Doris Irene Moore
1936-2024
87 years

On Tuesday, April 9, 2024 Doris left behind this home for her eternal home in Heaven. She was born December 13, 1936, to Graham and Ethia Perry Moore of Elizabeth City, North Carolina.

After having graduated from Weeksville High School, she continued her education at East Carolina University (B.S.) and Salisbury State University (Masters). She completed courses at Mercer University (Macon, GA), University of Delaware and Delaware Technical and Community College. Following her chosen career, she taught in public schools for 32 years (31 ½ as a first-grade teacher) instilling in her students a love for reading and math. Her deep interest in reading led her to help write a manual for the state on programs for teaching reading. Having a music minor, she played for many weddings, choral groups and other events. Also, teaching some private piano lessons. Her hobbies included music, reading, sports (especially basketball) and traveling (having visited 48 states Mexico, Canada, P.I. Island and Nove Scotia).

She was a member of the Corinth Baptist Church in Elizabeth City, NC. Helping people was one way of living her faith. She did so without recognition, which was very important to her.

Doris was proceeded in death by the parents, Graham and Ethia Moore; brothers Charles (Edith), Herbert (Faye) and nephew Larry. She is survived by nephew Wesley; nieces: Charlene and Martha.

Many thanks to her wonderful caregivers and helpers- Sharnett, Paula (R.N.), Renee (R.N.), Joanne, Rae and Sandy.

Services will be in North Carolina at a later date.
