Betsy Moore Obituary, Betsy Moore of Pawlet has died

Betsy Moore Obituary, Death – Betsy Moore, age 95, passed away on November 19, 2022, at the home in which she was born in Pawlet, Vermont. Betsy Ann was born on April 25, 1927, in Pawlet, the daughter of Herbert and Luella (Phillips) Croff. She was a 1945 graduate of Burr Burton Seminary in Manchester. She then attended Albany Business College. She worked for a brief time in Albany before returning back to Pawlet and married John Faxon Moore. They had two daughters, Elaine and Carol, and a son, John. Betsy was one of the initial workers at The Station Restaurant in Pawlet. For 32 years she made the grill her own, everyone knew Betsy! Customers had best make it in the door a minimum of 15 minutes before closing or they will be burdened with prepping for the next day.

After leaving the Station, Betsy became the famed “Grandma Betsy” at Meadow Wee Day Care. She was a big benefit to Lisa Moore who still manages the day care. Kids now in their teens and older still recall Betsy’s pizzas and cinnamon buns. Her family even had her recipe immortalized on a J. K. Adams cutting board. Betsy liked traveling & experiencing new places. She enjoyed road vacations and camping with her kids around the U.S., even climbed Mt. Katahdin in Maine.

Her children will remember their mother as always eager to help people, and never saying no to attempting anything new. She enabled them to grow up as their own person, supported their choices and loved them constantly. She will be deeply missed by many. She is survived by her children Elaine Atnip (Ray), Carol Moore, John Moore (Lisa); grandchildren Megan Bishop (Joe & Baby Bishop!), Kayla Moore, and Ethan Moore; and nieces & nephews.

Betsy’s wish is that donations be given to the Pawlet Scholarships Committee, PO Box 206, Pawlet, VT 05761. Her grandchildren benefitted from this local initiative, as did many Pawlet neighbors. A Celebration of Betsy’s life will be place on Saturday, November 26, 2022, from 2-5 PM at the Pawlet Town Hall.
