Edith Blanche Carrington Moore

<p><span style="letter-spacing: 0.2px; font-size: 1.1em;">It is with great sadness that we announce the recent passing of Edith Blanche&nbsp;</span></p> <p>Carrington Moore. Blanche, who was born in St Anne, Jamaica in 1917 passed</p> <p>peacefully on June 6th at the age of 103.</p> <p>Blanche was married to her beloved husband, Paul Carrington for 54 years.</p> <p>Together they raised three children, a daughter, Angelita, and twin boys David&nbsp;</p> <p>and Paul. They spent most of their years in Jamaica, but due to the political unrest</p> <p>in the late 70s, with three teenagers, they migrated to the US and settled in&nbsp;</p> <p>Orlando, Florida. Over the ensuing years, they served faithfully in their church&nbsp;</p> <p>and community and were a blessing to all who crossed their path. Sadly, at the&nbsp;<span style="letter-spacing: 0.2px; font-size: 1.1em;">age of 73, after a battle with cancer, the Lord took Paul home.</span></p> <p>Blanche continued to be a spiritual inspiration to many and at the age of 83 she&nbsp;<span style="letter-spacing: 0.2px; font-size: 1.1em;">met Mickey Moore and a sweet friendship ensued. He was a kind and gentle man&nbsp;</span><span style="letter-spacing: 0.2px; font-size: 1.1em;">and they were soon married and together carved out a simple yet meaningful life.&nbsp;</span></p> <p>They had 7 years together until Mickey went to be with Jesus in 2007.</p> <p>During her lifetime Blanche played many roles, first as wife, then, mother, aunt,&nbsp;<span style="letter-spacing: 0.2px; font-size: 1.1em;">grandmother, great grandmother and a trusted friend and prayer partner to&nbsp;</span><span style="letter-spacing: 0.2px; font-size: 1.1em;">many. Her light shone brightly in all of her roles, yet most notably, Blanche loved&nbsp;</span><span style="letter-spacing: 0.2px; font-size: 1.1em;">Jesus, plain and simple and her life exuded His love. She lived out her faith and&nbsp;</span><span style="letter-spacing: 0.2px; font-size: 1.1em;">made sure that everyone who crossed her path knew about her Savior.&nbsp;</span></p> <p>Blanche is survived by her two sons, David and Paul Carrington, sisters Enna Sinclair&nbsp;<span style="letter-spacing: 0.2px; font-size: 1.1em;">and Valda Rose, grandchildren Brittany Williams and Zachary and Luke Harris, as&nbsp;</span><span style="letter-spacing: 0.2px; font-size: 1.1em;">well as great grandchildren, nieces, nephews and great friends. She was dearly&nbsp;</span><span style="letter-spacing: 0.2px; font-size: 1.1em;">loved by all and will be greatly missed.&nbsp;</span></p> <p>Memorial Services will be held at The Crossings Church, 13105 W Colonial Dr in&nbsp;<span style="letter-spacing: 0.2px; font-size: 1.1em;">Winter Garden, Florida on Saturday, July 11th at 10:30am.&nbsp;</span></p> <p>Interment to follow at Highland Memory Gardens in Apopka, Florida.</p>
