Vida Mae (Moore) Vaughn

Vida Mae Moore Vaughn, 91, of Decatur, GA, passed away November 16, 2018, surrounded by her loving family. She was born April 5, 1927, to Fernando Whitney and Susie Anna Moore in Colbert County, AL. In addition to her parents and 9 siblings, she was predeceased by her husband of 61 years James Andrew Vaughn. She is survived by her 3 daughters, Leta (Rick) Simpson, Susan (Stan) Bexley, and Andrea (Mike) Waters; 4 grandchildren, Michael (Kelly) Whitley, Jason (Lesley) Whitley, Sarah Waters, and Emily Waters; 7 great-grandchildren; and 2 great-great-grandchildren.

While working as a telephone operator for South Central Bell in Sheffield, AL, Vida met her future husband Andy on a blind double date set up by one of her sisters. Vida and Andy were married on Valentine's Day in 1949. Once their first daughter was born, the couple determined that it would be best for her to leave South Central Bell. Vida then began her longest career of mother and homemaker. She was a faithful member of the church of Christ for many, many years and brought her daughters up in the nurture and knowledge of Christ, for which her daughters will be eternally grateful. She will be greatly missed by her family and many friends.
