Betty Moore

Betty Moore was born on September 17, 1951 with her late twin brother, Billy, in Salisbury, Maryland to the late James Price, Jr. and Katherine Wright Price. Surrounded by her loving family, God sent an angel to usher her home on Wednesday, December 30, 2015, at Peninsula Regional Medical Center in Salisbury, Maryland after a courageous battle with lung cancer. Betty received her formal education in the Wicomico County Public School System and graduated from James M. Bennett High School in 1969. She furthered her education by attending Strayer University College. She started her professional career as an employee for the U.S. State Department in Washington, DC. She later moved back to Salisbury where she was employed by WBOC 16, WMDT 47 and Dresser Wayne until the company closed. Her last employment was with Home Depot until she was diagnosed with lung cancer in 2009. On May 7, 2000, Betty was united in holy matrimony to Roland Lee Moore. To this union, a son, Sean, was born, whom she loved very dearly. At an early age, Betty accepted Christ as her Savior and joined First Baptist Church in Salisbury under the pastorate of the late Rev. Judson Chappelle Mills and used her talent singing with Temple Choir. She also would attend church services at New Hope Baptist Church and Community Christian Church which are located in Salisbury. Betty was a beautiful person with a loving personality and humble spirit that attracted many people to her life. She loved her family and would display her affection with hugs and kisses. Betty also had a sense of humor but she would ask you 50 million questions and expect you to answer all of them. J In her spare time, Betty loved to do crossword puzzles and go to the horse races. She also loved to play “spades” and “bid whist” with family and friends. Betty especially enjoyed the Labor Day family gatherings at her brother, James’ house. Even when the disease ravaged her body but not her soul, she accepted her physical affliction like the most heroic soldiers and yet she never gave up hope. Betty was a strong faith fighter and remained loyal and steadfast to the end of her earthly life. Betty’s fond memories will be cherished always by: her loving husband, Roland and son, Sean, both of Salisbury, Maryland; one step-son, Michael Moore of Seaford, Delaware; one step-daughter, Carmelita Mc Million of Frankford, Delaware; three brothers, Robert (Lucille) Price of Silver Springs, Maryland, James Edward (Teresa) Price of Eden, Maryland and Jerry (Lucky) Price of Mardela Springs, Maryland; three sisters, Willie Mae Brown of Eden, Maryland, Angelia Price of Fruitland, Maryland, and Ruby Gilmore of Salisbury, Maryland; two aunts, Isabella Sailor of Hartford, Connecticut and Inez Price of Pompano Beach, Florida; one brother-in-law, Paul (Vivian) Moore of Delmar, Delaware; one sister-in-law, Betty Moore of Bridgeville, Delaware; six step-grandchildren, and a host of nieces, nephews, cousins, other relatives and friends. Four special friends whom she loved dearly: Marjestine Brown, Brenda Brinson, Devoy Taylor and Jackie Ross. In addition to her parents and twin brother, she was also preceded in death by two nephews, Michael Price and Bruce Brown.
