Zama, Mississippi is reeling after the loss of 55-year-old Lisa Powell Moore, who died following a single-vehicle crash early Wednesday morning on Highway 19. The accident happened around 8:45 a.m. in the quiet Zama community, leaving friends, family, and coworkers in deep sorrow.
The Mississippi Highway Patrol says Moore lost control of her vehicle near Thomastown and the car crashed, though exact details of what caused the crash are still under investigation. Responders found her seriously hurt at the scene and rushed her by ambulance to the Baptist Attala Emergency Department. Doctors there fought to save her life, but she later died from her injuries.
Attala County Coroner Sam Bell confirmed Moore’s identity and said she was a long-time resident of Thomastown, just a short drive from where the crash occurred. Local law enforcement has asked anyone with information about the collision to come forward as they continue their review.
Moore was more than a name in a news report. She was a well-loved member of the Boswell Media family, working with BreezyNews, Kicks96 News, and several local radio stations. Her voice and presence were familiar to listeners across central Mississippi, and her loss is being felt deeply by the people who tuned in every day.
Coworkers remember her spirited dedication, her warm professionalism, and the way she lit up a studio or a newsroom with her laughter. Listeners have flooded social media with condolences, recalling how she made even the simplest moments feel important.
In Thomastown and beyond, community members are sharing stories of Moore’s kindness and generosity. From local events she supported to the everyday chats on air, her impact stretched far beyond the microphone.
As the community holds Moore’s family in their hearts, memorials and tributes are already taking shape. Friends say they’ll honor her by celebrating her life, her talent, and the many ways she helped others feel connected.
