Mrs. Norma Katherine DeFreese Moore, 89, of Warrenton died Sunday, Oct. 7 at her residence. Memorial services were conducted Thursday, Oct. 11 at 11 a.m. at Emmanuel Episcopal Church in Warrenton with the Rev. Mary Somerville officiating.
Born Friday, March 2, 1923, was the ninth of 11 children in the family of Harry and Mary Adelia DeFreese in Hillburn, N.Y. She enjoyed her rural neighborhood of family, friends, church and school until 1943, when she enlisted into the U.S. Army. On Easter Sunday 1944, PFC DeFreese met Staff Sgt. Willard Moore. Six weeks later, she married him, and they both shipped off to Europe. After the war, Norma and Bill returned to Hillburn to begin their family with Nancy, Daria, Willard, Jr. and Christopher. Bill and Kay were married 55 years, until his passing in 2000.
A homemaker all of her life, Norma's many talents included cooking, crocheting, quilt-making, and creating Native American God's Eyes. She was a teacher and active member of the three major churches in her life, Brook Presbyterian Chapel in Hillburn (1923-1960), New Prospect Reformed Church in Pine Bush, N.Y. (1960-1979) and Emmanuel Church in Warrenton.
Norma daily enjoyed conversation, reading, television and an afternoon hour of listening to classical music. She was blessed with good health through the final days of her life.
The last of her 11 siblings, she is survived by her daughters, Nancy Lipscomb, (James) and Daria Holcomb; sons, Willard Moore, Jr., (Rhonda Pfeiffer) and Christopher Moore (Kim Yancey Moore); six grandchildren, four great-grandchildren, and a host of nieces, nephews, cousins and friends.
