Barbara Norris passed away on September 8, 2025, at Hill Hospital in York. Born on February 12, 1953, in York to Clifford Evans Moore and Marjorie Grubbs Moore, she earned her nursing degree from Livingston University. Barbara devoted many years to her career as a hospital nurse before transitioning to be the nurse at Gulf States Papermill, where she ultimately retired. Her passions revolved around nature, particularly in the realms of flowering and gardening. One of her most treasured hobbies was rock and fossil hunting in the nearby woods, creek beds, and riverbeds, which often drew family members to her home for these delightful adventures. Barbara also enjoyed taking cruises, especially alongside her sister. A loving mother, grandmother, sister, aunt, and friend, she will be deeply missed.

She is preceded in death by her parents, Clifford Evans Moore and Marjorie Grubbs Moore; and brother-in-law, Daniel "Danny" Patrick Hanley.
