Mae Ann Mooney

Mae Ann Mooney passed away the morning of September 23, 2016, after a four-year battle with cancer. Even in illness, Mae Ann always thought of others first, praying, talking, and laughing with them, and in her later days she worried that her caregivers might injure themselves moving her around. She brought joy to all who knew her; her infectious smile and laughter captivated everyone. She was a catechist at her local parish for many years, teaching elementary school children, leaving the ministry when her mother became ill. She will be greatly missed, but our loss is our Lord’s gain, and now she spreads her smile in heaven.

She was born May 22, 1959 to James Richard and Francis Elizabeth (Webb) Mosley in Dallas, Texas and shortly afterwards they moved to southern California where Mae Ann lived the rest of her life. She married David Carleton Mooney on May 8, 1982 who survives her. They moved to Victorville, California in April, 1989 where they raised their five surviving children, Danielle Elizabeth Sticha, Richard Carleton Mooney, Rachel Desiree Mooney, Theresa Mae Mooney, and Amanda Jane Mooney. She is also survived by seven grandchildren, Braden and Kellan Sticha (Danielle and Mathew Sticha), Cashton, Greyson, and Noah Mooney (Richard and Kimberly Nall), Dylan Mooney (Rachel and Marc Resendez), and LilyAnn Hamilton (Theresa and Matthew Hamilton) and her elder sister JudyLynn Mischel. Her parents and younger siblings Thomas Mosley and Rita Mosley-Katpar, preceded her in death.
