Carol Moody, 78, passed away on Sunday, December 12, 2010, in Phoenix Ore. She was born in Medford, Ore., on September 15, 1932, to Thomas and Verda Edsall. She is survived by brother, Alvin Edsall, of San Diego, Calif.; and sister, Bernice Florey, of Eagle Point, Ore.
Carol graduated from Medford High School in 1950, and then married Mel Rose. She had three children, Larry Rose, of Medford, Ore., Linda (Robert) Durrer, of Madera, Calif., and Diana (Myrl) Jacobsen, of Central Point, Ore. On February 1, 1969, she married Earl Moody, of Medford, Ore. Then her family grew with his children, Paula Moody, of Phoenix, Ore., and Gary Moody, of Medford, Ore. Paula had been Carol's angel on earth, taking care of her the last few years. Carol has nine grandchildren, nine great-grandchildren; and two great great-grandchildren.
Carol worked for Harry and David for 45 years in the packing of pears and roses. She loved to travel with Earl in his truck and see the country. With Earl's passing in 2003, Carol devoted her time to all her grandchildren and family, helping us to keep focus on what life is all about. She always had a smile and a word of comfort in our times of need
