Obituary
MAXINE GAIL WHARTON MOORE
was born in Nassawadox, Virginia on May 12, 1949 to the late Ophelia Downing Wharton and Clinton Wharton. She graduated from Mary N. Smith High School and upon graduating from high school she continued her education and graduated with a Bachelor's of Science Degree from Virginia State University. Prior to completing her degree, she married the love of her life, Mr. Richard W. Moore. Maxine always wanted to strive for everything that she could and so she decided to continue her education and graduated with a Master's Degree from Old Dominion University.
Maxine, Gail or "MeMa" as Ashley affectionately called her, believed that every child should be able to go to school and be successful, and it is because of this that she became and educator and taught for over thrity-five years for Accomack County Public Schools. She taught classes in the areas of business and mathematics. She made all of her students understand that they could achieve anything that they put their mind to. For many of her students, math was no longer a foreign subject, but rather math was easy and all math phobia walls had been torn down.
Maxine always loved church. When she was young she was a member of Macedonia A.M.E. Church of Accomac, Virginia. After getting married and relocating to Northampton County, she joined the African Baptist Church where she served as the Clerk, Assistant Chairman of the Trustee Board, Sunday School Teacher, Founder and Advisor of the New Generation Choir and President of the Pastor's Aides Ministry.
Maxine is survived by her loving husband, Richard Moore and two children, Richard Moore, Jr of Cheriton, Virginia and Dr. Shante' Moore Austin of Lynchburg, Virginia; a granddaughter, whom she loved dearly, Ashley Austin of Lynchburg, Virginia. She is also survived by four sisters-in-law: Susie Simpkins of Bloxom, VA, Carrie Dickerson of Philadelphia, PA, Obelia Wright and Margaret Moore both of Cheriton, VA; two brothers-in-law, John Dickerson of Philadelphia, PA and Robert Moore of Cheriton, VA; a host of nieces, nephews, cousins and other loved ones.
Sorrowfully submitted,
The Family
