Ellen was born in Asheville, January 26, 1962. She remained there, caring deeply for her family and for helping others. As a nurse, many of her days were spent tending to the needs of her patients and their families.

Ellen was preceded in death by her mother and father, Myrtle Aidelade McCoy Moore and John William Moore.

Ellen was an amazing mother, grandmother, sister, Mombie, Bee, and mother in law. She loved fiercely and cared for her family above all else.

We will miss her dearly, and her impact was felt greatly by those around her in the nursing field. If you were impacted by her greatness, please hold onto that memory and pay it forward to others in her stead.

We love you B!
