Jill Moore

Jill Moore, beloved wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, and devoted nurse, passed away peacefully on May 29, 2026, in Charlestown, Indiana. She was born on December 6, 1955, in Olive Hill, Kentucky, and lived a life defined by compassion, generosity, and unwavering love for her family.

Jill graduated from West Carter High School in 1973 and went on to build an extraordinary nursing career spanning more than 45 years. Jill retired in 2024, leaving behind a legacy of exceptional care and compassion. Many patients specifically requested her, a reflection of the trust, comfort, and kindness she brought to every interaction. To many cancer patients and their families, Jill was more than a nurse—she was a source of comfort, encouragement, and hope during some of life’s most difficult moments.

While Jill was a remarkable nurse, her most cherished roles were being called, a Wife, Mom, Mamaw, Grandma, and Gigi. Nothing brought her more joy than spending time with her family.

She shared 50 years of marriage with her beloved husband, Brent Moore, and took immense pride in her children, Trent Moore (Amy) and Kayla Williams (Daniel). Her greatest joy was spending time with her grandchildren, Amanda Moore, Ashley Vellinger (Nik), Hanna, Hadley, and Ellison, and her great-grandchildren, Rhett and Ruby.

Jill was preceded in death by her parents, George and Madge Miller, and her brother, Larry Miller. She is survived by her husband, children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, sister Jen Very, brother Ronnie Miller, sister-in-law Edna Miller, and many nieces, nephews, and extended family members.

Those who knew Jill will remember her warm smile, positive outlook, and generous spirit. She found joy in life’s simple pleasures— “chopping the block” in her red Volkswagen Beetle back in the day, searching for treasures at thrift stores and antique shops, traveling to the Smoky Mountains and Michigan with her husband, cheering on the horses, and entering sweepstakes. She was also a gifted cook who loved bringing people together around her table, making sure no one ever left her home hungry.

More than anything, Jill will be remembered for the kindness she showed to everyone she met. Whether caring for patients, supporting friends, or loving her family, she gave of herself freely and wholeheartedly. Her legacy lives on in the countless lives she touched through her compassion, strength, and love.

Visitation will be held on Tuesday, June 2, 2026, from 4:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. at Grayson Funeral Home, 893 High Street, Charlestown, Indiana.
