Burea Moffett Cayce was born on April 18, 1929 in Phenix City, AL . She was the eldest of five children born to the union of Bryant Jordan and Maggie (Lynn) Jordan. During her childhood years, she attended Mt. Zion CME Church where she worshipped with her family.

She often expressed her gratitude to her parents for bringing her up in an especially close knit and loving family. Her parents and grandparents taught them by example, the paramount importance of consuming only FRESH vegetables, fruits, and natural foods. Her siblings were taught loyalty to family.

Burea, a classic beauty, was gracious and graceful, considerate of others, and was regarded as an honor and model student throughout her school years. She was modest despite being accustomed to special recognition. Burea was voted May Day Queen in grade school and was an honor student at South Girard High School. She went to Edwards Business School and learned typing and shorthand. Her strong regard for education was reflected in her determination to ensure that her children receive quality education. She was an advocate of healthy eating and took good care of her mind and body throughout her life. She enjoyed family time and special visits with her grandkids. She married Chief Petty Officer Phillip Moffett and to that union, three children were born: Larry, Gregory, and Cynthia Denise.

As a naval officer, the family was allowed to travel and live in places that included: Florida, Maryland, Rhode Island, and Virginia. Upon his retirement, the family resettled in Phenix City, AL amidst the larger Moffett family where they lived until Phillip’s transition in 1974. Burea worked briefly outside the home as a school bus driver for the state of Georgia. She held several other jobs, but was primarily a devoted and loving wife, mother, and homemaker. Many years later, Burea married Senior Chief Petty Officer Lewis Cayce and they resided in Columbus,GA until his death in 2007 She was preceded in death by her parents, spouses, daughter: Cynthia Moffett Houston; brothers: O’Bryant Jordan and Alphonso Jordan; daughter- in-law: Judy Moffett; brother-in-law: Thomas Murphy; nephews: Gerald Clements and Audie Murphy; niece: Rita Jenovis Murphy.

Burea leaves to cherish her memory and celebrate her life: her children, Larry Moffett and Gregory Moffett (Sandra) both of Montgomery, AL; siblings, Ruth Jordan Murphy and Edward Jordan both of Columbus, GA; sisters-in law, Evelyn Lokey, Phenix City, AL: Carrie Paige, Chicago, IL, Lillian W. Jordan,Chicago, IL; brothers-in law, Arthur James Moffett, Phenix City, AL, Thomas Moffett, Columbus, GA; grandchildren, Gregory Lawayne Moffett, Kristin Calloway, and Sherry Moffett; a host of great-grandchildren, nieces, nephews, friends, and relatives, two of whom were especially devoted Freddie Mae Moffett (Deceased) and Joyce Gardner.

Miss you today.

FAMILY, Oh, what a lady! Mrs. Dell was labeled as our co-worker. Many of us considered her as our other Mama! We loved Mrs. Dell and Mrs. Freddie! (You cannot speak of one without sharing love for the other!) They both were so important to my growth as a woman and a kind human being! They always pointed me to God not themselves as they loved on me and others. They were always sharing life's stepping stones for a great life!
Family, we thank you all for allowing us to claim some of her time and a lot of her unconditional affection, wisdom, and just down home LOVE!
Blessings, prayers, and condolences to all of you. Many of you know God's word! He has noted that we'll see her again. Until then know grief and sorrow will reside but praise God for the VICTORY and HOPE we have in Christ Jesus!
My heart hurts and tears drop! Even though we lost contact, she never left my heart and many of her other co-workers and friends!
She'll rest well until that great getting up morn!🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
