Joseph James Moore

Joseph "Joe" Moore of Stanchfield passed away on Sunday, March 9, 2025, at his home, at the age of 92.

Joseph James Moore was born on April 6, 1932 to Joseph and Florence (Bibeau) Moore in St. Paul, Minnesota.

Joe met the love of his life, Elsie, and they were married in 1958. They were blessed with eight children. The two were inseparable from that point on for over 63 years. Even after Elsie's passing Joe's love for her grew strong, always honoring her memory with a monthly Mass intention where many of his kids and grandkids attended.

Joe worked his entire life as a cement finisher. He enjoyed work, fishing, farming, gardening, casinos, football, and grilling. He was an avid walker, and he enjoyed spending time with family and friends.
