Caroline Sue Moore

Caroline Sue Moore passed away on Wednesday September 28, 2016 at 2:30am after a long and courageous battle with aggressive non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. Caroline was born August 16, 1949 in Salem, Oregon where she lived her entire life. She is preceded in death by her father, Glen Gettis, her mother, Corrine Gettis, her sister, Edith Rowe, and her stepson, Eric Moore. She has two siblings, Jerome Gettis and his wife Vivienne and Glenda Anderson and her partner Bill Lusby, who will miss her greatly. Caroline met the love of her life, Gary Moore, on November 6, 1993 and they married on July 20, 1996. Between the two they have five children, Caroline's two daughters, Melody Kokotan and her husband John, Heidi Henthorn and her partner Steve Kelton, and Gary's three sons, Gary Moore and his wife Taryn, Eric Moore, Ryan Moore and his wife Amanda. Together they have 12 beautiful grandchildren and one great granddaughter. Caroline worked for many years at Fairview Training Center, ending her career there as a physical therapy aide when the facility closed. But her passion has always been antiques and for many years she, with the assistance of her husband, has ran her own business buying and selling antiques and collectibles. Caroline was a kind, generous, loving, beautiful, and intelligent woman, she was able to sew amazing creations and each of her grandchildren received a handmade, personalized quilt when they were born. She had many other talents including writing poems, making an awesome cheesecake, canning all sorts of fruits and vegetables, and she was a talented artist. She was an amazing woman and her loss has left a huge void in the lives of those who love her.
