RAPID CITY--Rose Marie Moore, 96, passed away peacefully to be with the Lord on March 28, 2012, from Rapid City Regional Hospice House, and joined her husband of 67 years, Marvin. Rose was born March 21, 1916, on a farm in Yankton County, South Dakota, to Pauline Anna (Kucher) Pokorny and Frank Fred Pokorny. She was the second of 10 children. At the age of 11, in 1927, Rose helped out her family by working in other homes taking care of smaller children, cleaning house, helping with meals and doing outdoor chores. Then, in 1935, she moved to Rapid City, and worked at the Casino Lanes Bowling Alley in downtown Rapid City. When the new Safeway was built in the early 40s, at the southeast corner of Mt. Rushmore Road and Main Street, she was asked to come to work for them. She worked with Safeway most of her working years until her retirement in 1981. On August 16, 1941, she married Marvin L. Moore in Rapid City. To this union, five children were born. Rose and Marvin loved and enjoyed their family, especially their grandchildren and great grandchildren, and were always there for everyone in their family. Rose embraced the roles of wife, mother, sister, aunt, grandmother and so much more to those who knew and loved her. Her love was unconditional, never asking for anything in return. Being raised in a Czech farming community, there were, of course, many dances. Rose, and her siblings, loved to polka and there was no keeping her seated. Even after moving to Rapid City, she would find places to polka. During World War II, while her husband was away, Rose took care of their son and worked in Rapid City and Seattle. Rose loved word and board games, including crossword puzzles, Scrabble, Yahtzee and Cribbage. Even though her time on the farm was short, she still had many good memories of farm life and taking care of animals. Having been blessed and honored to share her life are her children: Robert (Sharon) Moore, Terry (Rhonda) Moore, Sandra (Eddie) Huddleston, Karen (Ralph-dec.) Cupp, and Joseph (Betty) Moore; 14 grandchildren, 18 great grandchildren; 1 great great grandchild; her sister, Josephine Braunesreither and numerous nieces and nephews. Preceding her in death were her parents, her husband Marvin in 2008; her brothers, Clarence Pokorny, Charles Pokorny, Eddie Pokorny and William Pokorny; her sisters, Agnes Hojem, Alice Snoozy, Emily Hladky and Helen Simons; her grandson, John Wade; her nephew, Richard Moore and son in-law Ralph Cupp. Mom, you are finally with Dad now. We love you and thank you for the memories which will remain in our hearts forever.
