Carolyn Scudder Lindsay Moore
Mrs. Carolyn Moore, affectionately known in her family as "Nini", died August 18, in Laurinburg, NC. Born in Memphis, TN, on November 10, 1920, she was the daughter of the late Joe and Susan Smith Lindsay.
She spent her first twenty years in Cheraw and Columbia, SC, graduating from Dreher High School as the class salutatorian. She attended the University of South Carolina and was graduated from Columbia College, receiving a B.S. degree in music. She, also, received a degree in Christian education from the Presbyterian (USA) School of Christian Education (formerly known as "The Training School") in Richmond, VA.
After teaching music in Aynor, SC, she moved to Laurinburg, where she served as organist and choir and youth director at Laurinburg Presbyterian Church. In 1945, she met her best friend and sweetheart, John Henry Moore, whom she married on June 1, 1946. Together, they raised three daughters.
While an active volunteer in her community, she, also, taught private piano lessons, as well as directed the choirs and served as organist at The First Baptist Church and, later, at the Laurinburg Presbyterian Church, where she received a Women of the Church Life Membership. Her love of music was contagious. Often, if there was an available piano, Carolyn would find her way to the keyboard. Many a sing-along was heard from NC Press Association meetings to Montreat Conferences to Elderhostel programs.
Her love of God, her faithfulness to her family and her church will always be remembered by her family, who survives her: her husband, John, of the home; her three daughters and their husbands: Karen and Clifford Burton of Wilmington, NC; Anne and Scott Miller and Susan and Charles Wentz of Laurinburg; six grandchildren: Mary Lauren Burton; Scottie, Holland, and John Miller; Lindsay Caulder and husband, John, and Charlie Wentz and wife, April.
Her family is grateful that in her final months, even though in declining health, she was able to celebrate her 60th wedding anniversary, sing "happy birthday" at her husbanda
