Cynthia Michele McJunkins Moore

Cindy was born in Fresno, California to the late Charles T. McJunkins and Loretta R. Long McJunkins.

Cindy’s life was centered around her family. She loved her life on the Farm with her husband of 40 years Jerry Lee Moore, a love that grew instantly from the first time they met. Cindy had a deep appreciation for nature and could bring a plant of any kind back to health by nurturing them, and growing her plants from seeds into beautiful blooms. She assisted Jerry with their farm animals and was instrumental in building their home together. An avid cook, she loved experimenting with new recipes every week. Cindy was also a talented artist, creating stunning paintings and drawings, and she embraced every new adventure with enthusiasm. Becoming “Nana” in 1995 was one of her greatest joys. She cherished and spoiled her grandchildren, delighting in buying gifts throughout the year and starting her Christmas stash well in advance. Her nieces and nephews held her in high regard, knowing they could always count on her love and support.

Cindy is survived by her devoted husband Jerry Lee Moore of Pickens, SC; daughter Misty Longino (Christopher) of Taylors, SC, and son Brent Moore of Pickens, SC; five grandchildren, Corine Sierra Jenkins (Michael), Mackenzie Moore, Brayden Moore, Emma Galbreath and Charlie Galbreath; one great grandson Michael Anthony Jenkins, III; and her sister Lisa Murphy of Easley, SC. She also leaves behind her nieces and nephews to cherish her memory.

She is preceded in death by her parents, Charles & Loretta McJunkins; daughter, Laurisa Anelle Galbreath; grandson Nathaniel Xavier Johnson, 2 brothers Charles Steven McJunkins and Jewell Thomas McJunkins; and a sister Laura Ellen Frilick.
