Carolyn Kay (Matthews) Moser

Carolyn was a homemaker for many years as well as working 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 & Erinn Littell. In the 1980’s 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 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.
