He was employed by this company for 42 years, except for the time he served in the Navy during World War II.  He served in various capacities with the Blue Channel Corp.

This helped make the company one of the first to can crab meat. In addition to the Harris Atlantic Brand of crab meat, Mr. Miller and others also developed she-crab soup, shrimp bisque, and crab cakes as well as deviled crab meat.  After he retired in 1983, Mr. Miller was appointed to various advisory boards for the North Carolina Seafood Industry by Governor James Hunt and later by Governor James Easley.  Mr. Miller married his first love, Claire Elizabeth Tyler in the summer of 1942.

Ann Gertrude Congleton Moore

Ann Gertrude Congleton Moore of Everett’s Crossroads, Bath, age 70, was able to straighten her back and hokey pokey her way into the arms of Jesus on Sunday, February 27, 2022. She had fought her way through many serious health complications over the years, but God finally called her home.  Born on March 20, 1951, Ann was the youngest child of Edward Woodrow and Annie Gertrude Crisp Congleton “Town Grandmama,” (both deceased), and baby sister to Geneva Congleton Zucker (deceased), Edward “Eddie” (Brenda) Congleton of Washington, and William “Charlie” (Isabelle) Congleton of Chapel Hill, NC. Charlie and Ann shared a brother/sister bond like no other and would finish each other’s sentences, no matter the amount of time that passed between visits. Ann wanted her children to have the same bonds of sibling love.  On January 15, 1971, she married Randy Gray Moore of Bath, and together their quiver was filled with six children. Although they dreamed of having six boys to help on the farm, they were blessed with two boys and taught the four girls that followed to work just as hard, but smarter. Ann is survived by her husband, Randy, and her six children that she gave her all: Randy Gray, Matthew Tobias “Toby,” Marcia Dare (Allen Wells), Mia Alyson (Jamie Best), Megan Corrine, and Ashley Markhanna (Ellis Cullipher).  Family was everything to Ann, and she made sure our names carried memories of who we came from and who we would become one day.  Ann was raised a city girl, but embraced her new extended family, and loved her new country life in Bath with in-laws, Horace Gray and Wilma Woolard Moore (both deceased), Steve (Victoria) Moore, and Janet Moore, deceased, (Lenny Waters). She loved all her nieces and nephews, but due to proximity, was able to “mother” Erin (John Scott Cutler) and Lin (Megan) Waters and their children, Caroline, Kenley, and Wyatt. Even though she could not see the rest as much as she desired, she always enjoyed sharing the news of Al, Addison, Kent (Tonya), Zachary, Missy, deceased, (George), “Little Eddie,” Edward, Chloe, Gavin, Carter, Lindsay (Kirsten), Ethan, Riley, Luci, Sophie, Steven (Sabrina), Henri (Dori), Jamie (Nicole), and Ever.  Ann grew up on 11th Street in Washington, across from 11th Street Grocery, and there met her non-biological sister, Joy Jefferson Waters. She enjoyed sharing her filtered memories of their childhood adventures with her children, careful not to give any disobedient ideas.  When Ann became “Mama,” she unselfishly put her wants and desires on hold and her life became all about her children. She did not just serve as a mom, she was affectionately called “Coach Gert,” “Team Mom,” “Photographer,” “Director,” “Google MD,” “Teacher,” “Editor,” “Reviewer,” “Sounding Board,” “Drill Sergeant,” “Seamstress,” “Barber,” “Stylist,” “Short-order Cook,” “Babysitter,” “Laundry Angel,” and the list goes on depending on what role each child needed filled. She enjoyed projects and did not settle with just “good enough;” everything had to be above and beyond, as her perfectionist personality only allowed. She was an over-doer, because “Moore is Better!”  Her days were spent going from ballgame to ballgame, where she was the first fan on the field, long before the game would start; while she would be wearing a matching team shirt and shouting advice from the sidelines, aggressively on occasion. Ann grew up a tom-boy, playing street ball, and loving sports. When she was going through school (Washington High School, class of 1969), cheerleading was the only sport girls were allowed to participate in. Ann encouraged all six of her children to participate in every sport, even though it meant more work for her, being a taxi to carry us back and forth. Ann was the first full-size van uber, who hauled everyone around, before it was cool. She would turn the radio up and let everyone sing along, even though it had to have given her a headache. She had an open-door policy to all of our friends. Even though the house was not spotless, she never said no to allowing a friend, or six friends, to stay the night or the week, even if it meant more mouths to feed. Ann always wanted her children to look their best, be on time, be prepared, be on their best behavior, and give 100%.  The original six did not have anything on her grandchildren. Whether she was in the labor and delivery room or standing outside with her ear to the door, as she could not stand to see her children in pain, she was there from day one. Maya Ashlyn Best, Jameson Aubrey Best, Jules Moore Best, Emanuel “Cole” Cullipher, John Asher Best, Ellis “Caden” Cullipher, Christopher Michael Imes, Makayla Lynn Wells, Sophia “Sophie” Dare Imes, and the baby, Jase Axel Best, were each a reward of all the hard work that Ann invested in her children over the years. Even though she did not birth her grandchildren, they somehow became “hers,” and we had to learn to share them, like it or not. Her grandchildren were always welcome to come and stay, even though she did not feel her best, and she stopped whatever she was doing to give them her full attention. Her lap was always open to crawl back into, no matter your age or size.  It takes a village to raise a family, and Ann’s village included James and Carol Best of Pinetown, Gene and Annie Ruth Cullipher of Washington, and longtime neighbors, Dennis and Barbara Davis of Pinetown.  Ann grew up a Pam Pack, but easily transitioned into a Bath Pirate (Northside Panther). She worked as a Teacher’s Assistant in Kindergarten at Bath Elementary School for 28 years until retirement and loved EVERY MINUTE of it and continued volunteering her time, money, and talents for the students. Nana’s bus, her school explorer, had an extra seating row installed, to allow her to transport six of her grandchildren with her to school daily. Completing homework in her classroom was mandatory, while they waited for her to finish up her workday. Practice spelling tests on the way to school was a weekly objective. School did not stop in June. Nana’s academy was open all year long. Those lucky enough to spend the summers with her had worksheets, reading logs, and hands-on learning activities, made by her, to complete before any “playing” was allowed. SCHOOL CAME FIRST! She was passionate about providing children, not just her own, every opportunity to learn using many different methods. Ann enjoyed seeing all of her “students” grow up and loved the opportunity to see them out in the community and hear about their lives. Retirement brought her what she desired most: the chance to keep a grandbaby and teach him all that she could. It might involve bouncy balls and bean bags being thrown at a word written on a card for him to recite, or fishing from a bucket to learn the letter sound he caught; she tried to keep learning fun. She believed every lesson needed a craft, or two, or three, to drive home the message and make class more fun. Ann may have never been the lead teacher, but she loved all of her students and wanted the best for each and every one. Her passion and ministry was teaching, and she will be looking over all the children from Heaven.  Ann loved Christmas, second only to her family, as it was her favorite time of the year. She always enjoyed decorating for Christmas and wanted to start as soon as November rolled around. We want to celebrate her life by giving her one more family Christmas. Please wear your Christmas best and come join us in celebrating Ann’s life at Athens Chapel Church of Christ, Friday, March 4. Visitation will be from 5 pm to 6 pm in the fellowship hall. The funeral service will be officiated by Chris Hux and Dennis Davis at 6 pm in the church sanctuary. There will be a private graveside service at the Moore Family Cemetery on Creek Road prior to visitation.  Paul Funeral Home & Crematory of Washington is honored to serve the Moore family.  (Paul Funeral Home)

