CHAMAPIGN - Lynn Carol (Stensland) Moe, 91, of Champaign died unexpectedly at home on Saturday (Oct. 25, 2025).
Carol was born on May 7, 1934, to Emil and Martha (Berg) Stensland. She grew up on a farm in Antler, N.D., graduated from High School in Mohall, N.D., and attended North Dakota State University. She graduated from NDSU with a degree in home economics and met her husband, Harold Moe, at a Lutheran student group.
Carol and Harold were married 71 years. Together, they built a beautiful life and family, raising three children - Kimberly Simpson of Savoy, Scott (Cathy) Moe of Champaign and Steven (Jennifer) Moe of Indianapolis - and were blessed with eight grandchildren and 23 great-grandchildren.
During their marriage, Harold and Carol called more than 17 places "home" but spent the past 36 years in Champaign. Throughout her life, she met numerous people and remained in touch with many of them - a true testament to her kindness and genuine spirit. Together, Carol and Harold were dedicated Illini fans, but Carol also enjoyed golf, tennis, needlework and fresh flowers. She always had a vase of fresh flowers, often from her yard, on her table.
Carol was a wonderful, supportive and extremely involved wife, mom, grandma, great-grandma and friend. Grandma Carol, or "MamMoe," always took time to handwrite birthday cards, thoughtful notes and Christmas cards to family and friends. She was the ultimate hostess - always ready with drinks, snacks and treats (or cookies from the freezer if you dropped by unexpectedly).
Over the years, Carol regularly attended the Christian Women's Group and was an active participant in her church. She was part of Kappa Kappa Gamma and P.E.O. chapter JP. She loved Jesus and her family deeply. She will be one extremely missed lady by everyone who had the joy of knowing her.
Carol's life will be honored and celebrated at Good Shepherd Lutheran Church, 2101 S. Prospect Ave., Champaign, IL 61821, on Tuesday, Nov. 11. Visitation will begin at 11 a.m. followed by a service at noon.
Memorials for her may be sent to Community Outreach at Good Shepherd Lutheran Church or P.E.O. Chapter JP.

So sorry to hear that Carol passed. Her and Harold were our next door neighbors in Sun City. We kept in touch with phone calls after they were home in Champaign. Hug to Harold.
