Stephanie Klotz Moore passed away peacefully on Friday, November 6, 2020 at her home in McComb, Miss. Born on August 3, 1935 in McComb, Miss. to Alvin Leach and Dorothy Lacy Klotz, Stephanie was delivered at the McComb Infirmary by her grandfather, Dr. Solomon Paul Klotz.

After graduating McComb High School in 1953, she went on to attend the University of Mississippi in Oxford, Miss., where she studied journalism and was a member of Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority. It was while at the University of Mississippi, Stephanie met her husband, Richard Cone "Dick" Moore, Sr. They were married in McComb on May 28, 1957 and were then off to see the world as "Dick" served in the U.S. Navy — serving here in the United States, as well as abroad in the Philippines and Spain. In the summer of 1985, the Moore family returned to Stephanie's hometown of McComb where they ran McComb Electric Supply Company, founded by her father in 1948.

Stephanie treasured her family, her church and her community. She cherished her relationships with her church family and her Bible study group. She was an active member of the Flower Lovers Club, served on the Executive Board of the Pike County Arts Council and on the Southwest Regional Medical Center Foundation, and was an avid supporter of the arts. No matter where she went in the world, Stephanie was able to make a friend, bring a smile to a face and exemplify the very best of southern hospitality.

Stephanie was preceded in death by her beloved parents and loving husband of 51 years. She is survived by her two children, Richard Cone Moore, Jr. (Dolly) of McComb and Dorothy Elizabeth "Betsy" Nelson (Paul) of Oxford, Miss., her four grandchildren, Kristen and Dan Moore and Lacy and Matthew Nelson, as well as by countless cherished family members and friends across the country.

Pallbearers will be her two grandsons, Dan Moore and Matthew Nelson, Larry Dorr, Harry Young, Richard Williams and Chris Charles.
