Eudora Estel Propes Moore

Eudora Estel Propes Moore, 90, loving wife of Clifton Moore, passed away on Tuesday, January 7, 2025, at her home.

Born on August 3rd, 1934, in Greenville, South Carolina, she was the eldest daughter of the late Duree Angus and Lillie Mae Childers Propes. Eudy, as she was affectionately known to family and close friends, led a life filled with love, service, and deep faith. Eudora dedicated many years of her life as a nurse, firstly as a Graduate Nurse of the Greenville General Hospital System. She then went on to work in the mother-baby unit at Greenville Memorial Hospital. Her nurturing spirit and gentle hands provided comfort to countless families as they welcomed new lives into the world. Those who worked alongside her often admired her unwavering commitment to her patients and the grace she exuded each day. Known for her soft-spoken demeanor and her profound strength of faith, she was a Godly Christian woman whose compassion extended far beyond her professional life. Family members and friends often turned to her for wisdom and support, drawn in by her warm presence and nurturing heart. She had an innate ability to make everyone feel special, whether it was through a listening ear or kind words. Her family was her greatest treasure. Eudora’s grandchildren and great-grandchildren lovingly referred to her as “Maw Maw”, as many others also called her. It was a name that encapsulated the warmth and love she poured into her family and for all those that loved and cared for her at home. She devoted herself to caring for not just her own children but also helped raise many of her siblings in their family home all while growing up in a large southern family as the oldest of 13, imparting her nurturing spirit and love across generations. Eudora had a joyful heart that loved exploring the world around her. She found delight in the small things, from uncovering hidden gems in thrift stores to the thrill of traveling, particularly cruising to beautiful destinations. Fishing brought her simple joy, instilled by her father and brothers, where she would often find peace in the water's embrace, surrounded by nature. Eudora Estel Propes Moore leaves behind a legacy of love and strength that will resonate within the hearts of all who knew her. Her faith, warmth, and devotion to her family will forever be remembered. Though she may have departed from this earthly realm, her spirit will continue to guide and inspire those she loved, instilling a sense of peace and compassion that will endure through the generations.
