Sharon, VT- Vivian Janet Miller Moore. 77, died July 30, 2019 at 10am suddenly!

She was born May 11, 1942, at the old Alice Peck Day Hospital in Lebanon, NH, daughter of Allen C. & Therese C. (Martin) Miller    She attended Hewittville School  in Pomfret, living all her childhood in Pomfret, and graduated from Woodstock High School.  She married Wilfred Don Moore in 1959 and spent the rest of her life on their farm in Sharon.

She enjoyed life and work on the farm and deeply loved Vermont's agricultural heritage. From gardening, raising flowers, enjoying animals, woodcutting and all related portions of agriculture she drew much satisfaction. Maintaining the heritage coming from the 1700s in the Moore Family of Pomfret and Sharon was an important part of Vermont's history in her way of perceiving the state.

For over twenty three years she shared volunteer youth work with Reginald Blair Within the community, elementary school and churches in Sharon, Hartford, South Royalton and Whiet River Junction, VT At United Methodist Church she was called "Mother Vivian" or Mother Wings", in jest of the many young people and "grandchildren" whom she considered "her kids".!

Especially enjoyed, have been many years of sharing the farm in the summer with grandchildren, her beloved cats; volunteer mini-missions which have included letter/note contact with shut-ins, church suppers, telephone encouragement to ill persons, participating in the Sharon Historical Society, the Old Home Day Association, The North Pomfret Ladies Circle, the Reginald Lee Blair Scholarship Fund and sharing time with those who are in need. For many years her family hosted European teachers the American Host Program. This resulted in several life long friendships with folks overseas.

In later years she gave more time to writing more seriously beginning wit the addition of a pet ruffed grouse named Paddy about whom she published a book. Becoming a secretary to several local groups also was a big part of her life. Combining the love of history, writing and sewing creation she was part of the North Pomfret Ladies Circle which began in 1893.

She is predeceased by her parents and survived by three sisters, Patricia Hoyt and Linda MacDonald of Ocala, FL and Beth Davie  of Rockledge, FL; one brother Michael of Sharon; a son Kirby Moore of Foley, MN; daughter Nicola Peele of La Grange, NC; three granddaughters Aimèe of Sharon and Troi of Sharon and Marie Rose of Fergus Falls, MN; adopted families, Reginald Canns of Princeton Junction, NJ and beth Cox and children of Quicy, MA, as well as nieces, nephews and many friends.
