Janie L. Moore

Janie Louise Moore was born on September 15, 1930 in Anderson County, South Carolina to Charlie Mack and Jennie Lou Latimer. She was the eldest of 15 children. Janie received her salvation at an early age in South Carolina. After leaving South Carolina, Janie moved to Saginaw, Michigan where she married James Edward Moore. Five wonderful children were born to that union: three daughters, Peggy, Patricia (“Patty”) and Brenda, and two sons, Michael and David, both of whom preceded her in death. Janie was employed with the Saginaw School Board before retiring after 30 years of service. Upon retiring from the school board, she volunteered with the Reading Program at Houghton School. “Granny”, as she was affectionately known to everyone, was a true “Leader in the Village”. While attending Zion Missionary Baptist Church, she served on the Mother’s Board, the Mission Board and the Missionary Choir. She was a part of the Good Neighbor’s Mission and an active member of the Church Women United organization. Presently, she attended Corinthian Missionary Baptist Church where she enjoyed attending many services and Bible study groups. Janie truly loved her children and grandchildren. She could often be seen sitting on her front porch talking with family or neighbors and was known for her delicious cooking, especially her fried chicken, macaroni and cheese and 7-Up pound cakes. Janie received her victory in the form of a new, heavenly body on January 15, 2015. She leaves to cherish her memory, three children, Peggy Moore-Thomas (Detroit, MI), Patricia (Gary) Fowlkes (Memphis, TN), and Brenda Moore (Saginaw, MI); special “son” (nephew), Ralph Martin (Saginaw, MI); her grandchildren, Facishon Moore (Memphis, TN), James Moore (Jackson, MI), Desmond Fowlkes (Memphis, TN), Michelle Smith (Baltimore, MD), Dee Dee (Brian) Nelson (Southfield, MI) and Shila (Antuoine) Dews (Baltimore, MD); and her great-grandchildren, Ruddie Moore (Memphis, TN), Landen Moore (Swartz Creek, MI), Samijah, Desmond Jr., and Trent Fowlkes (Memphis, TN), Erin Crawford (Saginaw, MI), and Destiny and Antuoine, Jr. Dews (Baltimore, MD).
