Family Members:

Carla Lee Moss, a voracious reader, loved the library.
So much so that she began volunteering at the Southfield library during the early 1970s while busily raising her three children. It didn't take long for Carla to turn her passion for books into a career; she moved up the ranks quickly from volunteer to part-time clerk and eventually head of circulation.
After a long illness, Carla died peacefully at home in West Bloomfield on Dec. 16; her loving husband of 62 years, Howard, and her caregivers, were by her side. She was 82.
Carla's daughter, Lisa Cohen, said her mother's biggest professional accomplishment was computerizing the checkout system at the library during the 1980s. Perhaps even more meaningful, she also passed her love of reading onto her children and grandchildren.
"She read novels -- everything -- and just about anything that came into the library," Lisa said. "One of the perks of the job was she got to read all the new books before they made their way to the shelves. She liked to know what the latest releases were and felt it was important to be able to share her knowledge about the books with library patrons."
She loved seeing her children’s' friends when they hung out at the library, daughter Rhonda Moss said.
"My friends would go the library to study and end up talking to my mom the whole time they were there," Rhonda said. "They loved her." Moss grew up in Detroit and graduated from Mumford High School. In addition to reading, she liked to go for long walks and played mahjong and canasta.
Beloved wife of Howard Moss. Dear mother of Eric (Brenda) Moss, Lisa Cohen and Rhonda Moss. Loving grandmother of Danny and Max Cohen, Josh and Noah Moss. Dearest sister of the late Judith Shorr. Also remembered by many loving nieces, nephews, other family members, friends, her special caregiver Daisy Lawson and other caregivers, Cecile, Daisy, Alma and Veronica.
