Rainey Moss Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Walter J. Kent Funeral Home - Elmira on May 1, 2025.
Rainey Gene Moss born on November 18, 1947 in Douglas Georgia to the late Luke and Ella Moss was blessed with a talent for music, a talent that he shared with a number of churches within his community. He lived life on his own terms, placing his faith and trust in GOD and our memories should be of those good times, laughter, love and fellowship.
We are greatful for the time GOD gave him to share with each of us.
2 Corinthians 5:8
We are confident, I say and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord.
Rest In Peace Man of GOD.
