Velta Mae (Stevens) Moore, 91 of Lake Dallas passed away on July 5, 2024, in Denton, Texas.  She fought a good fight, but after several setbacks with Lung Cancer, and other illnesses, our Lord and Savior took her home to be with her beloved husband Charles H. Moore and other family members that have proceeded her in death. Brothers Otto, Willie, and Tommy Stevens, and her sisters, Billie Jo Barker, and Bea Bogle.

Velta was born September 3, 1932, in Little Rock, Arkansas, to Virgal and Pearl Stevens, and was raised around Lamesa and Levelland, Texas. On August 28, 1950, in Lovington, New Mexico, Velta married the love of her life Charles Moore, a marriage of 56 years, which they raised four children, Brenda, Charles (Chuck), Valerie and Connie.

During her life she loved to have family and friends over for fish fries and BBQ's.  She enjoyed partying and dancing and was always up for a game of cards, dominoes, poker or wahoo.   She also enjoyed playing croquet, volleyball and horseshoes until the wee hours of the night.

She loved being outside.  She had a green thumb and grew beautiful roses and a bountiful vegetable garden.  She would rather be outside fishing, boating/water skiing, camping and swimming.  She was adamant about teaching her children to swim even though she did not know how to swim.

She was a lifelong crocheter.  All her children and grandchildren received beautiful baby blankets, afgans, scarves, hats, towel and potholder sets for Christmas, birthdays or any special occasion

Velta was survived by her sister Stella Anderson, of Oklahom and cousins Barbara Meharg and Darline Calhoun, of California.
