James E “Cookie” Moore was born on January 26, 1939 in Big Cove, Alabama. He was a faithful member of New Hope Church of God where he proudly served as the Sunday School Superintendent. Cookie loved singing in the church choir. He worked at John Blue Equipment Manufacturing and later retired from SCI. Cookie lived in Big Cove all his life and moved to the South Hampton Nursing and Rehabilitation Center at the Cove in 2017. The employees of South Hampton cared for and loved Cookie as if he were part of their own family for the past four years. The family would like to extend a special thank you to all those that helped take care of him there as well as to his special friend, Paul Hindman, who picked him up and took him to attend church in these later years every Sunday they were both able to.

brother-in-law, Walter and Charlotte Hindman; brother, Jerry “Chic” Moore and sister-in-law, Jean Moore also preceded him in death.
He is survived by his brothers: Leon “Buddy” Moore, Jr. and Paul “Ike” Moore (Trisha) and many beloved nephews and nieces and grand nephews and grand nieces. Cookie loved his truck, to share his love of the Lord with others, and most of all, Cookie loved to listen to and sing gospel music. Cookie was a trickster who loved to tell and play jokes on everyone he loved. He truly loved to talk to and be around people and will be missed by many.
