Susan Vasey Moore 

1960-2009 Our beloved Susan Moore, 49 of Boise, Idaho went home 
to our loving Father Friday, Aug. 28th, 2009 surrounded by her 
family. Susan was born in Cozad, Neb. May 19, 1960 to Bill and 
Mary Jane Vasey. She grew up in Cozad graduating from Cozad High 
school in 1978. Susan grew up on the farm and her family was a 
member of the International Flying Farmers. At 16 years old Susan 
soloed in a Cessna 172 Skyhawk giving light to the talented brave 
person she was her entire life. Following graduation from Cozad 
High School in 1978 Susan attended Colorado State University for 
a year and a half which motivated her to attend Prospect Hall a 
travel industry school in Hollywood, Fla. Susan first discovered 
her passion for travel in the fifth grade when she attended a 
travel course in Cozad. After completing her travel agent 
training she spread her wings to travel internationally for a 
full year when she joined "Up with People" in 1982; performing at 
the 1982/83 Super Bowl half-time show. Susan moved to San Diego 
in 1984 to work for a travel agency which is where she met the 
love of her life - John Moore in January of 1985. John was 
serving in the U.S. Navy then and after being married on July 11, 
1987 in Cozad the Navy relocated them to Honolulu, Hawaii. On 
Jan. 8, 1990 their daughter Amanda was born in Honolulu and later 
that year after completing his commitment to the Navy John and 
Susan moved their family to Boise, Idaho. On July 22 of the 
following year their son Taylor was born. Susan worked as a well 
respected travel agent in Boise for many years and then later 
utilized her many skills, personality and compassion in the 
senior living industry. We will all remember her for her endless 
energy and love and ability to light up a room. Her love for her 
family was second only to her love for Jesus and she was an 
example of His character, strength and love to all of us who knew 
her. She is survived by her Husband John, their daughter Amanda 
and son Taylor of Boise. As well as her father and mother Bill 
and Mary Jane Vasey of Cozad, Neb.; her brother Doug Vasey and
