Dorothy Frances Moore, 77, of Meadow Rue Lane, Crimora, went to rejoin her family in heaven on Thursday, September 25, 2008.

Dorothy was born May 7, 1931, in Augusta County. She was a member of the Church of God of Prophecy and worked for Roses Department Stores for 42 years. She liked to crochet and embroider, was an avid doll collector, but most of all, she loved spending time with her family.

She was preceded in death by her father and mother, Sam and Virgie Ralston; her step-father, Cecil Claytor; her husband, William A. "Bill" Moore Jr. (whom she wed on February 7, 1948); sons, Charles W. Moore and Stanley "Keith" Moore; a great-granddaughter Sarah Frances Hale; and a great-grandson, Jaimie Lee Hale; sisters, Nellie Thompson and Barbara Ann Baber; and brothers, Arthur Preston Ralston and Prentice Lee Ralston.

Surviving are her daughters, Diane Royer of Crimora and Ruby Cribb of Suffolk; a son, Dale Moore of Crimora; 14 grandchildren and 31 great- grandchildren.

A service will be held 3 p.m. Sunday, September 28, 2008, at McDow Funeral Home by the Reverend Shirley Spruell. Interment will follow at Port Republic Cemetery.

Active pallbearers will be Dwight Seamster Jr., Jesse Seamster, Billy Moore, Ricky Hale, Brian Bunn and Glenn Lamb.

Honorary pallbearers will be her many grandchildren.

The family will receive friends from 4 until 6 p.m. Saturday, September 27, 2008, at the funeral home, and other times at the residence of her daughter, Diane, at 222 Meadow Rue Lane in Crimora.

Dot was a wonder person and a great neighbor of 17 years..She and her family live across the road from me and you couldn't ask for better people and neighbors..Through the years we became more then neighbors, we became friends and felt like extended family members..Dot along with other family members that have already gone to be with God will be greatly missed... Her daughter Diane is one of the strongest people I know, she took care of her mother and brother Keith during their last days and made sure they had the best care and all the love anyone could ask for...Our prayers are with you...Donna&Kenny Bowles, Jay,Heather,Jill and Emma Bryant
