Aug. 2, 1934-Jan. 26, 2014
WILMINGTON -- Edna Watkins Moore, 79, went to be with the Lord on Sunday, Jan. 26, 2014, at her home.
Edna was born on Aug. 2, 1934, in Elizabeth City, Va., daughter of the late George Edward Watkins and Dora Mae Creel Watkins. She was also preceded in death by her beloved husband of 42 years, William Glen Moore; son, Darrell E. Dismukes; sisters, Ida W. Glover and Nellie W. Batten; and her niece, Judith Kay Davis.
Edna retired from GE after 33 years of dedicated service. She was a longtime and faithful member of Freedom Baptist Church. She loved her church and all her close friendships she had made there. She enjoyed traveling and always found time to shop for herself or any one of her family members. She was a very generous, giving person who would not only give you her time but attention. She never met a stranger. Once you were her friend, you were her friend for life, especially if you liked to shop. She will sadly be missed. Her legacy will live on with her family and the numerous friends she made in this life.
