Bertha Jane Moore Gallop

  Bertha Jane Moore Gallop, 89, of Elizabeth City, NC, passed away Sunday, June 29, 2025, in Sentara Albemarle Medical Center, Elizabeth City.

   Ms. Gallop was born in Camden County on December 26, 1935, and was the daughter of the late John Raymond Moore and Hilda Harrison Moore Sawyer. In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by a daughter, Tammy Story, sons, Richard and Raymond Gallop and Larry Connie; sisters, Barbara Sawyer and Nell Chapman, a brother, Delbert Harrison, a great-grandson, and by a great-great-granddaughter.

    A homemaker, she was a member of Old Trap Methodist Church in the Old Trap community of Camden County. Among her many enjoyments in life included her love of fishing, quilting, and spending time with family, especially her children and grandchildren. She was known to be able to make a person smile, laugh, and cry, all in the same sentence.
