Charlotte Lee Moore, former resident of Bayboro, NC, departed this life 
peacefully with her loved ones at her side on Tuesday, June 28, 2005, at 
Doctors Community Hospital in Lanham, MD.  
She was preceded in death by her parents, Lovie and John Lee, her husband, 
Lenwood R. Moore, and her son, Lenwood J. Moore.  
Charlotte enjoyed a wonderful 40-year career as an educator in North 
Carolina (Pamlico County) public school systems. She was recognized as 
being one of the first African-American teachers who taught during the 
initial desegregation of the Pamlico County School system.  
Until recently, she had been an active member of the North Carolina 
Association of Educators/NCAE (NC Retired School Personnel/NCRSP) 
organization. She retired in 1976, but never stopped teaching or caring 
for others.  
She was a faithful member of Mt. Sinai Missionary Baptist Church in 
Stonewall, NC where she was a Mother of the church and involved in many 
church activities and clubs. In 1999, when her health began to fail, she 
relocated to Bowie, MD to live with and be cared for by her daughter and 
grandchildren. She will truly be missed.  
She is survived by her loving family: daughter and son-in-law, Joyce 
Patricia and Larry McCormick of Bowie, MD; grandchildren, Charlotte Denise 
Moore of Bowie, MD, Charles Ronald Trotman Jr. of Bowie, MD and Lenwood J. 
Moore, Jr. of New Bern, N.C.; great-granddaughter, Jazmine Trotman of 
Bowie, MD; beloved nephews and niece that she regarded as her own children,
Robert Long of Piscataway, NJ, Emma Smith of Brooklyn, NY, and the Rev. 
Lenwood Long of Wake Forest, NC; and a multitude of other relatives and 
friends.  
The viewing and funeral services took place on Tuesday, July 5, 2005 at 
New Southern Rock Baptist Church, 750 Buchanan St., NW, Washington, DC. 
The Rev. Dr. Rudolph White was the officiating pastor. Interment and 
burial followed at Mt. Olive Cemetery in Washington, DC.  
Funeral services and arrangements were entrusted to the J.B. Jenkins 
Funeral Home, Landover, MD.
