Elizabeth Moore

Betty Moore passed away peacefully on November 15, 2022,

with family members at her side.

She was born on 9/28/1944, in Velasco, Texas, the second child

of her parents, Lewis Franklin Grafius and Fiona McNab Grafius.

Her childhood years were spent in the Houston area where she

attended Bellaire High School. She served as Secretary of her

senior class before graduating in 1962. She then attended the

University of Texas in Austin, graduating in 1965 with a Bachelor

of Science Degree in Mathematics. After graduating she first

taught mathematics at an Austin middle school and later at her

alma mater, Bellaire High School. During this time, Betty married

and had 2 children - a son, Scott, and a daughter Lori.

Betty’s children were her priority throughout her entire life. During

the 1980’s she decided to expand her career in order to better

provide for her family as a newly single parent. She soon joined

State Farm Insurance as an Independent Agent in Houston, then

later moved her agency to Stafford, Texas. She developed and

headed a very successful agency, which grew to require three

additional employees and provided services to many long-time,

loyal clients.

After retiring in 2002, she continued to devote herself to her

children, helping them through college and advanced education.

She maintained relationships with her many life-long friends,

colleagues, siblings and their expanding families. She enjoyed

enjoyed traveling, socializing with friends and celebrating

holidays with loved ones. She loved meeting new people and

making new friends.

In 2013, she made the move to San Antonio to help her daughter

who was in medical school and pregnant with her first child. She

was eventually known as “Nana” to her two beloved

grandchildren. She treasured this time living with her family as

her “babies” became the loves of her life.

Betty will be remembered by those who love her as a vibrant,

happy woman. She had an incredible ability to forget troubles

and move on to enjoy whatever came next. She never turned

away a cat in need and was quick to welcome strangers. Betty

was truly a “people person” and was happiest when making new

acquaintances and forming valued friendships. Maintaining

relationships with friends and family was her greatest joy.

She is survived by:

Son, Scott Franklin Moore, Ft. Worth, TX

Daughter, Dr. Loren Elizabeth Fisher MD, Leander, TX

Sister, Judy Grafius Griffith, Georgetown, TX

Brother, Jack McNab Grafius (wife, Kathy Wyant Grafius),

nephews, and other expanded family members, many of whom
