The couple spent a timeless 66 years together abounding with two children and decades of memories. She was a woman with much determination and intelligence who spent her days as a self-taught homemaker. While she was looking after her family, Moss developed a love for cooking, sewing, and working in her yard; practices she continued as long as she was able.
