Betty Jane Moore

Betty Jane (Hayes) Moore, 96, of Fultonville, NY, passed away peacefully at her home on August 9, 2026 with her daughter by her side. She was born on February 13, 1930, the daughter of the late Clifford and Lena Hayes and Elsie Vrooman. Betty was a lifelong resident of Fultonville.

Betty married the love of her life, Kenneth Moore, on June 24, 1950. They shared 49 loving years together until his passing. Together, they worked at the Fonda Speedway, creating many cherished memories along the way.

Throughout her life, Betty worked as an Avon representative and a Stanley representative. She was especially proud of her 66 years with Avon, where she built lasting friendships with countless customers and friends. She also worked at the Premiere Glove Shop. Her greatest work, however, was raising her five lovely daughters.

Betty was a longtime member of the Fonda-Fultonville Methodist Church. She often peeked out her window on Montgomery Street, and until her last days enjoyed keeping up o the neighborhood news and never wanted to miss a bit of gossip.

Betty is survived by her five daughters: Joann Scanlon, Linda Cotter, Deborah (Paul) Sedal, Denise Moore, and Donna Bradley; her sisters, Yvetta (Gene) Tryon and Loretta DaBiere; and eight grandchildren, Shawn (Cory) Cotter, Justin (Laura) Cotter, Bradley (Lori) Scanlon, Ryan (Sam) Scanlon, Ashley (Josh) Gessinger, Kyle Bradley, Jamie (Jake) Ammann, and Amie (Adam) Clute.

She is also survived by her great-grandchildren: Brady, Colin, Trevor (Frankie), Dylan (Andra), Ryan Jr., Alyssa, Corey, Molly, Randy, Grayson, Maggie, Maverick, and Crew; one great-great-granddaughter, Ella; and several nieces and nephews.

In addition to her husband, Kenneth, Betty was predeceased by her sons-in-law Dennis Cotter and Mike Scanlon; sister-in-law, Margie (Jack) Schorer; and her brothers Seymour (Marj) Hayes, Butch Hayes, and Howard (Gerri) Hayes, and brother-in-law Richard DaBiere.
