Highlights from a life grace with a rich legacy, longevity and lingering memories... Missionary Florence Mae Moore began her earthly journey in Springfield, Ohio on October 3, 1927. Born to the parents of Elder Europe and Gertrude Woods. Some years later after migrating to Flint, Michigan she became a product of the Flint Public School System, attending Parkland and Emerson schools and graduating from Flint Northern High School in 1945. Her spiritual heritage also began at a young age, connecting with Bethlehem Temple Church of Flint where her Dad became the Assistant Pastor. As her life progressed, she went on to marry and raise her four children, Dennis Jr., William, Juanetta and Juan. She also secured secular employment with General Motors Corporation, laboring 191/2 years with the Chevrolet Metal Fabricating Plant. Florence enjoyed helping people, especially her family and others in need. She shared her kindness and generosity. As the Lord blessed her, she blessed others… (“Give, and it will given to you; good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over..” Luke 6:38). After 40 years of being estranged from her early Christian training, she reconnected with Southeast Christian Church of Burton, MI where she loved working in the House of God. Among her myriad of duties, she embraced functioning as a Sunday School Teacher, a part of the Kitchen/Dining Room Staff, Summertime Sunday Worker, Lounge Usher, Baptismal Committee Attendant and also as the Vice Chairlady and the Chairlady of the Missionary Auxiliary, all during the early 90’s.
