Russell Conwell Moore's Obituary
Russell C. Moore passed away on Tuesday, June 15, 2021, in McArthur, OH, at the age of 94. He was born on April 7, 1927, to the late Charles A. Moore and Julia F. Moore (née Blumrick), in Philadelphia, PA. He was a long-time resident of Greenwood, Delaware, where he chose to raise his family.
As an outworking of his Christian beliefs, Russell labored for about five years with the Ava tribespeople of Paraguay, S.A. He later ministered to Delaware's migrant worker and prison populations, all while sustaining his family as a trustworthy and hard-working mechanic and machinist.

(Gloria) Moore, of Oro Valley, AZ; and David J. (Melanie) Moore, of McArthur, OH. Also surviving him are his 21 grandchildren, 39 great-grandchildren, 3 great-great-grandchildren, and his large extended family (as includes, among others, his many beloved nieces & nephews).
Beside his parents, Russell was preceded in death by: his first wife, Mabel C. Moore (née Pratt), to whom he was married for 57 years; his brothers George H. and Theodore P. Moore; and his sister, F. Marie Talley (née Moore).
