Joyce Moss was born on June 11, 1930 in Clanton, Alabama, to Cecil Clay and Pauline Marcus, and went to be with our gracious Lord and Savior on June 16, 2019. Joyce is preceded in death by her parents Cecil Clay and Pauline Johnson, her loving husband of 56 years Louis Moss, her brother Clay Jr. Marcus and her sister Dolores Osteen. Joyce is survived by her sister Gertie Runnels, three sons Robert and wife Cathy, Mike and wife Nora, Bruce and wife Kathleen, 10 grandchildren, 26 great-grandchildren, 2 great-great-grandchildren and numerous nieces and nephews.
Joyce was delivered by her grandfather who was a doctor. Her other grandfather owned a dairy farm and grew citrus on the land where Disney World now stands. Louis, the love of her life, met her on Mother’s Day, proposed on July 4th, and they were married on New Year’s Eve. Joyce and Louis raised three boys all born in Birmingham, Alabama. Joyce worked in a gift shop, called Judy’s Sunshine Gifts, and then later worked for a company doing home interiors and selling Beauti-Control makeup for many years. After Louis was no longer able to work, she went to work at American-Hoescht/Celanese as a maintenance secretary where she retired.
Her passions were painting, crocheting, sewing and for everyone to know Jesus Christ as their savior. Her favorite time of the year was Christmas because it is the time when we honor the birth of Jesus Christ Our Lord.
