Tosha L Mudd

Tosha Lynn Mudd, 54, of Rural Bowling Green, Missouri went to her eternal home on Thursday, January 29, 2026, after a valiant fight with cancer.

Tosha was the daughter of Richard D. and Vicki L. (Mehler) Cox. She grew up in rural Curryville, MO and attended Bowling Green Schools, graduating from Bowling Green R-1 High School in 1990.

She pursued a BSN in Nursing, attending Hannibal LaGrange College, St. Charles Community College,and Washington University School of Nursing while working at Barnes Jewish Hospital.

While pursuing her degree, she fell in love and was married. She fell one semester short of finishing her BSN. From this marriage Tosha was blessed with two beautiful children whom she loved more than anything else in her life. William E. (Trey) Mudd III and Victoria L. (Tori) Mudd.

She enjoyed attending Trey and Tori's softball and basketball games while they attended school in Silex, MO. She never missed a game and was their loudest supporter.

Tosha later worked for Pike Medical Clinic as Dr. Philip Pitney's assistant. She also worked for the University of Missouri Extension in Montgomery City, MO, teaching nutrition at multiple schools in a three(3) county area.

Tosha enjoyed being outside in the sun. Gardening, mowing the lawn, and spending time boating and sunning on the Mississippi River with her good friends, Ronnie and Lisa Lindsay. She also loved to travel with her special companion, Rodney Dolbere. They made several trips to Florida and one trip to the Dominican Republic. One of her favorite pastimes was attending concerts by her favorite band "Drawl STL" with her friend, Phyllis Tophinke.

She is survived by her two children, William E. "Trey" Mudd III of Olney, MO and Victoria L. "Tori" Mudd of Columbia, MO, her brother, Rusty W. Cox, nephew Joshua W.

The family offers their special thanks to Tosha's best friends; Susan Graver and Stacey McLaughlin who offered their love, support, and help during her final months. Without, those two wonderful friends she could not have remained in her home until her passing.
