Martha Marie Moses' Obituary
Marti Moses died in Easton, Maryland on the 10th of August 2025 of complications of Covid. She was born on the 17th of April 1946 in Painesville, Ohio, the daughter of Ruth Jessup Robinson and Russell Daniel Robinson. Her father's work took the family to Chester, Pennsylvania and Wilmington, Delaware before finally settling in Carlisle, Massachusetts, where she graduated from Concord-Carlisle High School and then Gordon College with the Class of 1968. She had two daughters from her first marriage, Kirsten Luce, born in 1970, and Corinne Luce, born in 1973.
During her career she worked as a contractor for the US Navy in Washington, DC and Newport, Rhode Island, and as national systems administrator for the Commission on the Bicentennial of the Constitution of the United States. In 1989 she married Commander James C. Moses, a naval officer stationed in Washington, DC. Following her career in government, she and her husband retired to Tilghman Island, Maryland where they established a breeding program for Belgian Malinois dogs. An active member of the American Belgian Malinois Club, she served two terms on the Club Board, served on the Judges' Education Committee and on the committees of several regional and national specialty shows. Approved as an AKC Conformation Judge, in 2013 she was honored by being invited to judge the Club's National Specialty Show in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. She volunteered with the Tilghman Watermen's Museum, and was a proud member of the General Perry Benson Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution, the General Society of Mayflower Descendants, and the Talbot Kennel Club.
She was preceded in death by her daughters, and is survived by her husband, her sisters Mary Forgays of Cape Coral, Florida and Virgina Robinson of Chelmsford, Massachusetts, by her niece, Melinda Windsor of Saxapahaw, North Carolina, and a group of beloved cousins affectionately once known as "the dirty dozen."
Memorial contributions may be made to the Tilghman Watermen's Museum, P.O. Box 344, Tilghman, MD 21671.
