Kentucky Mourns Loss of Sign Language Interpreter Virginia Moore

Virginia Moore, a sign language interpreter and Executive Director of the Kentucky Commission on the Deaf and Hard of Hearing, has passed away. Moore had been a constant presence during the pandemic, interpreting for Gov. Andy Beshear's "Team Kentucky" briefings. She had been diagnosed with stage one uterine cancer in October 2020 but returned to her interpreting duties in November. Memorial services are pending, and donations can be made in her name to the Kentucky School for the Deaf Jacob’s Hall Museum or the Knowledge Center on Deafness.
