Joan "Joni" Taylor Moore

Joan "Joni" Taylor Moore, of Pensacola, FL, formerly of Cornelia, GA, passed away on Saturday, December 27, 2025. Ms. Moore was born in Clarkesville, GA on June 20, 1946, to the late S.A. and Christine Taylor.

Joni never met a stranger and loved meeting new people. She found joy in the simple pleasures of life—working in her yard with her hands in the dirt and dancing whenever the music moved her.

She was preceded in death by her husband, Melvin Moore; son, Jeffery Michael Moore; and brother, Doyle Taylor.

Joan is survived by her beloved partner of 14 years, John McGill; sons and daughters-in-law Chris and Lisa Moore of Pensacola, FL, and Lynn and Adriann Moore of Atlanta, GA; stepson and daughter-in-law Ken and Nokie Moore of Cornelia, GA; sister and brother-in-law Charlotte and Michael Caron of Ben Wheeler, TX; sister-in-law Gayle Taylor of Demorest, GA; grandchildren Darrell Moore, Jessica Moore, Jennifer Lira, and Brelyn Moore; and two great-grandchildren.

A celebration of life will be held at a later date.

A Courtesy Announcement has been entrusted to the Whitfield Funeral Homes & Crematory, South Chapel at 1370 Industrial Boulevard, Baldwin, Georgia 30511. Telephone: 706-778-7123.
