Sylvia Aileen White Moore, 90, of Vanceburg, passed away peacefully Wednesday, June 14, 2017, at her home after an extended illness with her family by her side.
Aileen was born in Rowan County August 22, 1926, to the late Ray Lee White and Ethel Hall White Ison.
She and her husband Clyde owned and operated Moore and White Lumber Company in Vanceburg for 36 years, starting the business in 1958. Aileen was a homemaker, and a loving mother and grandmother which was a huge part of her legacy. If her family wasn’t present in her home, she was present in theirs.

Preceding Aileen in death besides her parents were her husband, Clyde Moore; and her siblings, Eugene F. White, Harold White, Victor White, Ruth Smith, and Becky Carter.
