Obituary of Elizabeth A. Moore

MEDUSA - Elizabeth Ann Moore "Betty", 64, died at her residence under Hospice care on Tuesday, May 29, 2012. She was born Sept. 3, 1947 in Schenectady, daughter of the late Walter O. Sr and Mary E. (Glover) Moore. Elizabeth graduated from Middleburgh Central School in 1966. She then earned a two year associates degree in food service at Cobleskill College. On Labor Day 1969 she met Robert L. Moore whom she married on Oct. 3, 1970. Bob was from Medusa and Betty from Preston Hollow. On May 3, 1978 Betty and Bob adopted three children (siblings); Billy, Collene and Darlene. On Feb. 23, 1979 Tammy was born to the family. Through the years Betty had volunteered much of her time to various needs of the church, served as treasurer for the local food pantry, spent summers as the cook for Camp Medusa, worked in the Greenville School cafeteria, and at the Dollar General in Greenville when it was opened; she cleaned houses, provided caregiving for the elderly, was a preschool teacher and had her own cake making business. The "Dash" of her life was spent touching the lives of so many through the various things she did, and all with the love of Christ in her heart that she shared with those around her. Surviving are her husband, Robert L. "Bob" Moore of Medusa; her daughters, Collene of Schenectady, Darlene of Zephryhills, FL and Tammy of Medusa; nine grandchildren; her brother, Walter O. Moore Jr of Fountainhead, FL; nephews, Maurice Thomas Moore of Illinois, Dennison Moore of East Greenbush, Philip Cross of Montpelier, VT, Brian Cross (Dianna) of Earlton, Niece Suzanne Lane (Ronald) of W. Coxsackie and brother-in-law, William H. Moore of W. Coxsackie. In addition to her parents, Betty is predeceased by her son, William Howard Moore. Funeral Service will be Saturday, June 2 at 3 pm in The First Baptist Church of Westerlo. A calling hour will be at the church prior to the service from 2 to 3 pm. Interment will follow the service in Medusa Cemetery, followed by a gathering at the Baptist church. Betty requested that instead of flowers, gifts of love can be donated in her honor to The First Baptist Church of Westerlo, the Capital City Rescue Mission of Albany, the Helderberg Christian School and the Greenville Food Pantry.