Aubrey T. Moore lost his courageous battle with IPF (Interstitial Pulmonary Fibrosis) Thursday morning, November 5, 2020.  Just like he dealt with all experiences in life, Aubrey managed his illness with strength and grace.  He wanted to spend as much time with his loved ones as possible.  During his final days he was surrounded by his children, grandchildren, great-grands, and close family friends.  Married to and survived by his high school sweetheart, Audrey Pearl Buck, the love of his life and best friend.

Horace Gray Moore, of Creek Road, Bath, age 91, breathed in his first lungful of heavenly air with ease, in the early hours of Monday, April 3, 2017, as he stood straight up, stretched out his arms, and walked with a spring in his step, alongside of his Savior, to be reunited with his loved ones, whose memories filled his daily thoughts.  Horace was born on September 26, 1925, to Mark Hanna and Marcia Lee (Oden) Moore, and became brother to Edna (Woodrow) Holloman, Marcia Dare (Marion) Cutler, all deceased, Mark Hanna (Phyllis) Moore of Honolulu, Hawaii, and Mary (Jimmy, deceased) Jackson of Wilson.  On December 24, 1948, he married Wilma Woolard, and together they were blessed with three children, Randy (Ann) Moore of Pinetown, Steve (Victoria) Moore of Bolivia, NC, and Janet (Lenny) Waters of Washington.

