Carolyn was born July 3, 1935, in Tulsa, Oklahoma, a daughter of Ruth and Harry Cook. She attended school and graduated from Will Rogers High School.

Carolyn married the love of her life, William “Jerry” Moore, on October 6, 1950, in Foyle, Oklahoma. The two were blessed with two children, Marcia Carolyn and Susan Michelle.

Carolyn was a loving, nurturing, and care giving mother who loved giving for her children. Carolyn loved being a homemaker, providing home cooked meals for her family, and providing a wonderful home for her family.

Carolyn lived in Duncan, Oklahoma, for the majority of her life until 2020 when she relocated and made Newcastle, Oklahoma, her home. She enjoyed traveling, camping at the lake, watching hummingbirds, and most of all spending time with her family.
