Margaret "Peggy" McClure Moore

Margaret “Peggy” McClure Moore passed away peacefully on Christmas morning in her home. She is survived by her loving husband Mark Moore, sons Matt (Beth) Rogers, Andy (Heather) Moore, and Christian Moore, and five grandchildren Lake Rogers, Lilly Rogers, Lawson Rogers, Maddie Kate Moore, and Anna Moore. She is also survived by her brothers Chuck (Carol) McClure, Joe (Gail) McClure and many nieces and nephews. Peggy was preceded in death by her parents Charles and Dorothy McClure and son Mark Eugene Moore, Jr (“Rusty”). Peggy grew up in Columbus, Georgia and later attended the University of Georgia studying Radio, TV, and Film. She would go on to a career working in the film industry as a production coordinator before later working in the family radio business. It was her work for WCHK that brought her to Canton where she met Mark when she needed to borrow a reel-to-reel tape recorder. This serendipitous meeting led to a wonderful marriage lasting 41 years. Together with Mark she raised their three boys and travelled the world fulfilling a lifelong dream of visiting the Galapagos Islands. Always a fighter, Peggy battled cancer for sixteen years with Mark by her side. Despite this setback, it never slowed her down and she continued to give of her time as a founding board member of the Cherokee County Educational Foundation, and serving on the boards of the Cherokee Arts Council, and the Reinhardt President’s Advisory council. She was a philanthropist and gave generously to causes related to children and families, driven largely by her time spent as a social worker. She and Mark were also active members for many years at Canton First Methodist Church and supporting members of Hope Fellowship in Costa Rica and Boat Church on Lake Rabun. Peggy believed in the importance of family and would regularly visit relatives and friends she considered family all over the country. She and Mark would always warn them that if they were invited to visit, they were going to show up! She will be missed dearly by all who loved her. In lieu of flowers please consider a donation to the Cherokee County Educational Foundation in her honor. The family will receive friends on Sunday, December 29th from 1pm - 2pm at Canton First Methodist Church. The service will follow the visitation at 2pm at the church with Rev. Sandra Henry officiating. Interment will be at Riverview Cemetery. The caring staff of Darby Funeral Home is honored to serve the Moore family.
