Organizer Denise H Moore Memorial Fund
Organizer of 4th Annual Run for Dee Dee 5K
The Denise H. Moore Memorial Foundation is being set up in honor of an incredible woman. Denise was a wife, a daughter, a sister, an aunt, a granddaughter, a niece, and a cousin. She was also an expectant mother of two unborn twins, Lucas Kenneth and Addison Clara, who have also joined her in eternity. Her family and friends grieve the loss and the gaping hole left in her absence, but we also have a strong desire to carry on her memory. In addition to being so much to so many friends and family, Denise was a National Board Certified teacher. She found out the night of her passing that her National Board Certification had been accepted for renewal. Along with Denise, her husband Levi is also an elementary school teacher. With education being their shared mission, a memorial foundation has been set up to fund other teachers in their journey to receive National Board Certification. We welcome your support in continuing Denise's legacy through this memorial foundation.
