Nanci Mosier

Nanci was born on August 22, 1946, in Modesto, California, to Oren and Viva Bradley. She was the baby of 10 children and was preceded in death by her parents and all of her older siblings.

Nanci attended Pentecostal Bible College in Livermore, California, where she met the love of her life, Ron Mosier. They were married on June 17, 1967, and shared 59 years together, serving God and ministering side by side. In 1969, they welcomed their daughter, Dawna Woolf, and in 1973, their son, Jason Mosier.

From an early age, music was a special part of Nanci's life. At just eight years old, her hands were anointed in church to play the piano, and she continued playing throughout her life. Music became one of the many ways she worshiped God and blessed others. She was also a gifted singer, teacher, author, and mentor who touched the lives of women around the world.

Nanci was a woman of deep faith who devoted her life to ministry alongside Ron. For 59 years, they served together, sharing the Gospel and investing in the lives of countless people. Her influence reached far beyond the walls of any church. She had a gift for teaching, encouraging, and mentoring others, and many lives were changed because she was willing to pour herself into them.

But Nanci was much more than her accomplishments and ministry. Nanci was vivacious. She was fun. She was full of life.

She had a personality that could light up a room and a wonderful sense of humor that made people laugh. She knew how to have fun, how to celebrate, and how to make ordinary moments into memories. Those who knew her best knew that life with Nanci was rarely boring. She brought energy, laughter, and joy wherever she went.

To her family, she was affectionately known by many names: “Big Momma,” “Big Red,” “Skinny Kitty,” and “Gigi.” Each name carried its own story, but all of them represented the special place she held in the hearts of those who loved her.

Nanci was a talented seamstress who made clothes for her children and husband. She was creative, crafty, and always making something. She was an avid card designer and maker, using her creativity to bless others.

And then there was Christmas.

Christmas was Nanci's favorite time of year, and she didn't believe in limiting Christmas to December. Her house was decorated year-round. For Nanci, Christmas wasn't simply a holiday—it was a celebration. It was about family, joy, giving, and making memories with the people she loved.

Above all else, Nanci loved her family.

Her greatest joy was seeing her family together and watching the generations that followed her grow. She loved deeply, laughed freely, and gave of herself generously. The lessons she taught, the prayers she prayed, the music she played, the stories she told, and the memories she created will live on in those who knew and loved her.

Her life is beautifully reflected in Proverbs 31:10–31, a passage that speaks of a woman of virtue, strength, wisdom, faith, and love—a woman whose family rises up and calls her blessed.

Nanci leaves behind a family who will carry her legacy forward.

She is survived by her beloved husband, Ron Mosier; her children, Dawna (Greg) Woolf and Jason (Holly) Mosier; her grandchildren, Justin (Morgan) Woolf, Austin Mosier, Mikayla (Jacob) Butcher, Bradley (Jordan) Mosier, and Cameron (Kerenah) Woolf; and her great-grandchildren, Meiah Woolf, Gabriel Mosier, Ezra Lamb, Eliza Woolf, and Obediah Woolf.

Her earthly journey is finished, but her influence is not.

She leaves behind more than memories. She leaves behind faith that was lived, songs that were played, lessons that were taught, lives that were touched, laughter that was shared, and a family that was deeply loved.

Nanci spent her life serving God, loving her family, encouraging others, and making the most of every opportunity to celebrate life. She was a wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, minister, teacher, musician, creator, mentor, and friend.

And to those who knew her simply as Nanci, she was something even more special:

She was one of a kind.

She will be profoundly missed, lovingly remembered, and forever carried in the hearts of those who had the privilege of knowing her.

“Her children arise up, and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praiseth her.”

— Proverbs 31:28 (KJV)
