THE Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Free National Movement and the Progressive Liberal Party have led tributes to Sandra Moore, the wife of FNM founding father Maurice Moore who died yesterday.

Mr Moore is the Bahamas’ Ambassador designate to the Central American countries.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs described Mrs Moore as a “devoted, longstanding member of the Anglican Church of the Good Shephard in Grand Bahama, where she also served as Lay Reader.

“Amongst her numerous activities and social outreach in the Anglican community, Mrs Moore was a member and past President of the Anglican Church Women, one of the coordinators of the Joshua Generation group that focused on youth and a member of Good Shephard’s choir,” the ministry said. Mrs Moore worked for some 45 years with the General Brokers and Agents Insurance Agency, in Freeport Grand Bahama. All who were acquainted with Mrs Moore knew her to be a lovely and kind soul with a passion for God. She touched positively the lives of all who met her. She will be sorely missed.”

The FNM called Mrs Moore an “inspiration and example to us all.”

“No matter the situation she held a positive approach and maintained her support for her husband, family, party and country. A woman who publicly and privately displayed Christian values and witness,” the party said in a statement.

PLP chairman Fred Mitchell said Mrs Moore was an outstanding professional in Grand Bahama for decades.

“She was a committed family woman and without hesitation she took on the role as wife of a political and diplomat and her love for country and people proved a perfect fit,” he said. “I spoke to Mr Moore today and conveyed our condolences and fond personal memories of his dear wife.”
