Johnnie Mae Moore

Johnnie Mae Moore, daughter of the late John W. and Elise M. Moore, was born on September 15, 1952 in Virginia Beach, VA. She departed this life on Tuesday, February 26, 2002 after a lengthy illness. Johnnie May or “Johnnie”as she was known by many family members and friends, received her education at South Stokes Senior High School in Stokes County, North Carolina. Later after high school, Blue Bell employed Johnnie Mae for many years. She lived with her grandmother (Katie Hairston) for eight years until she passed away. After her death, Johnnie Mae moved back to Baltimore, Maryland. Upon moving back to Baltimore, Md., Johnnie Mae worked at the Afro-American newspaper for fifteen years. Later in her career, Johnnie Mae became a Dental Radiation Technologist for Mercy Medical. While being a full time employee and a full time mother, Johnnie also received certification in ceramics and recognition’s in spiritual instructor of the Maryland Baptist Convention and vacation bible school. Johnnie Mae was a member of Bibleway Missionary Baptist Church. She always wanted to go to church, but a lot of times her health would not permit her. She loved her pastor and church family. Besides her “my way or no way attitude”, Johnnie Mae was a very sweet woman. Anything that you wanted from her, she gave, always there to lend a helping hand and advice. Johnnie was a devoted mother to her son, who she cares for more than anything in this world. Another thing you could always count on with her is, Johnnie Mae always kept someone laughing about something. You could always learn something from her, or to give you a nickname. Johnnie has rejoined her parents and her late nephew Robert Phifer, who passed in 2001, in heaven. May all of them rest in peace.Johnnie Mae leaves behind to mourn her death: one son, Antonio D. Moore; two sisters, Floria Phifer and Idamae Moore: two brothers, Myles Moore and James Moore Sr.; three nephews, Charles McPhatten, Charles Phifer Jr. and James Moore Jr.; three nieces, Angelina Moore, Deborah Phifer-Muse and Denee’ Phifer; one aunt, Dorothy Danzy; one uncle, Ike Moore; four great-grand nephews, Allen Kelly, Deon Muse, Charles Phifer III and James Simms; three great-grand nieces, Shante Newman, Saesha Muse and Jamie Simms; a host of other relatives, friends and very special people who she cares abouta lot.
