Obituary

Lillie Ellis (Griffith) Moore, 78 of Jackson, Kentucky passed away peacefully, Monday, January 31, 2022, at the Nim Henson Geriatric Center. She was the wife of the late Charles E. Moore, who preceded her in death on February 8, 2017. She was born in Jackson on July 26, 1943, to the late Granville and Mary (Oaks) Griffith. She was a member of the Christ Fellowship Church of Jackson and enjoyed attending as long as she was able. Mom also put a high priority on taking her three sons to church. Once her family was grown up and as her mobility decreased, she thoroughly enjoyed various ministerial programs on the WLJC TV station. She had been a faithful and devoted wife, mother, grandmother, sister, aunt and friend who loved cooking family meals, sewing, working crossword puzzles, watching UK basketball games along with any games being played by her three sons or grandchildren. She even enjoyed a fast-paced Nascar race. She was former co-owner and operator of McKnight's Upholstery Shop. She enjoyed the upholstering career of 27 years while serving Breathitt and surrounding counties and held dear to her heart the fellowship shared with each customer. She later moved to Newport, Kentucky and worked for the Internal Revenue Service Processing Center until a respiratory health event required early retirement in 1995. More importantly and a priority above all else, she depended on the faith and comforting strength she received from reading GOD's Word.
