Carole Harrison Moss

Carole Harrison Moss passed peacefully from this world to the next on April 4, 2023 at her home. She was the youngest daughter born to James and Betty Shoemaker Harrison on July 12, 1963 in Bloomington, Illinois. They moved to Caledonia in 1966, and she always considered
herself an original Caledonian, deeming everyone who moved there after 1990 as “foreigners”. (You know who you are.) She married Doug Moss on July 9, 1993, and was equal parts dismayed and amused when he became even more of a Caledonian than she was.

Carole was not a social butterfly by any stretch of the imagination, but she was a loyal friend as long as you didn’t make her mad. She was known for her ability to carry a grudge forever, a trait that she came by honestly from her dad, Jimmy. If you were lucky enough to be
her friend on Facebook, congratulations. She kept her friends list at fifteen people, period.
Carole worked for Lighting Unlimited until she was able to use Covid as an excuse to retire in March of 2020. She was a talented furniture painter, but customer service was not her strong suit due to her complete inability to hide her facial expressions. Despite her grumpy exterior,
she had many customers who considered her a friend. She will be remembered as a genius at genealogy, a knowledgeable gardener, and a terrible driver who would go miles out of her way to avoid making a left turn into a parking lot. Most of all she will be remembered for her
beautiful smile and her wicked sense of humor.

She was preceded in death by her parents and her brother, Jimmy. She will be sorely missed by her husband, Doug, her children Jason Harrison, Jana Moss and Justin (Jessica) Moss, and her grandchildren Savannah Moss, Maris James and Sophia Absher. She also leaves behind
her sister, Janet Hudson, brother, Ricky Harrison, brother-in law Bill (Ruthie) Moss , special friend Melanie Scutella, and her Lighting Unlimited family, Scott, Helen and Cara Pridmore, Chase Hazard, Suzy Huckaby and Debbie Parker.

A private family graveside service will be held at a later date. Memorials can be made to the donor’s charity of choice, or better yet, spend the money on a double cheeseburger and an ice cold beer. Carole would approve.
