Sister Flossie Mae Buckner Moore began her life journey on October 3, 1932. She was one of two siblings born to Randolph Buckner and the late Louise Capers Buckner.
She was educated in the public schools of Dorchester County, South Carolina. At an early age, Flossie joined Toby United Methodist Church, Islandton, South Carolina. Upon relocating to New York, she joined The Church of Our Lord under the leadership of Evangelist Hallie Mae Joshua and later became a member of Gospel Light C.O.L.J.C., both located in Brooklyn, New York. Sister Moore joined St. John Baptist Church upon her return to South Carolina. At St. John Baptist Church, she was a faithful member of the Women’s Ministry, The Missionary Society, the Kitchen Aide Committee, the Gospel and Senior Choir.
