The family of Mary Frances Robinson Moore is saddened to announce her passing on Sunday, February 2, 2025 at Amorem Hospice Care Center, she was 94 years young.
Frances was born on November 17, 1930 in Catawba County to the late Herman Flake Robinson and Marie Loftin Robinson.

In retirement, she enjoyed gardening, helping at church, and helping with her grandchildren. Our family celebrated her 94th birthday this past November, with over 30 relatives attending.

Our family will miss all the care she showed to us.
