On Sept. 29, 1950, she was united in marriage to Eddie Everett Buffington, attended by her soon-to-be brother- and sister-in-law Dr. Gail and Velma Buffington Purves.
Survivors omitted.
Preceding her in death was her husband, Eddie, in 1993. Her son-in-law, Larry D. Thurston, and parents Arthur and Emma also preceded her in death as did siblings Barbara Lee Cunningham and Carl Lee; nephews Tony Lee and Jimmy Cunningham; and all her Buffington family brothers and sisters-in-law, including some of her Buffington nephews and nieces.
Memorial contributions should be directed to the Centralia Church of Christ, 731 N. Jefferson St., Centralia, Mo., 65201.
Romans 8:1-2: "Therefore there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set you free from the law of sin and of death."
Mozelle was united in marriage to Eddie Everett Buffington on Sept. 29, 1950. Two daughters were born of their union. During their marriage they lived in Missouri, Arkansas, Tennessee, Texas and California, but settled for most of their lives in Centralia.
Mozelle was a lifelong Democrat and believed in the equality of all people. Among other political endeavors, she and Eddie were active in supporting Gov. Warren and Betty Hearnes in their campaigning and administration. She and Eddie were honored participants, and he was invited to serve as a colonel in the governor's inauguration parade.
She exhibited many talents, whether in hobbies or business ventures on her own or in supporting Eddie in his barrel stave businesses. Some hobbies were oil painting, sewing, hunting, ceramics or competition games like billiards, pitch or dominoes.
A celebration of her life and memorial service will be held at 2 p.m. Thursday, July 25, at Centralia Church of Christ, 731 N. Jefferson St., Mark White officiating.
