Obituary


John Moscoe Anderson, born January 17, 1939, peacefully completed his earthly journey on June 22, 2026, at the age of 87. A native of Glen Allen (Short Pump), he was the youngest child of Clarence Estes Anderson and Ena Taylor Anderson, and the beloved brother of E. Priscilla, Leatrice, C. Melvin, and Oscar (Willie Boy), who all predeceased him. On November 27, 1965, John married Bernice Moore, the love of his life. Together, they shared 60 years of devotion, partnership, and strength.

John was a dedicated truck driver on local and long-distance routes for companies including Sears, Roebuck and Company, Mason-Dixon, Safeway, and Yellow. He retired in 1997 after 30 years of service. He was a longtime member of the Teamsters Local 592 and respected as a union shop steward. John was a member of Commonwealth Masonic Lodge No. 81 for over 50 years, during which time he served as Worshipful Master and left a legacy of leadership, integrity, and brotherhood.

His memory will be cherished by his devoted wife, Bernice; sisters-in-law, Mildred Perkins, Thelma Beverly (Carroll), and Jacqueline Morris; brother-in-law, Harold Moore (Shirley); nephew, Carl Anderson (Ruby); nieces, E. Lurine Snead, Ruthie Davis, Aretha (Cookie) Armwood, Denise Jones, and Saundra Davis; extended Moore family; cousins; friends, including Robert (Bob) White and Gloria Parker; his church family; and neighbors. His life reflected quiet service, steady faith, and unwavering love, a legacy that will continue through all he touched.
