Randall Rountree Moring, 74, passed away on May 1, 2023.
He was born in New Orleans, LA, and attended boarding schools in Mexico and Switzerland. He was a graduate of Dartmouth College, and earned two postgraduate degrees from the University of Florida. He was an Army veteran of the Vietnam War.
He became a teacher, and then a lawyer, at one time serving as the acting County Attorney.
He was a volunteer in many areas of the community: he served on the Ocala Civic Theatre Board, the Fine Arts For Ocala Board, the Crisis Line, the Silver River State Park, and spent a year with AmeriCorps.
His interests were many and varied. Though sailing was his first love, he eventually turned to power boats, and never gave up boating. He was a talented and knowledgeable photographer. He became an excellent amateur actor, and played more than fifty roles in several area theatres, most notably Ocala Civic Theatre.
He is survived by his wife of 54 years, Susan Greene Moring; a brother, Devereux Moring of New Orleans; a daughter, Elizabeth Moring of Ocala; a son, David Moring of Ocala; three grandchildren, Ava Moring, Grace Moring, and Parker Hoeft; and many nieces and nephews.
In lieu of flowers, contributions may be made in memory of Randall Moring to Hospice of Marion County or the Ocala Civic Theatre.
There will be an open house gathering of celebration and remembrance on May 25th from 11:00 to 1:00 in the lobby of the Ocala Civic Theatre. Burial will be at a later time in the Micanopy Historic Cemetery.
