It is with profound and heartfelt sadness that we share the passing of a true gentleman, Marshall Moore, who passed away at home on Monday, January 15th, 2024.

Words will never fully capture the love, support, and meaning he provided to his family and to innumerable others whose lives he touched.
A psychologist by training, Marshall was a lifelong innovator in education. His career path included public school administrator, university faculty member, educational consultant, and private practitioner. Marshall never feared challenging creative boundaries or reexamining the rules guiding successful student learning.
In his retirement years as an alumnus of WNMU, Marshall volunteered his time and expertise in many areas, especially towards supporting the students through the WNMU Alumni Foundation. Marshall is preceded in death by son Robbie Moore and wife Sandra Cobb Moore.
