Mary Moore Gregory

Houston- Mary Elizabeth Foxworth Moore Gregory, 86, passed away on November 13, 2021, at Floy Dyer Manor in Houston, Mississippi. Mrs. Gregory was born on July 24, 1935, in Richton, Mississippi to Rev. R. D. Foxworth and Flora Hardy Foxworth. She was the previous owner/ co-owner of Moore's Restaurant in Houston, and a member of Houston Church of God.

Mary was raised in the church and often sang and played the mandolin. She was a faithful servant of God, and her life exemplified the "Golden Rule".

Mary was kindhearted, creative, and artistic. She was well known as an excellent cook and enjoyed cooking for family holidays. She had the gift of a "green thumb" and especially loved growing vegetables, fruits, and roses. Her flowers attracted a wide variety of birds year around, and hummingbirds were her favorite. Hobbies included crocheting and painting, and she loved giving to others.
