Betty Lou Moore

Betty was born in Athens, Ga. in 1931 to the late Clayburn and Beulah Chapman. She was a member of Ross Chapel Baptist Church. Mrs. Moore was a hardworking woman who never backed down from a challenge. The very definition of a strong family matriarch, she worked for years at a sewing plant, lead kitchen staff at Thrashers, and retired as a housekeeper for Harold and Betty Garrett.

In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her husband of 50 years, William “Billy” Moore; daughter, Patricia Jordan; grandchild, Josh Jordan; and many of her siblings.

Mrs. Moore is survived by her sister and brother-in-law, Florence Nell and Jimmy Hattaway; her daughter and son-in-law, Dianne and Darrell Garrett; her son and daughter-in-law William “Butch” and Brenda Moore; grandchildren, Kristy Johnson, Tammy Jordan, Wendy Jordan, Katie and Justin Howell; great-grandchildren, Sierria Johnson, Whitney Chandler, Christian Johnson, Summer Vicari, Morgan Barnes, Courtney Palenkas, Trey Palenkas, Rylee Belfield, Kaylee Jordan, Jayton Howell, Ava Howell, Harper Howell, Jaxon Howell; 12 great-great grandchildren; and a number of other family members.

Graveside services will be held Wednesday, December 29, 2021, at 11:00 a.m., at Evergreen Memorial Park.
