Betty F. Moomau

Betty Ann Fultz Moomau, 85, widow of Franklin Delano Moomau, passed away after a brief illness on Friday, November 10, 2023, in Henrico Doctors' Hospital in Richmond.

She was born on November 5, 1938, in Swoope to the late Howard Newton Fultz, Sr. and Thelma Loretta Davis Fultz Helmick.

Betty was a dedicated member of Christ United Methodist Church and actively participated in her church community. Betty was particularly involved in helping with Thursday meals for the shut-ins, displaying her kindness and compassion towards others. She also continued her husband's "cross" ministry, spreading love and faith to those around her.

Growing up, Betty received her education from Wilson Memorial High School where she graduated with the Class of 1954. She maintained strong connections with her graduating class and regularly met with them over the years. Betty's dedication extended to the professional world as well. She retired as the president of P&M Office Specialty after having worked previously at Rockingham National Bank.

Beyond her professional accomplishments and community involvement, Betty had a variety of interests and hobbies that brought joy to her life. She loved playing bingo, finding excitement in every game she played. However, the true joys of Betty's life were undoubtedly her grandchildren and great-grandchildren who consistently brought smiles to her face.
