Mr. and Mrs. Eugene Moore of New Tazewell, Tennessee, formerly of Dryden, Virginia, will celebrate their 70th wedding anniversary on February 27, 2016.
The couple was married February 27, 1946 in Bristol, Tennessee, with the Reverend A.B. Griffin officiating. Eugene is a retired coal miner and Fern is a homemaker. Eugene started as a song leader at the age of 31. He was ordained as a deacon on July 21, 1961.
They are the parents of Eddie Moore of New Tazewell, Tennessee; Janice Foxx of New Tazewell, Tennessee; Linda Lewis of Jonesville, Virginia and Jerry Moore of Johnson City, Tennessee.
They have been an exceptional role model for their family and strived to give their children a solid Christian home. They now have the pleasure of spending time with their six grandchildren and 12 great-grandchildren. The Moores place a strong emphasis on family and friends, which is evident in their every day deeds.
They occupy their time with woodworking and stitchery; Eugene crafts unique pieces in his workshop and Fern pieces and stitches her exquisite quilts in addition to her elegant embroidery. They enjoy entertaining in their home with delicious home-cooked meals and tantalizing desserts. Their door is always open to friends and family and their hospitality abounds. They love to travel domestically and internationally and Sundays will always find them in church.
As they live each day by their wedding vows, they continue to inspire all who are fortunate to know them.
