 1974.

Charla spent most of her career working as a legal assistant in NYC and Springfield, MO.

Charla enjoyed garage sales, thrift stores and working the flea market booth she shared with good friend, Val Simpson.

Charla was an animal lover and cared deeply for the pets she brought into her home over the years. She loved none more than her most recent companion, her dog, Mr. Big who will be residing in the country with long time friends Martin and Nancy Simpson the rest of his days.  He is in good hands.

Charla was known as the family photographer as was her Grandma Opal Hadlock before her. We are grateful for the many special moments she preserved which we wouldn't have had otherwise.

Charla will be greatly missed by her family and many friends.

A brief graveside service will be held Wednesday, March 15, 2023 at 1:00 PM in Ash Grove Cemetery.

In lieu of flowers, contributions can be made to Humane Society of SW MO, Rescue One, C.A.R.E. Rescue Service or the charity of your choice.
