It is with great sadness that we announce the unexpected passing of Lisa Jean (Moore) Long, 62, of Morganton. Born on June 30, 1961, Lisa departed this world too soon on July 14, 2023.
Lisa was a loving wife, mother, and grandmother, affectionately known as Momma, Mawmaw, or Lollipop. Lisa overcame many challenges throughout her life, and even through adversity she lived a life filled with love and happiness. She grew up in Wilkes County before moving to Morganton. Lisa worked many years at Bob’s Diner in Glen Alpine. She enjoyed cooking, rock collecting, gardening, and listening to music. She loved hummingbirds, angels, and flowers (especially roses). She cherished spending time with her family and found great joy in trips to the beach. Her life was filled with warmth, laughter, and love, and she will be greatly missed by all who knew her.
Lisa is survived by her beloved husband of 37 years, Gary Lynn Long, of the home. Her spirit lives on in their children (who she loved unconditionally): sons, Christopher Barker and Dustin Long. She was incredibly proud of her grandchildren who she loved dearly, Ayden, Noah, Braylon Long, and Selena Smith.
In addition to her immediate family, Lisa is survived by her siblings, Ronald “Petey” Moore of Wilkesboro, Terry Moore and spouse, Kim, of Roaring River, Martha Wood and spouse, Lane, of Wilkesboro, Roger Moore and spouse, Judy, of Millers Creek, Brian Moore of Wilkesboro, Harrison “Matt” Moore and spouse, Mary, of Wilkesboro, and Scott “Scotty” Moore and spouse, Mindy, of Hershey. She also leaves behind a loving sister-in-law, Libby Silcox; a special friend, Diana Depew; an aunt, Sharon “Kay” Meldoff; along with numerous cousins, nieces, nephews, friends, and extended family.
She was preceded in death by her parents, Carl and Doris Jean Moore; mother and father-in-law, Getty and Dale Long; her brothers, Randy “Catfish” Moore and Rodney Steven Moore; grandmother, Vera Call Moore Shepard, brother-in-law, Tony Long; and a nephew, Ryan Moore.
The family will greet friends from 6 to 8 p.m., Thursday, July 20, 2023 at Sossoman Funeral Home.
In lieu of flowers, to honor Lisa's memory and to support the family during this difficult time, contributions can be made directly to Sossoman Funeral Home, P.O. Box 2608, Morganton, NC 28680.
