From Randy Zimtbaum:
It is with much sadness that I must tell everyone that my sister, Mary Zimtbaum Moore, passed away early this morning around 4:15 AM due to complications with Cancer at the age of 71. Mary grew up in Lincolnton and developed a lot of friendships in her early years. People still ask me about her all the time. In the later stages of her life she developed Fibromyalgia along with Multiple Myeloma and it was just too much for her body to handle. She was living in an Assisted Living facility in Shepherdstown, WV and passed away peacefully into a much better place. She is now out of all pain and suffering.