He is survived by 10 grandchildren and 10 great-grandchildren, each having a special and unique relationship: Randy Gray and Toby Moore, Dare (Sage) Wiley, Mia (Jamie) Best, Megan Moore, Ashley (Ellis) Cullipher, Erin (John Scott) Cutler, Steven Moore, Lin Waters, and Jamie Moore, Maya, Jameson, John, and Jase Best, Cole and Caden Cullipher, Michael and Sophia Imes, and Caroline and Kenley Cutler. Be-Bop was a great cook; all the grandchildren looked forward to Christmas each year, waiting for him to give approval to dive into his homemade fudge. To be chosen to assist in the preparation was an honor, but most only wanted the opportunity to be the official taste-tester of that year’s batch. Throughout his life, there were moments every grandchild felt his love.  Horace graduated from Bath High School in 1943. In the early part of his life he farmed the family land, eventually passing the torch to Randy and Toby. He worked the remainder of his life at the Beaufort County Health Department until he retired at 62. While at the Health Department, he inspected septic tanks and graded restaurants for health and safety. He was respected at his job and proud that he could assist in maintaining the integrity of the public’s health from unsanitary dining establishments, as well as being able to aid patrons in septic tank approvals. He was always willing to give advice to those who wanted to do it correctly. Horace was a lifelong member of Athens Chapel Church of Christ. Over his lifespan, he served as a Sunday School Superintendent, Trustee, Deacon, and Elder. Horace enjoyed the sounds of music and singing; he sang in a men’s quartet and in the church choir for several decades.  Visitation with the family will be held in the fellowship hall at Athens Chapel Church of Christ, in Bath, at 1 p.m. on Wednesday, April 5, 2017 and at other times at the home of Randy and Ann Moore.

Wilma Bennett Woolard Moore

Wilma Bennett Woolard Moore, of Creek Road, Bath, age 83, heard her name whispered with clarity and brilliance, in the early morning hours of Saturday, September 07, 2013. Now she is lavishing the great reward, the ultimate Homecoming, as she has been reunited with her Lord, family, and friends.   Wilma was born on April 22, 1930 to Robert & Bleakah Woolard and became little “Sister” to Mark Woolard, all who have gone on before her. She married Horace Gray Moore, Be-Bop, on December 24, 1948, and together, they were blessed with three children, Randy (Ann) Moore, Steve (Victoria) Moore, and Janet (Lenny) Waters. Janet preceded her in death in 2010. Her family continued to grow with grandchildren, Gray and Toby Moore, Dare (Sage) Wiley, Mia (Jamie) Best, Megan Moore, Ashley (Ellis) Cullipher, Erin (John Scott) Cutler, Steven Moore, Lin Waters, Jamie Moore, and eight great-grandchildren. She adored all of them, and they felt the same way of her.  Wilma graduated from Washington High School in 1948. She retired from Sampson’s Shirt Factory after 41 years of service. She also worked at Charcoal Service Company in Bath and Weyerheuser Tree Farm. She cleaned Athens Chapel for 30 years and taught 4 & 5-year-olds Sunday School at Athens for over 50 years, where she was a faithful member.  If you were to ask her what her greatest accomplishment in life was, she would have never answered with an award or an accolade of service. She would simply say it was her family. In every aspect of life there is a lesson to be learned. And so with this, the family would like to share some of Wilma’s lessons on how to live a life worth living.  Put God first. With God all things are possible, and Wilma believed this and lived it daily. Pray. Pray for the things you need, as well as for others’ needs. Give. Give money to those who need it, if you can spare it, but above all, give of your time. Go out and meet your neighbors. Be active in the community. Help those who need it. Visit. Stop in and see an old friend and share a few minutes of your time or give of your time to someone who could use a friend. Bite your tongue. Sometimes it’s best to say nothing. Evil words only spur more evil. Be happy with what you have, because many have less. Do not dress cheaply. Respect what God gave you. Play hard, but work harder. Spend some extra time doing it right the first time. Be smart with money. Get what you need, not everything you want. Save money for a rainy day; that’s what sock drawers are for. Love. You do not have to like them, but you are commanded to love them. Do not hold a grudge. Forgive, as God did us. Take care of your teeth; if you don’t it will cost you a fortune. Smile, even when you do not feel like it. It’s okay to act silly every now and then. Laugh loud and often, it’s good for the body and mind. Have compassion. You may never know how a kind word can ease someone’s pain. Listen. Listen. Listen. You would appreciate hearing the same story over and over if you were not able to hear. Watch and learn from the elders around you. They are full of wisdom and knowledge, if you would just stop and let them share. Never say, “I will tell you later.” Tell them now. Make your own opinions. Do not listen to gossip and make judgments on hearsay; everyone makes mistakes. It is what you do with that mistake that determines who you are. Discipline yourself. If not, someone else will pick your spanking switch out for you. Yes, she believed in spanking. Raise your children by God’s word, and you will not fail as a parent. Get your lessons done. An education will take you far, but motivation and determination will take you all the way. Do not make excuses for your disabilities. Do the best you can with what God gave you. There is good in everyone; find that goodness and remember it. Don’t let your Bible get dusty, read it often. There is always something new to learn. Learn to swim or you will be sitting on the edge, watching, in the blazing sun. Wilma used simple lessons to help her children and grandchildren make good decisions. Brake before the curve, accelerate in the curve, and above all, keep your eye on the white line. Slow down and think about things before you make rash decisions. Yet, when once decided, stick to it and do it to the best of your ability. Do not lose sight on the goal or deviate too far from the path.  Wilma lived her lessons; she was a true testament and believed your walk with God would show the world who you really are. Not only did Wilma instill Godly values and morals into her children and grandchildren, she touched the lives of many in Beaufort County. She did not know the meaning of the word stranger.  With deepest sorrow, the Energizer battery has run out, and her time on Earth has come and gone. Now she can finally hear Janet leading the choir of angels.  The family will receive friends Sunday, September 8, 2013 at Athens Chapel Church of Christ, located in Bath, from 6 to 8 p.m. and at other times at the home. A Celebration of Life service will be held at 2 p.m. Monday, September 9, 2013 at Athens as well. Chris Hux will be leading the service. Grandsons and grandsons-in-law will serve as pallbearers. Wilma will be laid to rest in the Moore Family Cemetery, across from her home.  Paul Funeral Home and Crematory in Washington is honored to serve the Moore family.  (Paul Funeral Home)

