 A private family graveside service will be held on Thursday, September 3, 2020 at the Spring Hill Cemetery in Nashville, TN. 

Nancy Claire Sadler Moore died at her home in Dickson, TN on Saturday, August 29, 2020.  For those desiring, memorials may be made to the Martin Methodist College Henry E. and Annie Lee Moore Endowed Scholarship Fund or the charity of your choice. 

Nancy was born on January 15, 1930, to LeRoy and Bertina Sadler of Nashville. 

She attended John Early Elementary School and Isaac Litton High School before pursuing further education at Martin Junior College in Pulaski, where she earned an Associate’s degree in 1950; and Scarritt College in Nashville, where she graduated in 1952 with a Bachelor’s degree in Christian Education. 

Marriage in 1950 to Maurice Brown Moore led to 68+ years of faithfully serving by his side as he pastored United Methodist churches in Middle Tennessee and as they reared their children. 

After their children had finished elementary school, Nancy taught preschool for many years.  For a few years, she served as Youth Coordinator at church.  She, with Maurice, also led many camping retreats for 5th and 6th graders, for youth, and for families.  Her quiet leading and teaching was a beautiful example of service and love. 

The family camped quite a bit, too, making cross-country treks every few years to visit Maurice’s family and to see the US.  They also camped closer to home, often with extended family and friends.  A wonderful cook and manager at home, she also excelled at cooking on a propane stove at a campsite, as well as managing the family from a passenger seat and a pop-up camper. 

Nancy was active most of her life in the United Methodist Women.  She also spent countless hours sewing, making quilts, and crocheting for charity and for loved ones. 

Nancy was preceded in death by her daughter, Annemarie Moore, and by her husband, the Rev. Maurice Brown Moore. 

She is survived by her son, John Keith Moore (Deborah) of Dickson; daughters, Carol Elaine Moore of Dickson, and Mary Susan Bradshaw (Keith) of Centerville; a sister, Shirley Ann Eliason of Dickson; 5 grandchildren, Laura Ann Evans (Sam), Claire Elaine Ryan (Paul), Kyle Joseph Bradshaw (Mariah), Abigail Sadler Moore, and Luke Justice Bradshaw; and seven great grandchildren.
