EWI FIRM ANNIVERSARIES
MOORE FUNERAL HOMES/FITZGERALD FUNERAL SERVICE - 23 YEARS
Lynne Moore, Representative
Moore's was first opened in Tulsa in 1932 by James Herbert Moore and J. Foreman Moore, grandfather and uncle respectively, of my husband. The original location, Moore's Memory Chapel, was located at 14th and Peoria which at that time was in the center of town. As Tulsa grew eastward, Moore's Eastlawn Chapel opened at 19th and Memorial in 1966. Then as Tulsa grew southward, Moore's Southlawn chapel, bordering memorial Park Cemetery on 51st street near Mingo, opened in 1984. In 1997, Moore's opened Rosewood Chapel which also serves as our corporate headquarters and site of our crematory, on 25th and Harvard. Moore's purchased Fitzgerald Funeral Service, with locations at 14th and Boulder and 91st and Harvard, in 2011.
During its nearly 90 years of existence, Moore's has grown with Tulsa in the scope of services provided as well as the number of locations. Just last year, Moore's added a second family center, at the Southlawn location, where families can have a reception and share a meal as they continue to share memories following a memorial service. From the notification of a death until final interment or inurnment, every aspect of care is provided by a Moore's staff member, most of whom have been employed at Moore's for more than ten years and have extensive experience dealing with all faiths. Moore/Fitzgerald is Oklahoma's largest funeral provider having served over 1300 families last year.
Our EWI of Tulsa representative for many years was Cheryl Benoit. I became representative prior to Cheryl's passing in 2017. I am a registered nurse and worked at several hospitals prior to my marriage to Dr. Joe Moore, a physician, in 1983 after which I became a stay-at-home mom. When my husband inherited Moore/Fitzgerald in 2011, I went back to college to earn a mortuary science degree and became a licensed funeral director. Moore/Fitzgerald is very happy to be affiliated with EWI. Lynne Moore

Pandemic Cookbook Highlights
Have you tried any of the recipes from our Pandemic Cookbook? EWI Tulsa Pandemic Cookbook. Trish Richey, representing Helmerich & Payne, EWI of Tulsa 2019-2020 President, shared a few memories regarding the recipes she contributed.
Over the years, I have collected both recipes and cookbooks. Submitting recipes for the 2020 Pandemic Cookbook, provided an opportunity to reflect on fond memories. In my early twenties as I was starting my life as a newlywed and cook, family friends gave me a notebook comprised of their family’s favorite recipes.  One of the recipes from this cookbook titled “Bubbling Ham & Swiss Sandwiches” was simple and good. I turn to this recipe when I have leftover ham and want more than just a ham sandwich!
I thought I was an accomplished cook after preparing "Curried Chicken" as I had only seen this on restaurant menus! I often collect recipes after attending potlucks and I discovered the “Cornbread Salad” recipe while attending a summer potluck. I like to add cucumber to this recipe. It is best to make this a day or two ahead to allow the ingredients to meld together.
