The Eastern Illinois University athletic family is saddened today as assistant women’s basketball coach Jackie Moore passed away Wednesday night at Sarah Bush Regional Hospital. Out of respect for the Moore Family additional details are not available at this time.

A memorial service for Moore is planned for 2 p.m. Sunday afternoon at Lantz Arena.

“Our thoughts and prayers go out to the Moore family at this time,” said EIU athletic director Barbara Burke. “Jackie was a great young person with a bright future ahead of her. She will be dearly missed. Out of respect for Jackie, her family and friends, we have cancelled all athletic contests for this weekend.”

Moore, 28, was in her third season as a member of Coach Brady Sallee’s coaching staff.  She was a native of Windsor, Ontario and played her collegiate basketball at Christian Brothers University in Memphis, Tenn.

In lieu of flowers, memorial gifts to EIU Women's Basketball in Jackie Moore's name will be accepted at Sunday's memorial service. Contributions can also be mailed to:
