Resident of the Month
James Moore
Born in Castlewood, Virginia in 1935, James Clarence Moore is the oldest of six children. At 18, he moved to Detroit, Michigan, where he began working for General Motors. His dedication and leadership led him to become a supervisor at the Parts Division Plant in Swartz Creek, Michigan, where he worked faithfully for 37 years.
After retiring, James returned to his hometown—keeping a promise he made to his mother to come back home once his working days were done. While living in Michigan, he met the love of his life, Betty. Together, they raised two children, Jim and Shirley. Sadly, Betty passed away in 1990 in her early fifties, and James never remarried.
Today, James proudly celebrates a beautiful family that includes 10 grandchildren, 15 great-grandchildren, and two great-great-grandchildren. He turned 90 this past January, and his zest for life continues to shine.
Some of his favorite things include shrimp, pizza, and any good Southern home-cooked meal. He’s always had a soft spot for animals, loves tending to his flowers and tomato plants, and enjoys cheering on his favorite sport—baseball.
We are so grateful to have James as part of The Goldton at Spring Hill family—his warmth, stories, and smile brighten our community every day.
