Answer 2

If you do not plan to be active in the group after "retiring", you should make someone else an Owner instead of moderator.

Then make yourself a member.  You can then leave the group or remain as a member. Use the links that crazy_mom gave in her answer for how to do this

An owner is afforded more privileges than a moderator. The person taking over the group would really need those extra privileges.  That's why you should make him/her an owner.

(There can be more than one owner in a group.)
