A Kentuckian who served as the COVID-19 pandemic’s sign language interpreter for the state has passed away. During the COVID-19 pandemic, Virginia Moore took on the role of Gov. Andy Beshear’s right-hand lady, using her signing abilities to convey his message to over 700,000 deaf and hard-of-hearing residents of the commonwealth during daily briefings.
Moore passed away on Saturday; Beshear tweeted on Sunday afternoon. Moore, according to him, taught Kentuckians the value of leadership with inclusiveness and compassion.

Virginia “was a rock of stability and grace during the pandemic,” Beshear remarked. “She supported us collectively during our most trying times.”
In October 2020, Moore received a uterine cancer diagnosis. She was the executive director of the Commission for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing and a native of Louisville.
