Donald "Don" Mobley

Donald "Don" Mobley, 82, of Evansville, passed away Monday, August 1, 2022 at his home. Don was born March 30, 1940 in Evansville to the late Jack W. and Dorothy (Leonard) Mobley. In December 1960, he married Maris Sue Wilson and began a long, loving relationship.
Don was a 1958 graduate of Bosse High School and was active in sports and played varsity football, basketball and track.
Upon completion of high school, Don attended Evansville College for two years before enlisting in the United States Air Force. He trained to be an Air Traffic/Weapons Controller which took him to Wurzburg Bavaria Germany, where his wife, Maris and daughter, Donna joined him for a year in Wurzburg.
After receiving an Honorable discharge from the Air Force in 1963, Don began an enjoyable 35 year career with the Aluminum Company of America (Alcoa). He was proud of the fact that he began his career as a plant guard and worked his way up to Manager of Customer Technical Service, calling on customers throughout the United States and Mexico, Venezuela and Europe.
In 1995, Don was awarded the Alcoa Chairman's award for recognition of significant contributions to the development and implementation of materials, processing and systems technologies. At that time, he was the only person at the Alcoa Warrick location to ever receive the highest individual award.
