HOUSTON, TX -- Mrs. Mosley, a devoted and loving wife, mother and grandmother passed away on December 30, 2009 in Houston, TX with her family by her side. She was 77 yrs old and lived in Huntwick Subdivision for the past 40 yrs. She was born in Raleigh, NC, the only child of Orion and Virginia Russell.

She graduated with a BS degree from FSU and was a member of Zeta Tau Alpha sorority. She pursued a Master's degree from UNC where she met and later married Robert Mosley.
Virginia was a true southern lady and a wonderful woman who was generous and caring, self-sacrificing and devoted to her family and many friends. She was a volunteer at NAM, the Heritage Society, Usher for the Theatre, Meals on Wheels, Huntwick Racquet Club and Swimteam, Juvenile Diabetes Foundation, Cy-Fair and Cypress Creek HS, Girl Scouts Leader and many other community events.

We will be eternally grateful for the love she shared with her own children and their friends; she was 'Mom' to many. She opened her heart and home to everyone, including her beloved animals. Her greatest joy was to spend time with her family and friends. She loved to travel, read, do puzzles, walk, dance, eat out, shop, decorate and entertain. Our world will not be the same without her, but we know she will be watching over us as the best Guardian Angel ever.
