Obituary

Susan Anderson Moore of Blythewood, SC, passed away on November 25, 2020 after a lengthy battle with Alzheimer's disease. Born on Aug 10, 1938 in Herkimer, NY, she was preceded in death by her parents, Harry Thornton Anderson and Geraldine King Anderson, as well as her brother-in-law, Dr. Daniel Schmitt. She is survived by her husband of over 59 years of marriage, John T. Moore; son, Bruce Errett Moore (Lynne); daughter, Melissa Moore Miller (Darrell); grandchildren, James Anderson Moore (Samantha), Hannah Grace Moore Till (Danny), Rachel Elizabeth Miller and Matthew John Miller; great grandson, Theadore Errett Moore; sister, Patricia Anderson Schmitt; brother-in-law, William Errett Moore (Yvette) and several nieces and nephews.

Susan was a graduate of the Ocala (FL) High School Class of 1956. She attended Mary Washington College and the University of Tennessee earning her BA degree in Early Education, Speech and Hearing in 1960. She was a member of the Sigma Kappa sorority. After graduation, she taught at West End Elementary in Knoxville and in 1961 married John Moore. The couple moved to Miami, FL where they spent the next 14 1/2 years. She resumed her teaching career in the Dade County School system and eventually resigned to raise her two children, Bruce and Melissa, and support her husband, John, as he continued his career in sports and education. Susan and John moved their family to Alabama while John pursued higher education. Once he completed his Doctorate degree, they returned to Miami for another three-year engagement and then moved to Columbia, SC. John joined the University of South Carolina athletics department and Susan continued to raise her family, build long lasting friendships, and support her loving husband.
