Juanita Moore

Juanita Moore, 90, of Honey Grove passed away Saturday, October 11, 2025, at Paris Regional Medical Center. Jaunita (Neat) was born on October 27, 1934, in Honey Grove to Gladys Finney and Henry Hopkins. She was married to LD Moore (Frog) for almost 40 years. She was known as Neat or Frog's wife. She got the name Neat because she was so organized and always had things in order. They had many friends.

The place to be at was the Moor's house on Christmas Eve. People came from far and near to be there, and it would last until 3 or 4 in the morning. Then she would go to her sister's house and play Santa Claus bagging up toys and drinking the milk and eating the cookies with her cousin Princella. She didn't have children but loved them and enjoyed babysitting. She loved to cook, and everybody loved her pies, so she began selling them. After 30 years of pastry, she accepted Christ in her life and began to work in the church as kitchen help, usher, trustee and stewardess. She loved the Lord and her church. She still had friends come by even though she wasn't partying anymore. Some of them said if you can change, I can too. That encouraged her to keep pressing on.

Neat is survived by her Godson Joshua "Zeke" Woods of Honey Grove, sister Ruthie Brigham of Honey Grove, nephews: Robert Jackson (Sandra) of Longview, Bradley Brigham of Commerce, Kurt Burks (Michelle) of Paris and Douglas Adkins of Dallas; nieces: Juanita Harbin (Jerry) of Houston, Alantionna Brigham of Paris and Azia Brigham of Commerce.

His appreciation for these iconic vehicles was a reflection of his vibrant personality and his enjoyment of life's finer details.

He leaves behind a loving family, including his beloved granddaughter, Courtney J. Holladay, and his siblings: Bobby J. Holladay, Jerry R. Holladay, Larry D. Holladay, Peggy J. Hallett, and Diana J. Hynes. They cherished his presence and the unique bond they shared, and his memory will forever be an integral part of their lives.

Don is preceded in death by his parents, Elzie R. Holladay and Edna V. West Holladay, and his son, Michael C. Holladay. Their absence leaves a profound emptiness, but the legacy of love and the memories shared will continue to shine brightly through those who knew and loved him.

As we remember Don Holladay, we celebrate a life dedicated to service, family, and passion. His spirit will live on in the hearts of his family and friends.
