Betty "Jodie" Moore

Coleman Funeral Home of Olive Branch Betty Jo Harris “Jodie” Moore was born on July 30, 1930 in Memphis, Tennessee. When she was fifteen years old, she met Cliff Moore, who affectionately nicknamed her Jodie, which she went by from that point on. Jodie was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Clifford Bernard Moore, Jr.; parents, Harold and Bessie Harris; brothers, Leon, Lefoy, and Charlie Harris; sister, Theda Mae Harris Dawkins; and a host of other friends and relatives dear to her. She leaves behind three children: Laura Flippin (Don), Vickie Grimes (Doug), and Bernie Moore (Theresa); six grandchildren, Chip Flippin, Andy Flippin, Shelley Flippin Mortensen, Lee Bradley, Quentin Moore, and Mikael Moore; and one great-grandchild, Cela Mortensen. She also leaves her younger brother, Bobby Harris (Jeanine) from Utah and a host of nieces and nephews whom she adored. Jodie was well-loved by so many, including all of her children’s friends growing up. She was known for teaching the neighbor’s kids how to play poker (no betting allowed) and pumped them full of the best southern sweet tea around! Our home was the neighborhood “hangout” and at any given time, Mom was the voice of reason for all of us. She loved without judging and with her whole heart! She will be sorely missed. Jodie passed away on January 29, 2023. We bear her passing with immense sadness but eternal gratitude to our Lord, knowing our sweet, precious Mom is out of pain and being re-united with Daddy and lots of family who went before her. What a wonderful reunion! The family will receive friends on Tuesday, January 31, 2023, from 11:00 a.m. until 1:00 p.m at Getwell Church (7875 Getwell Road, Southaven, MS 38672). The service will be held at 1:00 p.m. at Getwell Church. A committal service will follow at 3:00 p.m. at Memorial Park Cemetery (5668 Poplar Ave, Memphis, TN 38119). Pastor Jonathan Wallace of Getwell Church will officiate. In lieu of traditional flowers, donations may be made in her name to the Getwell Church Mission Fund. Online condolences may be left on her Tribute Wall at www.colemanfuneralhome.com.
