Joan Graves Moore

A life spanning nearly 94 years, Joan Graves Moore was a testament to resilience, grace, and an unwavering dedication to our Lord Jesus Christ and those she loved. Born in the heart of summer in 1931, Joan witnessed the changing tides of history, embracing each era with an open heart and a curious mind. Her legacy is woven into the lives she touched and the memories she leaves behind—a tapestry of love, kindness, and quiet strength.

She was the sixth of seven children, born to Jewell and Mary Johnson. She was preceded in death by her parents Jewell and Mary, her brother Calvin (Buster), and five sisters; Rosemary, Edna, Betty, Pat and Dorothy, her first husband of 18 years Joseph Graves, her second husband of 44 years, George Jackson Moore, and a stepson Keith.

She is survived by her son Michael Joseph Graves and his wife Mayra, her daughter Kathy Eileen Fiechter and her husband Larry, three stepdaughters; Gwen, Sandy and Carla and one grandson, and 5 step grandchildren, and several great-grandchildren.

She will be greatly missed.
