Donald Lee Moyers, Sr. (Don), age 88 of Harrisonburg, Virginia, passed away on September 24, 2022.
Don was born in New Market on August 22, 1934, the first son of the late Pete and Eunice Moyers. He was a graduate of New Market High School and Strayer College. He went on to have a successful accounting career and retired from Riddleberger Brothers Inc.
He lived a life packed full with six children, community service and athletics. He loved baseball and played for the New Market Rebels for a few years. But more than any other sport, he had a lifelong passion for golf. He grew up playing at Shenvalee and later joined Spotswood Country Club where he was a lifetime member and a past president of the men’s club.
He was highly involved in the community – serving as Mayor of New Market for many years while his children were young. After moving to Harrisonburg, he became very active in the Lions Club and the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks, Lodge 450, where he served as past Exalted Ruler in 1971.
Don was predeceased by his parents, as well as his wife, Martha, who passed away in 2009, and his son, Matt who passed away earlier this year. He is survived by his children, D.L. and Debra Moyers from Harrisonburg, and their daughter, Blake; Debbie and Don Slappey from Roswell, Georgia and their children, Matt and Samantha; Mike and Carol Moyers from Stanardsville and their children, Shelley, Rusty, Bill, Katie and Mikey; Andy Moyers and Cary Moyers both from Harrisonburg; his step-daughter, Deena Catalone from Harrisonburg and her children Smith and Dylan. Also, he is survived by his brother, Bob from New Market and his children, Jan and Ernie Foltz and Jill and Bob Bush; and his brother, Bill and wife, Shirley of Woodstock and their children, Greg, Brad and Amy, and Kirk and Jennifer.
