Dorothy Pauline (Moats) Moyers, 80, wife of Robert “R.C.” Moyers of Old
Greenville Road, Staunton, passed away on Saturday, January 7, 2023 at
King’s Daughters Community Health and Rehabilitation Center in
Staunton.
She was blessed with a loving and dedicated family.
A daughter of James Floyd and Mabel Varner (Ralston) Moats, she was
born on September 7, 1942 in Highland County, Virginia.
At six years old, the dreaded disease of polio struck her family. As
horrible as the disease was, her fight would define a truly remarkable life;
a life of inspiration and dedication to God, family, and friends.
On March 2, 1963, after being high school sweethearts, she married
Robert Colin Moyers.
Mrs. Moyers lived most of her in Augusta County and retired from the
Woodrow Wilson Rehabilitation
Center’s business office in 1989 due to the many problems associated
with post-polio syndrome. She attended Verona United Methodist Church,
where she assisted with the newsletter. She enjoyed socializing with
friends and family. Family was her life.
In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by sister, Beulah
Simmons, Daisy Hoover, Bonnie Nuckoles, and Mary Booth; brothers,
Allen, Dennis, and Charles Ralston, and Roger Moats.
In addition to her husband, she is survived by a son, Jeff Moyers and his
wife, Debbie of Greenville and a grandson, Travis Cody Moyers and his
wife, Kim of Greenville; sisters, Wilma Harlow of Staunton and Corieta
Smith of Verona; and sister-in-law, Sara Moats.
A graveside service will be held at 11:00 a.m. on Thursday, January 12,
2023 at Augusta Memorial Park in Waynesboro with Pastor Shawna Hiner
officiating.
Memorial contributions may be made, in Dorothy’s memory, to the charity
of one’s choice.

in charge of her arrangements.
