William "Bill" Earl Moore

March 14, 1964 — May 7, 2025

Selmer, TN

William Earl Moore, fondly known as Bill, was born on March 14, 1964, in Henderson, Tennessee. He passed away peacefully on May 7, 2025, in Selmer, Tennessee.

Throughout his career, Bill dedicated himself to working at the local sawmill and the U.S. Postal Service, where he became a familiar and friendly face in the community. He was known for his love of conversation, eagerly engaging with people in town. His warmth and approachable personality will be deeply missed by all who crossed his path.

Bill was a man of many hobbies and interests. He took great joy in caring for the farm animals that surrounded him and found entertainment in watching classic shows like Gunsmoke. His love for square dancing was a testament to his spirited nature, and he often spent hours working on cars, a skill he cherished. He had a playful side as well, often fussing at his siblings with the playful remark that they "couldn't do anything right," which brought laughter into their lives.

Bill is survived by his beloved mother, Margie Baker of Bolivar, TN; sisters, Sharon Ware of Selmer, TN; Cindy Young of Adamsville, TN, and Lisa Hodge and husband Lynn of Hornsby, TN; brother, Will Nolan Moore of Bolivar, TN; stepmother, Elizabeth Moore of Jackson, TN; and special friend, Brenda Draves of Savannah, TN. and a host of nieces and nephews.

He was preceded in death by his father, Frank D. Moore; his wife, Lula Mae Lipford Moore; sister, Ester Galigher; brothers-in-law, Mickey Ware and Rickey "Pork Chop" Young; sister-in-law, Nancy Wilkins; and nephew, Matthew Young.

The family would like to extend their heartfelt gratitude to Legacy Hospice for their compassionate care during this time. Bill's spirit lives on in the love of those he leaves behind and the cherished memories he created throughout his life.
