Anita R. Moore

July 25, 1929 - May 8, 2021

Softly in the morning, you heard a gentle call you took the hand God offered you and quietly left us all... Anita R. Moore, 91, of Rome, PA went to her heavenly home on Saturday morning, May 8, 2021. Anita was born on July 25, 1929 on Harmony Hill, Wysox, PA, the daughter of the late Atla and Eugenia (Werkheiser) Roof. She attended Towanda High School and later attended Ridley Lowell Business school where she learned the skills to become an administrative assistant. For many years, Anita worked at Sylvania. On July 15, 1950 Anita married Archie J. Moore and together they shared 60 years together until his passing on July 19, 2010. “And in the end it's not the years in your life that count; it's the life in your years. ” —A quote from Abraham Lincoln, and one that embodied Anita’s years she spent with us. She always spoke a kind word about everyone, and any person who came to visit never left hungry. She enjoyed entertaining family and having dinner with friends. Upon retirement, Anita and Archie enjoyed wintering in Florida and also camping with family. Anita loved flowers, volunteering, and everyone and everything! She was full of life, love and pride of her children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren. Anita will be greatly missed by her children: Debra (Douglas) Hicks of LeRaysville, PA and Richard Moore of Rome, PA; daughter-in-law June Moore of Warren Center; her precious grandchildren: Amanda (Julien) Fey of Ithaca, NY, Michael Strope of Tennessee, Keisha (Shane) Heivly of Montoursville, PA, Mindy (George) Emerick of Wellington, FL, and Tyler (Stacey) Moore of Old Forge, PA; her great-grandchildren: Elodie and Matéa Fey; Vivian and Lucian Helivly, Gavin and Aidan Emerick, Connor, Kayleigh, and Emily Moore; sister-in-law Norma Moore; brother-and-sister-in-law Bud and Regina Roof. She was welcomed into heaven by her parents; her husband Archie J. Moore; a son James M. Moore; grandsons: Jordan and Jason Moore; sisters: Eunice Eddy, Virginia Eddy, Joyce Mills, and Beverly O’Conner; and brothers: Charles Roof and Malcolm Roof. Abiding with Anita’s wishes there will be no services. Memories and condolences may be shared by visiting her guestbook at www.sutfinfuneralchapel.com.
