Monique Shree Moore
March 8, 1983 ~ September 19, 2025 (age 42)
Monique Shree Moore was born on March 8, 1983, at Memorial Hospital in South Bend, Indiana. On September 19, 2025, she entered eternal rest, leaving behind a legacy of love, strength, and compassion that will never be forgotten.
Monique was the proud and devoted mother of three beautiful children—Elijah, Imani, and Amir. They were the center of her world, and she poured her heart and soul into raising them with love, faith, and determination. Everything Monique did was for them, and they remain a true reflection of her spirit. Her love expanded even further with the blessing of two grandchildren, Dionta Payne-Miller and Eliana Moore, who brought her endless joy. She also shared a special bond with her nephew, Jhakri White, whom she loved dearly.
She was the beloved daughter of Sharon White and Gerald Woodberry. Monique shared a deep and special bond with her mother, Sharon, whose love, guidance, and example shaped her into the woman and mother she became. Sharon’s strength and nurturing heart lived on through Monique, and now their spirits are reunited in peace. Monique also carried with her the guidance of Eric White, whose presence brought meaning and support throughout her life.
Monique is survived by her children, Elijah, Imani, and Amir; her grandchildren, Dionta Payne-Miller and Eliana Moore; her brother Jared Watkins; her sisters Ariyan White, Erica White, and Brandy Woodberry; her nephew Jhakri White; and a host of cousins, all of whom shared with her a lifetime of love, laughter, and memories.
She was preceded in death by her mother Sharon White, father Eric White, her grandparents August and Sadie Moore, her beloved aunts Jewelett Gollday and Della Kowalski, and a host of other cousins who now welcome her into eternal peace.
A proud graduate of Washington High School, Monique carried herself with Panther pride, determination, and resilience. She continued her education at Indiana University South Bend, where she earned her Bachelor’s Degree in Mass Communication. Monique went on to dedicate many years of her life to serving others through her work with Madison Center—now Oaklawn—helping children, teens, and adults through mental health and addiction services. Her commitment to this work reflected her heart for healing and her belief in helping people find hope and strength. Through her years of service, she touched countless lives with her compassion, patience, and dedication.
Beyond her professional and family life, Monique had a style and spirit all her own. She enjoyed art and music deeply, with a love for reggae, hip hop, and soulful rhythms that spoke to her heart. Her favorite color was black—a reflection of her bold, edgy, yet timeless taste. Monique’s fashion sense was effortlessly chic, with a vintage flair that made her stand out in any crowd. She carried herself with elegance and confidence, embracing her individuality with pride.
