Corinda C. Moeller

Corinda C. Moeller

Corinda C. Moeller passed peacefully from this life in the farmhouse that was her home for 76 years on January 20, 2021. She was born in San Marcos, Texas on May 22, 1923, to parents Cullen Crews and Inez Smith Crews. She graduated from San Marcos High School and enrolled at the Southwest Texas State Teacher’s College (now Texas State University.)

When the United States entered World War II, she and her older sister, Anne, took leave of college and moved to San Antonio to take Federal jobs in the war effort. With the War winding down in 1945, she married Leonard O. Moeller and, as the war ended, started life as a homemaker on the Moeller Farm near San Marcos in Guadalupe County. Like most German-American farmers, they raised much of their own food including beef cattle, milk cows, chickens and eggs, corn and garden vegetables. They also raised three children on the farm. Corinda was a strong believer in education and, with her encouragement, all three of her children, as well as her 5 grandchildren, received college degrees.

She was also a faithful Methodist and life-long member of the First United Methodist Church of San Marcos.

Her daughter Sally M. Kingsbury (husband: Tim Kingsbury/spouse: Jan) passed away in 2005 and her husband, Leonard, in 2009 (at age 93). Corinda vowed to stay on the farm and she fulfilled that vow. Thanks in large part to her dedication, the farm has now been in the Moeller Family for a century.

She is also predeceased by her parents, her older sister, Anne Callahan Wood, and a brother (Cullen, Jr.) who died in childhood before Corinda was born.

She is survived by her son, Michael Moeller (spouse: Nora Linares-Moeller); daughter, Anne M. Carson (spouse: Jack E. Carson) and five grandchildren: Cullen Moeller, Klint Kingsbury, Kliff Kingsbury, Jill Minnix, and Jenny Couch. She also leaves behind grandchildren’s spouses: Christi D. Moeller, Rachel B. Kingsbury, and Ryan Couch as well as10 great-grandchildren, and numerous nieces and nephews.
