Clara was an extraordinary woman of God whose resounding faith and love for her family was unmatched.

For 98 years our world was blessed with the Christian life of Clara Boney Malpass Moore who passed away Thursday, September 10, 2026 at her home surrounded with love by her family.

She was born March 23, 1928 in Sampson County, the daughter of John Everette Boney and Eliza Horrell Boney. In addition to her parents Clara was predeceased by her first husband, Jeremiah B. Malpass who died at the age of 37 in the military and her second husband, Luther “Luke” R. Moore; and her twin brother, Clarence Boney.

Clara is survived by her devoted family, daughters, Kay Prescott and her husband, Tom, and Annette Applewhite and her husband, Terry; son, Alan Moore and his wife, Ann; grandchildren, Chris Prescott (Annie), Mark Prescott (Candy), and AJ Moore (Sierra); great grandchildren, Camyrn, Drake, and Aiden; nephews, James Boney and Jerry Boney (Sharon);

Clara was an extraordinary woman of God whose resounding faith and love for her family was unmatched. Two things that Clara loved most in this world was Jesus and her family. She always put others before herself, generously sharing all she had. Those that knew Clara will always remember her passion for caring for family and spending time with family. She had a special place in her heart for her grandkids and great grands. She was a true example of what it meant to be a Wife, Mother, Grandmother, Great Grandmother, Sister, Aunt, and Friend. Clara wanted everyone to be a believer and join her in her heavenly home. Her presence in our lives will be forever missed but we find solace in knowing she is at peace and rejoicing with her Almighty Father.
