Helen Martin Moore, 101, of Martinsville, Virginia, passed away on Wednesday, December 13, 2023 at Kings Grant Retirement Community. She was born on February 22, 1922, daughter of the late John Green Martin and Marion Burch Martin.
In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her loving husband of 63 years, Edward Lee Moore, and her brother, John Green Martin, Jr.
Mrs. Moore was a long-time resident of Lynchburg, Virgina before moving to Kings Grant in 2014. She was an active member of West Lynchburg Baptist Church, and took great pride in her 27-year career as the dairy manager of the Park Avenue Kroger store. When not working, Helen spent her time caring for her parents and her husband, Edward. She took great pride in her home and was a great collector of recipes and words of wisdom that she came across in her reading. Her love of life, delicious food, jovial laughter, and gracious kindness will be greatly missed.
Helen is survived by her niece, Carol Martin Merchant and husband, Kurt; grand-nieces Sarah Dawson and Katelyn Rogers; grand-nephews John Merchant, Daniel Merchant and Benjamin Dawson, and many cherished in-laws.
Heartfelt thanks are given by the family to the staff of Kings Grant Assisted Living and Healthcare for their companionship and compassionate care to Helen during her time with them.
The family will receive friends from 12:00 – 12:50 pm on Tuesday, December 19, 2023 at Whitten Timberlake Chapel where a Celebration of Life will be held at 1:00 pm with Reverends Angela and Steve Zimmerman officiating. Burial will be private.
