Janet Moore-Sanders (Seymour)'s Obituary
Janet K. Moore-Sanders of Seymour, Missouri, departed this life Sunday, June 29, 2014, at Cox South Hospital in Springfield, Missouri, at the age of 60.
Born Janet Kay Street, she and her twin-brother Jimmy Ray were born February 26, 1954, in Pittsburg, California, to James and Bessie (Manar) Street. Janet lived in the Seymour area for over 45 years. She was joined in marriage to Darrell Gene Moore, Sr. on June 26, 1971, in Diggins, Missouri, and of this union three children were born.
Janet worked for Hutchens Industries in Seymour for over 10 years as a welder and was affectionately nicknamed as, “Dumplin”, by her co-workers. She was well known for her boisterous laughter and her loving, generous heart. Some of her favorite past times were playing Canasta with family, going to bingo with her sister, JoAnn, and watching Wheel of Fortune. Her greatest loves were her grandchildren and spending time with them. She especially loved being involved in their activities from watching them playing basketball, soccer, swim meets and being supportive in their school functions.
Preceding her in death was her husband, Darrell Gene Moore, Sr. in 1991; and her father, James D. Street in 2013.
