Obituary
Elizabeth “Betty” Ann Moore
RENSSELAERVILLE — Elizabeth “Betty” Ann Moore was a gifted baker and craftswoman who passed on her greatest skills to her children. “She was always thinking about others more than herself, always giving of herself to others,” said her daughter, Tammy. “I’ve heard it said over the last couple days that, to some people, she was like the mother they never had.”
Mrs. Moore died on Tuesday, May 29, 2012, under hospice care at her home in Medusa. She was 64.
In a tribute, her family wrote, “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.” “You look at the grave stones, and there’s the year of birth and death,” Tammy explained, “and the dash is what happens in between — what’s really important.”
Born on Sept. 3, 1947, in Schenectady, Mrs. Moore was the daughter of the late Walter O. Moore Sr. and Mary E. (Glover) Moore. Mrs. Moore, who was raised in Preston Hollow, graduated from Middleburgh Central School in 1966, and went on to earn a two-year associate’s degree in food service at the State University of New York College of Agriculture and Technology at Cobleskill. On Labor Day 1969, she met Robert L. Moore of Medusa, whom she married on Oct. 3, 1970.
“They met at a boarding house where Mom worked,” Tammy said of her parents. “Dad’s cousin, Karen, had invited him to come be Mom’s blind date at the closing dinner for the season. Apparently, they liked each other; he asked if he could see her again; and they’ve been together ever since.”
On May 3, 1978, the couple adopted three siblings: Billy, Collene, and Darlene. On Feb. 23, 1979, Tammy was born to the family. Mrs. Moore served as treasurer for the local food pantry, spent summers cooking for Camp Medusa, worked in the cafeteria at Greenville Central Schools, and volunteered for the First Baptist Church of Westerlo. She assembled small bags of toys for children that accompanied their parents to church services.
“Kids get antsy in church,” said Tammy, “so, she started putting together bags, coloring materials, and quiet little toys that would keep kids occupied while they were in church.”
Mrs. Moore also worked at the old Dollar General in Greenville. She cleaned houses, provided caregiving for the elderly, was a preschool teacher, and had her own cake-making business.
Deeply interested in crafts, Mrs. Moore made many Christmas ornaments for people, and sewed for her friends and family.
“There’s a book bag she made me, and it’s a blue denim material, and it has stars and a crescent moon sewn onto it; I was probably in the seventh grade,” Tammy said. “Some of the older people she took care of, she made bibs that they could wear.”
And Mrs. Moore made each article special. “She’d use material that went along with their nature,” her daughter said. “So, if they liked hunting, she’d make something of a hunting picture on top.”
Another of Mrs. Moore’s daughters, Darlene Ogden, also remembered what her mother gave to others through her crafts.
“When the Cabbage Patch Kids first came out, all the girls we knew had Cabbage Patch Kids,” Mrs. Ogden said. “So, Mom actually made us dolls that looked just like the Cabbage Patch Kids. She let us pick out the names, and mine was Josephine.”
Mrs. Moore cultivated those skills within her children, too. “Three of my outfits were outfits I had made because she taught us the sewing patterns and how to use the machine,” Mrs. Ogden said of her mother. “The patience that she had, and we were quite young — 9 and 10 years old, and we could actually sew a whole outfit. She’d start off small; she’d teach us how to make a wraparound skirt, and then go to where we could sew full outfits. Before that, she would sew what we wore to school.”
In addition to her homemade outfits, Mrs. Ogden also brought her mother’s baking skills to school. In seventh grade, she won a contest for decorating a cake with a Halloween theme.
Tammy says that her mother’s cakes developed a reputation. “She turned it into a business for a while, and people would request cakes,” said Tammy. “She’s done wedding cakes; birthday cakes; graduation cakes; and special occasions, like the 50th anniversary of our camp,” she said, referring to Camp Medusa.
Those gifts will be passed along to Mrs. Moore’s descendants. “I have children of my own,” Mrs. Ogden said, “and now I can teach them things that Mom showed me.”
Mrs. Moore is survived by her husband, Robert L. “Bob” Moore of Medusa; her daughters: Collene of Schenectady; Darlene Ogden of Zephryhills, Fla.; and Tammy of Medusa.
Also surviving are nine grandchildren; her brother, Walter O. Moore Jr. of Fountainhead, Fla.; her nephews: Maurice Thomas Moore of Illinois; Dennison Moore of East Greenbush; Philip Cross of Montpelier, Vt.; Brian Cross and his wife, Dianna, of Earlton; his niece, Suzanne Lane and her husband, Ronald, of West Coxsackie; and brother-in-law, William H. Moore, of West Coxsackie.
Her son, William Howard Moore, died before her, as did her parents.
A funeral Service was held last Saturday, June 2, at the First Baptist Church of Westerlo.
