Edith Fleming Moseley

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Edith Marie

Fleming Moseley. Born in Johnson City, Tennessee on November 9,

1933, she was the daughter of William Jack Fleming and Mary Elizabeth

Conner Fleming. Edith grew up in Johnson City, where she attended

Science Hill High School and East Tennessee State University.

After her marriage to George William Moseley, Edith & Bill moved to

Memphis, Tennessee, where he attended dental school. The couple then

settled in Halls Crossroads in 1958. A lifelong learner, Edith went on to

complete her degree in Special Education at the University of Tennessee.

She spent the majority of her career teaching at Brickey McCloud

Elementary, where she touched the lives of countless children with her

patience, kindness, and dedication.

Beyond her professional accomplishments, Edith had a deep love for the

outdoors and for spending time with loved ones. She enjoyed hiking,

traveling, and birdwatching, often accompanied by her best friend

Loretta Black. She also had a passion for gardening, tending to her

plants with the same nurturing spirit she showed her family and students.

Edith was an active and devoted member of Salem Baptist Church,

where she served in various capacities over the years, always looking for

ways to give back to her community. Above all, Edith's greatest joy

came from her family. She was a beloved mother, grandmother, and

great-grandmother. Her love for her family knew no bounds, and she

found immeasurable happiness in the lives of her four grandsons and her

many great-grandchildren, who brought her an abundance of joy and

pride.

Edith is preceded in death by her parents, William Jack Fleming and

Mary Elizabeth Conner Fleming, and her late husband, George William

Moseley, DDS. She is survived by her daughters, Deborah Moseley

Long (Mike) and Kimberly Moseley Sharp Rumph (Jeff); her

(Kylie); as well as her great-grandchildren, Adelyn Marie Long, Callen

Edith's life was one of love, service, and dedication. She leaves behind a

legacy of warmth, kindness, and the unwavering commitment to family

and faith. She will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved her.
