Alyce Moore

Alyce Moore, age 89, passed away peacefully on March 2, 2025, surrounded by her loving family. Alyce was born on December 15, 1935, in Lancaster, South Carolina. She was preceded in death by her beloved husband of 63 years, Tunney Moore; her parents, Charles and Myrtle Sims Stykes; and siblings, Margie Helton, Jane Smith, Mary Charles Carson, Bill Stykes, Doris Ball, John Stykes, Keith Stykes, Edwin Stykes, and Joyce Stykes. She was a devoted wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, and great-great-grandmother. She is survived by her children, Mitzi (Gary) Satterfield, Sheri (Brad) Johnson, and Shannon (Kelley) Moore. She also leaves behind her grandchildren, Andy (Jessica) Reed, Laura (William) Bosworth, Matthew (Brittany) Munsey, Rachel (Matthew) Jackson, Seth (Ashley) Moore, and Averley Kat Moore; her great-grandchildren, Kaylee (Johnny) Reed, Manny Reed, Maggie Bosworth, William Bosworth, Liliana Munsey, James Munsey, London Munsey, Artie Jackson, and Jace Moore; and her special great-great-granddaughter, Evie AnnaLee May. She is also survived by a special brother-in-law, Wayne Smith, as well as many nieces, nephews, in-laws, and friends who loved her dearly. Alyce was known for her sweet, kind, and thoughtful spirit. She was a gifted cook who spent years blessing others with homemade sourdough bread, crockpot candy, and fudge, always taking time to care for families in need during times of loss or illness. She worked for many years as a teacher’s aide at Newport Grammar School in the kindergarten and first-grade classrooms, forming meaningful relationships with the children she cared for so deeply. She was guaranteed to be smiling every time you saw her. A faithful member of Bridgeport Free Will Baptist Church, Alyce loved the Lord and never missed a church service. In her final days, she was at complete peace, ready to go home to the Lord. She prayed for Him to call her home but also trusted in His perfect timing, knowing He still had a purpose for her. She is celebrating with Him now and reuniting with the many loved ones who have gone on before her. The family will receive friends on Thursday, March 6, from 11 AM to 1 PM at Manes Funeral Home in Newport, TN, with the funeral service to follow at 1 PM, with Pastor Tim Carson and Pastor Dennis Caldwell officiating. Burial will take place at Union Cemetery in Newport. Her beloved grandsons and grandsons-in-law will serve as pallbearers.
