Mozelle Bice

Mozelle Bice, 98, of Lubbock, went to be with her Lord and Savior on Thursday, October 9, 2025, surrounded by her loving family. Mozelle was born on May 11, 1927, on the Martin Ranch in Floyd County, to the late Ira Stonewall Linch and Irene (Blue) Linch.

Mozelle attended school in Floydada and graduated from Floydada High School in 1945.

She met the love of her life, J. T. Bice, and they were united in marriage on April 24, 1947. Out of this union was born a son Gary, and a daughter Theresa. Mr. Bice preceded Mozelle in death on December 12, 1999.

Mozelle worked as a caretaker for a day care center in Lubbock, and worked for the Southwestern Bell Telephone Company in the 1940’s. She was the ultimate organizer, keeping everything and everyone in order. She loved to cook and two of her specialties were a chocolate meringue pie and fried okra. She took care of her family and was involved in pretty much all their activities throughout the years. She has been a long time member of Quaker Avenue Baptist Church.

Those left to honor and cherish her memory include her daughter, Theresa Guillmen of Lubbock; three grandchildren: Caleb Bice, Holly Guillmen and Heather Bradley; four great-grandchildren: Jaden Bradley, Emersyn Bradley, Addisyn Padgett and Madden Bradley. She was preceded in death by her parents; her husband; one son, Gary Guillmen in 1984; two brothers: Talmage Linch and Roy Linch; one sister, Ione Caldwell.
