Anne Moore Obituary

Anne Hollingsworth Thomas Moore died on January 24, 2019, marking the end of a decline that increased over the past year.

Anne was born on August 15, 1929. She grew up in a small house on the edge of the Thomas family farm and tree nursery near Valley Forge, Pa. Anne attended Old Eagle Elementary School, George School, and Swarthmore College, graduating in 1951.

Anne was active in the communities in which she lived as an adult: Lansdowne, PA, Washington, D.C. (co-director of the International Student House), Lawrence, KS, Wayne and West Chester, PA, and Northampton, MA. She was a member of the Friends Meeting and worked on and with a host of social justice, peace, and civic organizations.

She was predeceased by her parents, Raymond and Lydia (Hollingsworth) Thomas, her sister, Amy Hoopes, her husband, Tom Moore, and her daughter, Lydia Moore. She is survived by her two sons, Charles and Howard, two daughters-in-law, four grandchildren, and many cousins, nieces and nephews.

Anne was truly grateful for each and every person in her life.

A memorial service will be held at 1:30 on Saturday, February 2 at the Northampton Friends Meeting, with a potluck of light snacks to follow.

Anne was a constant source of inspiration and love during her and Toms years in West Chester, PA, then through keeping in touch when she moved to Northampton. May we all live such wonderful and valuable lives. Nothing but love for such a wonderful woman.
