An admired educator who made learning math fun for her students and was loved and respected by her students, peers and associates, Ms. Moreland died on June 7 at 58-years-old.

She was a graduate of South West Atlanta High School and Clark Atlanta University, where she majored in education and pledged Alpha Kappa Alpha, a prominent Black college sorority.

"This one hurts," Jamel Parker wrote on Facebook after learning that his former math teacher had died. "Ms. Caryl Coleman Moreland was more than a teacher to me. She was my safe haven. I was fortunate enough to have her in both my middle school and my high school."

Moreland taught math for more than 30 years for the Fulton County Public Schools in Fulton County, Georgia, retiring earlier this year as a math teacher and department head at Benjamin Banneker High School. (Note: The faculty, staff and student body at Benjamin Banneker High school will celebrate Moreland's life during a special memorial at the high school stadium at 6 pm on Monday, June 14, 2021).

In her past time she loved reading, outdoor activities, and spending time with family and friends, including her two children, an older  sister, and three brothers.

Moreland's sister, Marya Brown, said that "Caryl was an excellent and respected teacher and a devoted mother who was  dearly loved, and the family thanks everybody for the outpouring of love and support during this time of bereavement."

A divorcee, Ms. Moreland leaves behind two children; DeAnna Moreland, 23, and Mitchell Moreland, 20, four siblings, aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, cousins, and a a host of other relatives and friends and associates. RIP Caryl Coleman Moreland.
