Mildred Ann Moore

Mildred Ann Moore, age 90, of Corbin, KY, passed away on Wednesday, May 14, 2025, at The Heritage Nursing and Rehabilitation Facility.

Born in Helton, KY, she was a woman of profound intelligence. Mildred's passion for knowledge led her to a rewarding career as a teacher at Princeton City Schools in Cincinnati, OH. Her love for education was evident in her pursuit of a bachelor's degree from Eastern Kentucky State College and a master's degree from Miami University, underscoring her commitment to lifelong learning. Mildred was not just smart, but also supportive and generous. She had a unique ability to open her heart wide to others, extending a hand of friendship that many were privileged to grasp.

Mildred was known for her radiant love for animals, flowers, and life's simple pleasures. Her home was a sanctuary for all creatures great and small, each one receiving her tender care and affection. As an avid gardener, she found joy in the change of seasons, eagerly anticipating the next planting season.

Her faith was an integral part of her life. A devoted follower of the Pentecostal faith, her spiritual journey was marked by a deep and abiding relationship with God. This faith provided the foundation for her generous spirit, and she lived her values every day, prioritizing love for people above all else.

She was preceded in death by her husband, Bossy, Moore; parents, Ester Saylor and Rose Howard France; stepfather, Lee France; brother, Gary Saylor; nephews, Michael Phillips, Mark Saylor, and Roland Ray Parker; and nieces, Rose Ann Smith, and Cara Elizabeth Parulekar.

She is survived by her sister, Marilyn Felts (Tom); brother, Donald Ray Saylor (Maureen); brother, Ester Saylor, Jr. (Kendra); special friends, Donnie and Angela Doan, Milly and John Burkhart, Sarah and Barry Johnson, M'lu Buxton, Abby Jackson, Jessica Flora, and Jerry Wells; and several Nieces, nephews, and other family members.

Visitation will be held from 12-2 pm on Saturday, May 17, 2025, at Vankirk-Grisell Funeral Home, where her funeral service will follow at 2 pm with Rev. John Burkhart and Rev. Bobby Joe Eaton officiating.

Burial will follow at Felts Chapel Cemetery in Corbin, KY. Pallbearers will be Phillip A. Russell, Matthew Arthur, Matthew Russell Arthur, Mason Arthur, Eli Russell, and Aragon Hart. Serving as an honorary pallbearer, Donnie Doan.

The family would like to extend their heartfelt gratitude to the nurses and staff at The Heritage for their devoted care of Mildred.
