Sandra K. Moore, enjoyed serving others

Sandra K. “Sandy”(Montgomery) Moore, 78, of Georgetown, passed away peacefully Sunday, Dec. 3, 2023, at her son’s home in Milton, surrounded by her family.

Sandy was born in Wilmington, daughter of the late Harry and Thelma Ruth (Eddins) Montgomery. She resided most of her life in the New Castle area until relocating with her family to Sussex County in 1981.  

Sandy lived a quiet, simple life and enjoyed serving others. She worked as a bartender for many years, most recently with the Elks Lodge in Lewes, and was a cafeteria worker at Rehoboth Elementary School for 10 years, from where she retired.

In addition to her parents, Sandy is preceded in death by her husband, Jerry Moore; and two brothers, Harry Montgomery and Bo Montgomery.

She is survived by three sons, Richard B. Carey and wife Terri, David Connell and James Connell; six grandchildren, Richard Carey, Hunter Carey, Austin Carey, Jessie Dobies, Casey Connell and Amber Connell; two great-grandsons, Levi and Mason; a sister, Lois Weir and husband Ronald; a sister-in-law, Peggy Montgomery (wife of Bo); as well as numerous nieces, nephews and extended family.
