Mary Mooring Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
Born in Goldsboro on July 12, 1931, to the late William Edgar Cogdell and Henrietta Neal Cogdell, Mary Lou lived a life marked by creativity, faith, and devotion to her family. She was preceded in death by her first husband, Donald I. Weagley; her son, Donald A. Weagley; and her sister, Donna C. Daughtry.
For many years, Mary Lou shared her talent and love for beauty as a floral designer with Van Roekel Florist in Goldsboro. She was a faithful member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and found her greatest joy in time spent with those she loved most-her family.
A graveside service will be held at 1:00 p.m. on Saturday, August 16, 2025, at Wayne Memorial Park. The family will greet friends at the cemetery following the service.
Mary Lou is survived by her husband, William A. Mooring; daughters, Mary Beth Harper and husband, Keith and Claudia Lee Brock and husband, David; daughter-in-law, Linda Weagley; brother, Claude Cogdell; ten grandchildren; and eighteen great-grandchildren.
