Charlotte was the only child of Gaston Harbour and Katherine Kersh. She was born January 19,
1944, in Amarillo during WW II when Gaston worked at Pantex. The family moved to Shamrock,
Texas in 1946. She was active in the First Baptist Church of Shamrock where she played the
piano and organ. While in high school, Charlotte was involved in many activities such as Latin
Club, Future Teachers of America, Speech, Choir, Drama, Rainbow Girls, and later graduated in
1962.
After high school, Charlotte came to Waco, Texas to attend Baylor University. That fall, she had
a blind date with an Aggie named David Moody. It was love at first sight. He later transferred to
Baylor, and they were married in Waco on March 19, 1965 at Columbus Avenue Baptist Church.
She received her B.A. degree in elementary education in 1967.
Charlotte and David manufactured trailers through their company DEMCO for sixteen years.
After selling the corporation in 1982, David pursued his interests in various farming and
ranching entities, and Charlotte began a new twenty-three-year career as a Financial Aid
Counselor for Baylor University where she loved ministering to students. Charlotte’s other
passion was serving as co-director of the preschool choir at Columbus Avenue teaching music
and sharing Jesus with children for almost two decades.
Upon retiring, she moved to the family ranch in Piedmont, Texas where she enjoyed her
remaining years gardening, collecting glass, searching for antiques, and researching her family
ancestry. Charlotte was very active in the First Baptist Church of Bryan, the Navasota Garden
Club where she served as President, Daughters of the American Revolution where she served as
2nd Vice Regent, Two Rivers Historical Society, and the Order of the Eastern Star.
Charlotte was preceded in death by her husband, David Evans Moody in 2006, and her parents,
Mr. and Mrs. Gaston Harbour of Shamrock, Texas.
She is survived by her daughter, Janet Moody Lamb and spouse Rob Lamb of Anderson, Texas;
her son Michael Moody of Anderson, Texas; and her daughter Laura Moody Miller and spouse
Cody Miller of Robinson, Texas. Her grandchildren: Analeigh Lamb and Alexander Lamb, both of
Anderson, Texas; Caleb Miller and Brooklyn Miller, both of Robinson, Texas.
