Mrs. Moss went into the nursing profession in the 1950's, and was employed at Bronson Methodist Hospital for 31 years until she retired in 1989. She was a true caregiver, not only for her family but for many patients, and known for her many charitable contributions. She was an avid sports fan, especially for Detroit sport franchises.
