Alonza James "Lonnie" Moore III, cherished husband of Carol Pruitt Moore, fought the good fight and finished his race on Monday, August 18, 2025. A lifelong resident of Tangier Island, VA, Lonnie was born on September 27, 1954 in Crisfield, MD to the late Alonza James Moore, Jr. and Edna Lee Sears.
