Rocky Point woman celebrates her 100th birthday

ROCKY POINT, NC (WWAY) — Today, One Pender County woman celebrated a milestone, her 100^th birthday.

Last year WWAY covered Edith Gray-Moore’s socially-distanced drive-by parade for her 99^th birthday, but this year her family and friends were able to sit down and gather to celebrate her 100^th birthday in the same location. Her daughter Edith Shannon, says she was glad she to hold an in-person birthday celebration to celebrate her mother’s milestone.

“She has looked forward to this, and talked about this 100^th birthday for years and years, and years, and I think she’s very excited to be here,” said Edith Shannon.

Gray-Moore’s daughter also shared that her mother is currently the eldest living member at Riley Creek Baptist Church, where her birthday celebration was held.
