SURRY
Jean E. (Harriman) Moon, 78, left her ancestral home to join the Lord in Heaven Aug. 25, 2019. She was born in Blue Hill, Feb. 16, 1941, the daughter of William G. and E. Irene (Young) Harriman.
Her life’s focus was her family; she cared for them with unwavering passion. She was a founding member of Young Memorial Chapel and spent many years teaching youth group, Sunday school and Bible study. A talented seamstress, Jean and Irene ran Irene’s Sewing Shop in Surry Village for several years. Wayne and Jean led 4-H in the neighborhood to enrich the lives of the young people on Newbury Neck. Her home was always open to anyone who needed a place to find support, a warm meal or a helping hand.
Jean is survived by her husband of 60 years, Wayne A. Moon; sons, Robert (Kelly) of Ellsworth and Roy (Cielo) of Burkburnett, Texas; daughter, Valerie (Brian) of Surry and daughter of her heart, Tracey Jones of Sedgwick. Jean and Wayne have been blessed with 11 grandchildren, Robert Jr. (Darcy), Jennifer, Steven (Rose), Christina, Kurt, Jeri, Nina, Jini, Wally, Samantha and Thomas. They have nine great-grandchildren, Layne, Mathew, Kiera, Daphne, George, Sebastian, Steven Jr. Ryland and Mandayn; also sister-in-law Cynthia (Moon) Tassinari and brother-in-law John Ellingwood. She will be greatly missed by her many nieces, nephews, cousins and lifelong friends. She was predeceased by her parents; in-laws James (Markie) and Norma Moon; sisters, Joan (Howard) Morse and June Ellingwood; sisters-in-law Diane McNerney Michaud, Erdine McAlpine and Roaslie Potavin and brothers-in-law, Anthony Moon and Douglas Moon.
Special thanks to her niece Cheryl Sutherland for her support and care during this time.
