Ida Ruth ``Miss Ruth'' Moore of the 900 block of Tennyson St., died Saturday, May 6, 1995, in Sentara Leigh Hospital.
Mrs. Moore, a native of Hyde County, N.C., was the daughter of George Howard and Gertrude B. Howard Elliot. She was a member of New Galilee Baptist Church. She was the retired co-owner of New Carolina Restaurant, formerly on Church Street in Norfolk. From 1944 until 1985, Mrs. Moore and her husband operated one of the finest restaurants in Norfolk.

Survivors include her husband, Quincy Moore Jr. of the home; a daughter, Ruth A. Jackson of Chesapeake; a sister, Beadie H. Hunter of Chesapeake; 10 grandchildren and 20 great-grandchildren.
