Marye Vaughan Boland Moore, age 84, passed away at her home in Pascagoula on April 10, 2022, following a lengthy illness. Born in Decatur, Alabama in 1938, Marye spent her childhood there surrounded by brothers, cousins, aunts and uncles, and many friends. Her childhood was a happy one and gave her a foundation of optimism and kindness – one she kept for the remainder of her life. Marye graduated from the University of Tennessee with a degree in Home Economics. She began her career in Atlanta as an interior designer for Rich’s Department Store, where she met her first husband, Robert “Bud” Boland. In 1971, Marye, Bud, and their three sons moved to Pascagoula to own and manage Pavco Industries.
Marye quickly adopted Pascagoula as her home and became an active participant in the community. She was a member of both the Patio Planters and Magnolia Garden Clubs, the Pascagoula Yacht Club, the Junior Auxiliary, the First Presbyterian Choir, and was a founding member of Pascagoula Pride. Marye was a long-time member of First United Methodist Church and a current member of First Presbyterian Church. After Bud’s death in 2008, Marye became
chairperson of the board of Pavco Industries, serving in that capacity for ten years.
In 2012, Marye fell in love with and married Dr. Paul Moore. Since that time, he has been her greatest supporter and constant companion.
Marye was preceded in death by her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Yancey Vaughan; husband, Bud Boland; son, Robert Boland, Jr.; and grandson, George Hames Boland.
She is survived by her husband, Paul Moore, brothers, John (Beverly) Vaughan, Paul Vaughan; sons John and David Boland. Nine grandchildren, Gabrielle (Jacob) Connelly; Lillie, Oliver, Rosemarye and Skylar Boland; Edward, Bettina, James and Eliza Boland. Two great- grandchildren, Genevieve and Evan.