Helen Josephine Davis Myers

Helen Myers, who built a small florist shop into a household name in Washington, N.C., passed away on November 15, 2012 at the age of 93. She is remembered by family and friends as a generous and creative soul whose love for her flowers and her gardening was surpassed only by her love for her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren.  A graveside celebration of her life will be held Saturday, December 15, 2012 at 11:00 AM at Oakdale Cemetery. A reception for family and friends will follow the service at St. Peter's Episcopal Church.  Born Helen Josephine Davis on June 14, 1919, she was the youngest of nine children in the Beaufort County farming family of Joseph John Davis and Sallie Oden Campbell Davis. Losing her father at an early age and the daughter in a family of almost grown children, she was raised largely by three of her sisters – Emma Davis Gordineer, Lillian Davis Leggett, and Carrie Davis Johnson.  Her hardscrabble childhood may have helped create her famously independent, nothing-is-impossible approach to life. It was an 18-year old Helen Davis, fresh out of high school in 1937, who took her first job as a bookkeeper at Woolworth’s department store in downtown Washington, N.C. In 1943, as the nation was deep into the second World War, she was promoted to store manager – a rarity even in a wartime era of expanding roles for women in the workplace.  That experience may have sparked the self confidence that propelled her into a lifetime of entrepreneurship -- including J.MarSal’s, a women’s apparel shop on the Washington waterfront in the 1970’s; and Korner Kupboard, a shopping mall restaurant in the 1980’s.  But none were as dear to her as the business that started it all: Myers Florist.  Helen Davis married John Gray Blount Myers in 1944, and the next year they opened a small flower shop in a small back room of the family home on the corner of Main and Harvey streets. Myers Florist quickly became known by locals as the place to go for everything from special arrangements to simple bouquets. It was a family business, but Helen Myers was its singular guiding force.  And it was because of her that Myers Florist became a local institution, thriving for a remarkable 64-years between 1945 and 2009.  John Myers died in 1984, but Helen faithfully continued on, working nights, weekends, and holidays to design what were surely tens of thousands of flower arrangements. The tiny shop was always filled with the smell of fresh cut flowers and the sound of her laughter.  Her devotion to the shop was well known, but it paled in comparison to her love of family. Showering three generations of children with unconditional love, she was the true guiding force in their lives. From her famous fried chicken to original oil painting gifts and lounge chair snuggles, Helen Myers gave her heart and soul to a family that was blessed to have her for so many years.  Helen Myers is survived by her children, John Gray Blount Myers, III, of Manteo, N.C. and Sally Elizabeth Myers Pruden, of Washington, N.C.; daughter-in-law, Jacqueline Cox Myers of Kill Devil Hills, N.C.; and son-in-law, Ronald Vincent of Greenville, N.C. Her daughter, Marcia Helen Myers Vincent, preceded her in death in July 2003.  She is also survived by her five grandchildren, John Gray Blount Myers, IV, of Sacramento, Calif.; Kathryn Vincent Leonard, of Centreville, Va.; Elizabeth Vincent Bauer, of Greenville, N.C.; Nancy Myers Eddins, of Charlotte, N.C.; and Elizabeth Grizell Pruden, of Kill Devil Hills, N.C.; and by seven great-grandchildren. All of them knew her as their beloved “Noo-Noo.”  In her later years, she relied on the loving friendship of Ann Ross and Charles “Fluffy” Bowen, Jackie Tyndall, all of Washington. And that’s to say nothing of dozens of other dear friends, the final care of nurses and staff at River Trace Nursing Center, and a community that knew her best by the simple beauty she delivered in vases and corsages for decades.  (Hillside Funeral Home)
