  Notes	The Sabine County Reporter February 11, 2009, Page 11 Marcille Gooch Moore Marcille Gooch Moore was born the oldest child of Lawrence and Ida Youngblood Gooch Jan. 8, 1921, at Sabinetown. On Feb. 8, 2009, in San Augustine, she succumbed to complications of Alzheimer's disease and receiving her promise of eternal life, joined in heavenly paradise her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ and all her loved ones who have gone on before. Marcille is survived by her husband, Madison Moore, of Port Arthur; sons and daughters-in-law, Roger and Jeannie Coday of Lake Jackson and Frank and Virginia Coday of Hemphill; brothers, R. F. Gooch and wife Dorothy and J. E. Gooch and wife Nina of Hemphill; and sister, Pauline Neal of Nacogdoches. Also surviving are step-daughters Johnnie Lee O'Dell and Billie Jean Legg of Silsbee, Patricia Donnelly and Sondra Thompson of Port Arthur, Willie Mae Harvey of Newton, Louis Adkison of Hemphill, and step-son, Richard Moore of Woodville. Other survivors include nieces, nephews, grandsons, granddaughters, and grandchildren all of whom are a living legacy of her marriage to three wonderful, loving husbands. Marcille was predeceased by husbands, H.D. Coday, Sr. and Delton Jones, her parents, siblings C. P. Gooch, Edelle Jackson and step-children Florene Casciola, Maurice Salles, Mildred Merritt, Aliene Belaire, and H. D. (Sonny) Coday, Jr. Upon graduation from Hemphill High School in 1938, Marcille moved to Houston where she employed as a telephone operator by Southwestern Bell. She met and married Drexel Coday, a widower with seven children. From that union, Roger and Frank were born. After the death of her first husband in 1969, Marcille married Delton Jones. They shared their final years of employment with Temple Lumber Company as they both moved toward retirement. After Delton passed away, Marcille met and married Madison Moore. Their lives together were filled with activities, surrounding family, church, travel, the Hemphill Senior Citizens Center, Eastern Star, and Madison's Masonic activities. Marcille was a strong woman. Her life epitomized the strength and where-with-all exhibited by pioneer women of her first husband's age (he was born in 1894.) Although she was a sensative, loving woman, she could and did work like a man. In 1954 at LaBelle, while helping Drexel and the hands work cattle in spring roundup, she was cornered in a corral and knocked flat by an enraged 900 pound Brahman bull. The "working hands" were amazed when two hours later, although banged and bruised, she had picked herself up, gone back to work, and under shade trees near the corral, served a hot noon-time meal to the cowboys. A visitation was held from 5 to 9 p.m. Tuesday, Feb. 10 at Starr Fuenral Home, Hemphill. Funeral services will be conducted by Rev. Aaron Pardue, First Baptist Church of Hemphill assisted by Rev. Jim Salles of West End Baptist Church of Beaumont at 1 p.m. Wednesday, (today), Feb. 11 at the funeral home. Interment will follow in Hemphill Cemetery. Pallbearers will be J.E. Gooch, Robert G. Neal, Sr., Tommy Neal, Dean McGee, Josh Thompson, John Edwin "Butch" O'Dell, and Ted O'Dell. Services are under the direction of Starr Funeral Home in Hemphill.
