Biography
Lillian Pamela Moore was born on March 9, 1940 to Jacob and Elaina Moore. Her paternal grandfather, Aaron Morwitz had come to America from Poland in 1907 and changed his surname to Moore to avoid anti-semitism. Lillian had one older brother, Richard (born 1932) and eventually a younger brother Benjamin (born 1943). When she was 14, she moved with her uncle Isaac to New York City. There she got a job at the sales office of Stanley Johnson, a friend of Isaac Moore.

3 years later, a 15 year old boy named Thomas Konju got a job at the office. He became friends with Lillian. On June 24, 1957, the sales office was destroyed. Lillian began dating Michael Ale Soclin, another former employee who started his own business Soclin Incorporated (a construction company). Moore and Soclin were married on April 8, 1963.

Throughout the 1960s and 1970s, Moore continued to support Soclin and his business ambitions. On March 22, 1976, her son Michael Ale Soclin, Jr. was born. In 1979, the family moved to Ohio.

In 1983, her husband launched his campaign for the 1986 U.S. Senate Election in Ohio. However, he was assasinated. Afterwards, Moore retired to private life and lived with her son on the farm her deceased husband had purchased in Ashland, Ohio.

In December of 1985, Moore was invited by some old friends to a New Year's Party in New York. Moore went but caught pneumonia and died on December 31, 1985.

Personal Life
Although her grandfather, Aaron Mortwitz was an Orthodox Jew, her father Jacob Moore tried to distance himself from his Jewish identity. Therefore, Lillian was raised as an Agnostic. However, in 1957, when she started dating Michael Soclin (an Orthodox Jew), she began thinking of converting to Orthodox Judaism. She converted in 1959, and practiced Orthodox Judaism until her death in 1985.
