Cynthia Virginia Moore

Cynthia Cuthbertson Moore dedicated more than 40 years of her life to nursing. She served 19 years at Lakin State Hospital in Lakin, WV, followed by 9 years at Broughton State Hospital in Morganton, NC. After returning home to Pageton, WV, she continued her calling at Welch Emergency Hospital for an additional 4 years. Even into retirement, her compassion never slowed, she spent another 10 years as a private caregiver to Mr. and Mrs. Lacy of Roderfield, WV. Cynthia was a true people-person who never met a stranger. In her younger years, she was an accomplished softball player, earning State MVP honors in West Virginia for several consecutive years. She was also an exceptional bowler often averaging near-perfect 300-point games. She spent many years campaigning alongside her lifelong best friend, Delphine Starling, in support of Former Governor Jay Rockefeller during his elections. Cynthia loved being on the move—whether driving to church to praise the Lord or going shopping with her sisters from Mt. Calvary Baptist Church. She cherished her family deeply, especially her nieces and nephews, and loved visiting her sister Katherine in Cleveland (“Okay, Alright, Sister!”). Cynthia was dearly loved by her community, friends, and all who had the blessing of knowing her. Her love for her family was immense—beyond what words could ever truly capture. Cynthia was preceded in death by her parents, Mose Cuthbertson and Joella Hardy Cuthbertson; two daughters, Laura Jean and Lilly Joe Pearson; four brothers, Charles Sr., Mose Jr., Doug Sr., and William Cuthbertson; three sisters, Flora Broadus, Naomi Scriven, and Ophelia Shufford; one grandson, Tyler D. Pearson; and a special niece and nephew, Stanley Cuthbertson and Ayana Patton. She is survived by her three children: Debra Campbell, Clarance B. Pearson Jr., and Flora L. Pearson; one brother, Leon Cuthbertson; and three sisters, Katherine Dabney, Beverly Ann Owensby, and Barbara Ann Patton. Cynthia is also survived by 30 nieces and nephews, 11 grandchildren, 20 great-grandchildren, and her 6 great-great-grandchildren. Special thanks are extended to her caregivers, Shawntonia Hightower of Jenkin Jones, WV, and Syviona Cofield of Arlington, TX, along with other relatives and friends who supported her with love and care. A funeral service will be held on Friday, December 12, 2025 at 11:00 a.m. from the Mercer Funeral Home Chapel. The family will receive friends from 10:00 a.m. until the service hour.
