Vernon Mose Bacorn, age 90, of Wright City, Oklahoma, died, Wednesday, March 6, 2024, at his home. He was born on Sunday, March 26, 1933, to Nelson and Mary Elizabeth Bacorn in Wright City, Oklahoma.
Mose, a man of deep conviction and unwavering dedication, embraced his love for family, faith, and country throughout his remarkable life. Serving in the United States Army during the Korean Conflict, Mose exemplified a commitment to both God and country.
As a devoted member of the Wright City Baptist Church, he contributed significantly, serving as a deacon emeritus, teaching Sunday school, and actively participating in the construction of the new fellowship hall. Mose's entrepreneurial spirit flourished as he owned and operated the Wright City Food Mart for many years, leaving an indelible mark on his community. After "retiring" he became a friendly fixture in Bailey Lumber Company's "guard shack."
His passions extended beyond his professional and religious life; Mose found joy in being part of Campers on a Mission, embracing the camaraderie of the outdoors through activities like bowling and elk hunting, and raising tomatoes, symbolizing his love for the simple pleasures of life. Mose's legacy resonates through his service, dedication, and the countless lives he touched in his multifaceted journey.
