Mrs. Artie Pinnix Totten Garland Moore was born on June 10, 1934 in Caswell County, North Carolina as the tenth child born to the late Eugene and Annie Mae Thomas Pinnix.  On July 12, 2020, Mrs. Moore transitioned from her home in Charlotte, North Carolina to be with her majestic Father in Heaven.

After attending the public schools of Caswell County and graduating from the Caswell County Training School, Mrs. Moore married and began a family. Subsequently, she moved to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania where she would spend over thirty years as an LPN with the elite Bayada Nurses.  During her tenure, she enjoyed providing life-saving and life changing care to all of her clients.

Artie was affectionately known as "Sunshine" to all who knew her best, not just because of her curly locks, but because of the joy and rays of happiness she brought to everyone she met.  Upon moving to Charlotte, NC, she received much joy in fellowshipping with the Oak Grove Baptist Church of Harrisburg, NC.  Her church family served as an anchor and blessing to her and her family.

Mrs. Moore was an avid gardener and delighted in planting her vegetables and flowers.  She took even more delight in sharing them with friends and neighbors, whether it be through gifts of plants or cooking harvested vegetable crops.

Additionally, Mrs. Moore was known for her quit wit, sassy demeanor, and as a fashionista.   She remained forever young and relished in enjoying every minute of life for herself and everyone she loved.  A life well-lived, she was truly an erudite woman who will be missed.

In addition to her parents, preceding her in death include:  daughter, Rosaleta Lea;  grandson, Kenneth Lea;  and siblings, Vertie Brown, Vergie Pinnix, Minnie Blackwell, Eunice Blackwell, Ebrahim Khateeb, Eugene Washington Pinnix, Jr., Carl Pinnix, James Pinnix, Shareef Khateeb, and Leon Pinnix.

Those left to cherish precious memories are:  daughters, Phyllis Jacqueline Cannon (Larry), of Fayetteville, NC, and Judy Garland, of the home, and son, Conrad Garland, of Philadelphia, PA; son/grandson, Jamar Garland (Syedah,) of Los Angeles, CA;  brothers, Thurman Pinnix, Sr., Lynwood Pinnix (Lottie), and Vernon Pinnix (Berna), all of Reidsville, NC and  Hashim Pinnix (Edith), of Gibsonville, NC; grandchildren, Ebony Matkins, Athena Wilson (Jason), Kevin Cannon (Bridgette), Clinton Cannon (Tikara), Leslie Garland, and Sharron Garland; thirteen great-grandchildren; and a plethora of other relatives and dear friends.
