Frederick Moore

On December 24, 2020 Frederick Leroy Moore of Thurmont, MD. passed.  He was born on June 10, 1941 to George Henry and Carolyn Elizabeth Moore.  On August 18, 1961 he married Clara Johanno Devilbiss (Moore) of Thurmont, MD, whom he is survived by.  The love they shared for 59 years was commemorated when they renewed their vows on their 13th, 25th, and 50th anniversaries.

He is also survived by their son Rob Moore and his wife Val of Dillsburg, PA, daughter Melissa Moore of Thurmont, MD, grandsons Ryan Moore of Dillsburg, PA, Matt Moore and his wife Alexis and great grandson Griffin of Great Mills, MD, his brothers George Moore and his wife Ellen of Martinsburg WV, Francis (Frank) Moore of Gettsburg, PA, and Wayne Moore of New Oxford, PA, as well as many nieces and nephews and their families. He was preceded in death by their daughter Kristy Dawn Moore of Thurmont, MD, his sisters Julia James of Harpers Ferry, WV, Grace Sipling of Gettysburg, PA, Josephine Storm of Gettysburg, PA, Ruth Kline of Pheonixville, PA, Sarah Spurlock of Orange City, Florida, brothers Henry Moore of Hanover, PA, and Larry Moore of Florida.

Fred worked for the Frederick County Highway Department driving a dump truck and plowing snow for 31 years, as well as Mountain Gate Family Restaurant for 41 years.  His friendly, honest, no nonsense personality revealed the gentle giant who would open his doors willingly to others in need.  He found delight in worshiping at Harriet Chapel Episcopal Church in Thurmont, MD where he served on the alter for over 50 years.

Upon retiring he spent his time taking care of his wife, working on wooden lawn crafts, and fixing outdoor lights for holidays which many would take delight in and remember.  He was a man who cared for all he knew as if they were family and will be missed dearly.

Memorial services will be held at 1 p.m. on Saturday, April 17, 2021, at Harriet Chapel Episcopal  Church, 12625 Catoctin Furnace Road in Thurmont with Rev. Sally Joyner-Giffen officiating.
