My thoughts and prayers are definitely with the family of Mrs. Moore. I’m convinced that meeting Mrs. Moore in Greenville SC changed my life. She was the sweetest and most humble lady ever. Full of wisdom. She was an indeed joy to work with and be around. She made my Activity Director career at Brookdale great. You’re definitely missed Mrs.Moore.

May you find comfort and peace in the memory of Mrs. Moore...... a trailblazer for justice, equality and education. Mrs. Moore had a significant impact on my education at South Carolina State University and Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University. She always cheered me on saying, "go ahead, you can do it." She worked tirelessly to ensure that every student in the Pineville, Cross, Eadytown, and St. Stephen areas went to college if they so desired. Mrs. Moore was a real servant for all of Berkeley County, the state of South Carolina, and beyond. Mrs. Moore loved, loved, loved Voorhees and it loved her back and she was a strong advocate for HBCUs. Mrs. Moore taught my children in Sunday School at Mt. Nebo United Methodist Church and my children are blessed for having been in her company. Thank you family for sharing Mrs. Moore with us. Thank you Mrs. Moore for a life well lived.

Condolences are extended to the Family. We have lost a major icon in the political arena. She was on the front line displaying examples of courage and servant leadership. She was a very strong advocate for education, civic concerns, and was a well-served pacesetter for many years. We could always depend on her to fight for justice, equality and honesty. She was a warrior and pioneer of our era and understood the word LEADERSHIP. She believed that stewardship of the vote is everyone's responsibility. Mrs. Moore opened many doors for us all, and she had a signature style that made her stand out, as an awesome team connector. She was a blessing to our community, county, state, and our nation. She will be sincerely missed. We thank her for her great service.

As a former student of hers at Cainhoy, I remember her as always driving us to do the best we could do. She had that same drive after leaving Cainhoy and fighting along with us as we were trying to keep our high school from closing. She was such as inspiration. She will truly be missed.

Mrs. Moore fought tirelessly for the students and people of Berkeley County.

Her legacy as a Civil Rights giant in Berkeley County will not be forgotten.

Mrs. Moore was to Berkeley County, what Septima Clark was to Charleston County.

She will live on, in the many hearts she has touched.
