Jeanelle Coulter Moore, 88, died Wednesday, Oct. 20, at Springmoor Retirement Center in Raleigh. Funeral services were held at 11 a.m. at Edenton Street United Methodist Church on Friday, Oct. 22. Burial was at Oakwood Cemetery. A former resident of Ridgeway Street in Sylva, she was born in Pikeville, Tenn. She earned her AB degree at Western Carolina University, and in 1933 married Daniel Killian Moore, later governor of North Carolina and associate justice of the N.C. Supreme Court. She created the Executive Mansion Fine Arts Committee to preserve and maintain the state Executive Mansion, a project which has continued from 1965 to the present. She left her mark on the "Gingerbread House" and turned it into the most beautiful mansion the state has ever seen. During Holy Week in 1966 she launched a project to raise money through the N.C. Federation of Women's Clubs to build the Chapel of the Nameless Woman on the grounds of Women's Prison in Raleigh. Prior to that time, no facilities existed for worship or teaching at the Women's Prison. She was associated with the N.C. School of the Arts since her husband was governor. She served on the Foundation board of directors as a member of the executive committee and as a member emeritus. In 1996, she received the School's Giannini Society Award, the school's highest honor. After leaving the Governor's Mansion, she continued her lifetime of public service as a trustee of the N.C. Museum of Art, the board of advisors of Meredith College and many other public service activities. In 1980, she and her husband were the joint recipients of the N.C. Award for Public Service, the highest award that can be conferred by the state of North Carolina. She became chairman of Keep North Carolina Beautiful and was responsible for the program for Highway Beautification, which seeds the highways of North Carolina with wildflowers. Surviving are one daughter, Edith Hamilton of Shelby; one son, Dan K. Moore Jr. of Lexington; three grandchildren; and eight great-grandchildren. Memorials may be made to the Jeanelle C.
