Amy Prince Moise

September 20, 2023

CHARLOTTE – Amy Prince Moïse passed away peacefully on Wednesday, September 20, 2023, at the age of 53 in Charlotte, NC, after an 11-month battle with brain cancer. Amy was a beloved wife, mother, daughter, sister, and friend who touched the lives of all who knew her.

She was born on May 21, 1970, in Alexandria, LA.  Following her graduation from Alexandria Senior High School in 1988, she enrolled at Converse College in Spartanburg, SC, where she pursued her studies in French and Business.  During her time at Converse, she lived with a family and studied abroad in Aix en Provence, France.  Following her graduation, she relocated to Charlotte, where fate introduced her to her beloved husband, Francis Davis Moise Jr. (Davis). Their love story blossomed rapidly, with the couple getting engaged in New Orleans, LA, just six months after they met.  They sealed their commitment in marriage in Alexandria, LA, six months later.  Amy and Davis embodied the age-old adage, "When you know, you know," a testament to their enduring and genuine love. 

Amy was an angel on Earth, radiating beauty, compassion, and an infectious sense of humor.  She dedicated her life to serving others, whether it was as the prayer leader at Waypoint Community Church, member of ‘Threads’ Bible Study (for 10 years), or as a devoted family member. She loved the Lord and was committed to studying His word and was a faithful and fervent prayer warrior.  She was artistic by way of food, cooking incredible meals for anyone and everyone. Amy's selflessness knew no bounds, always putting the needs of others before her own.

She was unwavering in her dedication to her children, a beacon of love and guidance in their lives.  Her face would light up with boundless joy whenever she spoke of Little Davis and Lauren, their happiness reflecting her own.  She was a remarkably involved mother, not only supporting her children's aspirations by attending sports games and parents’ weekends, but also fostering deep connections with their friends.  Beyond her role as a devoted mother, she extended her warmth to Big Davis’ friends and clients, creating a welcoming space where she entertained countless individuals with grace and charm.  Her legacy of love, family, and hospitality will forever endure in the hearts of those who were fortunate enough to know her.

Amy learned of her diagnosis in October of 2022 after experiencing a seizure while driving on I-85 in South Carolina. Miraculously in her unconsciousness, she was able to prevent harm to herself and others by finding the brake pedal. Amy used her second chance at life to glorify God, and Amy faced her diagnosis with remarkable strength and grace. Throughout her journey, she remained steadfast in her belief in God and her ultimate healing.

Amy's resilience had a profound impact on her family and friends, inspiring them in countless ways.  Her memory will forever live on in the hearts of all who were fortunate enough to know her.  Amy's legacy of love, faith, and resilience will continue to inspire and uplift others.

Amy is survived by her loving husband, Francis Davis, Jr.; her cherished children, Lauren Elizabeth and Francis Davis III; her devoted parents, Charles and Ruth Prince of Hernando, MS; her dear sisters, Charlotte Martin (Tommy) of Suwannee, GA, and Suzanne Cox (Clair) of Hernando, MS; her sister-in-law, Nina Pulliam (Jim); and her nieces and nephews.

A service to celebrate Amy's life will be held at 11:00 AM on Monday, September 25, 2023, at Myers Park Presbyterian Church, 2501 Oxford Place, Charlotte, NC.  The family will receive friends following the service in Oxford Hall.

In lieu of flowers, contributions may be made in Amy's memory to her church, Waypoint Community Church, 1515 Mockingbird Lane, Ste. 7119, Charlotte, NC 28209 or the Gray for Glioblastoma Society, 5325 Westbard Avenue, #905, Bethesda, MD 20816.  This is a charitable organization dedicated to supporting research and raising awareness for Glioblastoma.

Please join us in honoring Amy's remarkable life and paying tribute to her enduring spirit.

    Davis my wife and I are truly saddened by the passing of your wife. Wishing you and your family the strength you need to get through this

    We are so very sorry to hear this heartbreaking news. We never met Amy but to see the joy in Davis’s face when he spoke of Amy was undeniable what a exceptional lady she was. Sending our heartfelt prayers for this precious family.

    The resurrection of Christ is easier to believe in than the passing of Amy. I'm not a close friend or relative; we just attended the same church yet I'm filled with unbelief. God and his ways become more mysterious today. Enoch walked with God, and then he was no more, because God had taken him away. As such, I can only compare her passing to the life of Enoch. Sometimes, human existence on Earth feels like the lowest form of life. The second verse of Genesis speaks to a darkness over the Earth and that always intrigued me and reinforced this idea of base existence here. Perhaps we are here to be perfected in love in spite of the darkness. Amy's passing informs my conspiracy. She overcame this world's darkness and was a light for even those eternal beings in heaven. She has graduated from Earth with honors. Moses asked God to teach him His ways; we should learn Amy's ways.

    Words cannot express our heartfelt condolences for the Moise Family. Davis is a good man, husband, and father; by his own admission Amy was his better half, and with her support he has been watching out for the well-being of his family and mine for decades. Although we live on opposite ends of the country, we've watched the Moise family grow as ours grew at the same time. We are so very sorry for Amy's loss, and our thoughts and prayers are with the family at this time (and always).
