Mary Jane Eddington Moore

Mrs. Mary Jane Eddington Moore was born August 3, 1947, to the union of the late Mr. Frank Eddington and Mrs. Louella Lay Eddington Reeves of Dyersburg, TN. She was raised in the Middle Tennessee area and developed a deep love for the outdoors, an abiding passion she would carry throughout her life. In her adult years, she would establish her family, raising her children. She was a hard-working woman as she worked for many years at Texas Boot Manufacturing in Waynesboro, TN. Being spiritually minded, when she was able, she attended the Green River Tabernacle Church in Waynesboro, TN, although poor health often prevented her from attending, but her heart was always focused on her God. In her leisure time she would often go fishing with family and friends, but she held no other moment closer to her heart than the time she spent with her children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren. Mrs. Mary Jane Eddington Moore passed from this life on October 27, 2025, in Florence, Alabama at the North Alabama Medical Center making her stay on this earth some 78 years 2 month and 278 days.
