Mozelle cared deeply for her family and loved to cook for them and others. Her family will remember the many, many shared meals around her table. She loved to garden and kept an immaculate lawn, caring for it personally up to the onset of her illness at age 81. She always showed kindness and compassion to everyone around her and loved to show it in practical ways. She and her quirky charm are greatly missed by all who knew her.
