Artist. Also known as Eliza Lambert Lloyd. She was the only daughter of Stacy Barcroft Lloyd Jr. and his first wife, the former Rachel "Bunny" Lambert (later Mellon); a stepdaughter of American banker and art collector Paul Mellon; and a great-granddaughter of Jordan Wheat Lambert, co-inventor of Listerine mouthwash. She married Henry "Derry" Dermot Posenby, Viscount Moore (later the 12th Earl of Drogheda), on 15 May 1968 in Upperville, VA. Caroline Kennedy was a flower girl at the couple's wedding, and John F. Kennedy, Jr. was a page. The couple divorced in 1972. Viscount and Viscountess Moore had no children, and she did not remarry.

In May 2000, Eliza was hit by a truck while crossing a Manhattan street and suffered a severe brain injury. As a result, she became quadriplegic and unable to speak. She spent the remaining eight years of her life under round-the-clock care at Oak Spring Farms, her mother's home in Upperville, Virginia.

Prior to her passing, Eliza had begun a project to put high-quality art into hospitals along with her good friend Diane Brown, who founded RxArt in 2001. The Eliza Moore Fund was established in 2000 to connect contemporary artists and pediatric hospitals throughout the country.
