Moore grew up as mostly an only child in a difficult and complex home, instilling in her a desire to create a family of her own. She married David at 15-years-old and she had their first baby at 16. Over their 37 years of marriage, the Moore family has grown to 55 people, comprised of the two of them, their 16 children and nine spouses and 28 grandchildren. “A lot of it for me was I always wanted family,” Moore said.
