Vivian G. Radden Wilkerson Moore

1941 - 2024

Today, I honor the life and legacy of the sweetest mother in the world, Mrs. Vivian G. Radden Wilkerson Moore. She touched so many lives as an educator, counselor, ordained minister, mother figure, prayer warrior, entrepreneur, and most importantly as a woman who truly loved the Lord. Her mission in life was to do all she could to help others, especially children, youth, and young adults. My mother was a proud graduate of Anderson College and Washington University. Those institutions, along with a God given gift, prepared her for a career in education that spanned over 40 years and included working for Chicago Public Schools and University City, Hazelwood, Webster Groves, and Rockwood School Districts. She retired from Rockwood in 2002 where she served as an administrator, member of the Superintendent's Cabinet, and Director of the Voluntary Interdistrict Choice Corporation and Auxiliary Services. My mom also sought to make a difference in young children's lives for over 30 years at her pre-school, The Children's Academy. Additionally, she worked extensively locally, nationally, and internationally with the Church of God in Anderson, Indiana in numerous capacities. She leaves to cherish her memory her devoted husband, Frank Moore, Jr.; loving daughter, Evelyn B. Wilkerson; and a host of other close relatives and friends.
