April 25, 1931 – August 10, 2022
Florence Marie (Henley) Moorehead, born on April 25, 1931, went to be with her Lord & Savior on August 10, 2022. Born to Wiley R. and Mertie Esther (Wilmot) Henley, she was raised in Sublette Kansas.
In 1948 as a telephone operator in Sublette, she met Lewis Moorehead who also worked for Southwestern Bell. After walking home together several times, an acquaintance blossomed into a romance and a marriage that lasted 62 years. Moving to Alvin in 1956, they raised three children, Neal, Mark, and Julie while faithfully attending the Gleaner Church in Alvin, Texas.
Preceded in death by her husband Lewis (2012), Florence is survived by their children, Neal & Kay Moorehead of Leakey, Texas, Mark Moorehead of Longview, Texas and Julie & Jay Kilborn of Friendswood, Texas, sister Yvonne (Henley) Young of Big Sandy, Texas and sister-in-law Gaylene Moorehead of Pharr, Texas. Also surviving her are 4 grandchildren and 6 great grandchildren.
While living in Alvin, Florence assisted with Meals on Wheels. The family requests that expressions of remembrances be made through donations to either Meals on Wheels or a local food pantry.

Julie, Mark and Neal. Our hearts break with yours. Your mother was such a sweetheart and exhibited God's love for others constantly!
May God wrap His arms of love around each of you and give you comfort during this difficult time.
Our Lord has blessed us with God loving neighbors for over 30 years here in Longview. Many times we remember this family with great love and happiness. We are praying God's love and comfort through the years..
