Carolyn Kay (Matthews) Moser

Car­olyn Kay (Matthews) Moser was born March 26, 1938, in Delaware. On Fri­day (June 22, 2012) she went to her eter­nal home in Heaven.

She was first mar­ried to Robert E. Smith of Waldo and they had two daugh­ters together, Karen Ann and Robyn Lynne. In 1998 she mar­ried George E. Moser of Prospect. Car­olyn was a home­maker for many years and also worked at J.C. Pen­ney. In 1972, she began a 21-year career with Gen­eral Tele­phone Com­pany of Ohio. She retired in 1993 to help care for her two grand­daugh­ters, Brit­tini and Erinn Lit­tell. In the 1980s, Car­olyn turned her life over to Christ. From that point until the end of her life on Earth, she lived a Christ-centered life. She was active in her church, Saint Paul’s Evan­gel­i­cal Lutheran Church of Waldo. She was a Sun­day school teacher for many years, held offices on the Church Coun­cil and took to the pul­pit to deliver the Sun­day ser­mon. She was a mem­ber and past pres­i­dent of the Prospect Senior Cen­ter and the Waldo Mother’s Club. If some­one was in need, no project was too large or too small for her to tackle. At God’s urg­ing, she and her hus­band, George, once took on the ren­o­va­tion of a com­plete home that was in des­per­ate need of repair. With God’s help and many vol­un­teers, the project was com­pleted. Every fall she brought school sup­plies for local chil­dren and chil­dren over­seas. Each Christ­mas, she pur­chased shoes, books, socks and under­wear for the Christ­mas Clear­ing­house in Mar­ion. When Car­olyn was 72 years old, she became a hos­pice vol­un­teer. Car­olyn had a tal­ent for paint­ing and writ­ing. She wrote numer­ous poems and short sto­ries. Her paint­ings graced the walls of her home. Car­olyn was devoted to her two grand­daugh­ters and delighted in help­ing them when­ever she could.

Car­olyn is sur­vived by her devoted hus­band, George E. Moser; daugh­ters, Karen Smith of Prospect and Robyn (Jeff) Lit­tell of Prospect; grand­daugh­ters, Brit­tini (Justin) Peter­son and Erinn Lit­tell, Ash­lee (Chris) Drumm and Keri Lit­tell; a step­son, Paul (Teri) Moser of Hub­bard; step-grandchildren, David, Daniel and Melissa Moser; great-grandchildren, Dylan, Mada­lyn, Mason Drumm and Preslee, Cash­ton Lowe; and nieces and nephews.

Car­olyn was pre­ceded in death by her par­ents, Henry and Rose Matthews; and a sis­ter, Char­lotte Mehaffey.
