Joanne Moseley

Joanne L. Moseley, 74, of Rock Island, Illinois left this earth on Monday, May 7, 2018 to be with her husband in heaven.  She was feisty in every way, lovable, ornery, smart-aleck, sweet and kind.  Joanne left her mark on many; whether it be her outrages Facebook posts (that everyone had to decipher), her pranks and jokes she loved to pull on anyone, her sweet gestures just to put a smile on someone’s face and make them happy, to that feisty, spunky attitude that you couldn’t miss.  She was always looking to give to others and would give the shirt off her back to help those who needed it more than her.  Before she passed, she decided she wanted to keep this tradition alive…she asked that instead of sending flowers to her funeral she would like her memorials to be a donation to HopeKids of North Texas in honor of her 9 year old buddy, Connor.

Joanne Louise was born November 7, 1943 in Rock Island, Illinois a daughter of Milford “Bud” and Geneva Lane Garrett.  She graduated from Rock Island High School in 1961.  On December 14, 1963, she married Ronald P. Moseley in Chicago.  They were married until his death on March 22, 2014.  She retired from the Aledo Wal-Mart after working there for several years.  She was a member of St. Catherine’s Catholic Church, Aledo.  Her grandkids were her pride and joy, she tried to attend as many of their activities over the years.  Joanne enjoyed knitting in her spare time.
