She was born Aug. 1, 1937 in Raleigh and was preceded in death by her parents, John H. Phelps and Lila Nordan Phelps Godwin.
She is survived by her husband of 60 years, George Donald Moore, of the home; sons, Don Moore, of Garner, Ken Moore and wife, Darlene Hinton Moore, of Lugoff, S.C. and Jeff Moore and wife, Sarah Bangert Moore, of Garner; and granddaughters, Cameron, Amber, Danielle, Hannah, Ashlyn Moore and Kristin Moore Riggins and her husband, Scott Riggins.
