Main St, Shelbyville, Tennessee. The visitation will be one hour prior to service. Burial will be at Evergreen Cemetery, Tullahoma, Tennessee. Ms. Moorehead lived life to the fullest through simple pleasures; spending time with family and friends, feeding anyone that needed to be fed, giving much needed advice, and bringing laughter to multitudes.

She was preceded in her death by her late husbands, Carol Foster and John Moorehead, daughter Niellen Foster, sons Carol Foster Jr., Carl Foster, Benjamin Foster, and Walter L. Readus. She was also preceded in death by 4 grandchildren, 4 brothers, and 1 sister. Ms. Moorehead accepted Christ as her Lord and Savior at an early age. She is survived by one sister Althea Nance, Chattanooga; four children, James E. Foster, Shelbyville; Mamie L. Ridley, Shelbyville; Carolyn Davis, (John Wayne), Tullahoma; Melissa Bowen (Douglas), Tullahoma, 20 grandchildren, 48 great grandchildren, 21 great great grandchildren, and many nieces, and nephews.
