November 5, 1960 - November 23, 2023

Allison Bare Moise, 63, of Franklin, Tennessee, passed away on November 23, 2023 from early onset Alzheimer’s. She was born on November 5, 1960 in Knoxville, Tennessee, daughter of Billy Joe and Dareleen Bare. Allison grew up in North Wilkesboro, NC where she was a graduate of Wilkes Central High School and attended Wake Forest University where she received a Bachelor of Arts in 1983.

She moved to Charlotte, North Carolina where she worked for the Mecklenburg School System as a math teacher and assistant principal. During her tenure as an educator, she earned a Masters in Education from the University of North Carolina at Charlotte. With a move to Tennessee in 1996, Allison retired from teaching to focus on raising her two daughters and performing charitable work through her church.

Allison loved teaching and serving others, both as a public school teacher, and as a volunteer with the Liberty Elementary School Partnership, Vacation Bible School, the Girl Scouts, and Meals on Wheels. She also loved sports, pulling for the Demon Deacons and the North Carolina Tar Heels and enjoyed playing tennis with her Franklin friends.  Allison maintained a close connection to her 2B group of college friends from Wake Forest who lived in the same dorm while in school. She enjoyed staying in contact with them over the last 40 years through a quarterly newsletter and annual reunions.

Allison is preceded in death by her parents, Billy Joe and Dareleen Bare.  She is survived by her husband of 37 years, Robert Christian Moise, and two daughters, Katherine Moise Simmons (Jesse) of Atlanta, GA and Anna Christian Moise of Nashville, TN and a granddaughter, Clara Jane Simmons. She is also survived by her brother Stephen Mark Bare (Sally) of Mt Pleasant, SC, her aunt and uncle Carolyn and Richard “Moe” Owens of West Jefferson, NC, her Aunt Sandra Bowers of Mouth of Wilson, VA, and numerous cousins, nieces, and nephews.
