MARJORIE ANN (TRAVIS) MOSSMAN, 75, of Winfield, Kansas, passed away Monday morning, August 5, 2013.
Born February 16, 1938 at a farmhouse in rural Eskridge, Kansas, she was the daughter of Reuben and Ruth Travis.
Marjorie was married to Larry Mossman on June 1, 1956 at the Methodist Church in Eskridge. They resided there until 1957 when they moved to Corona, California. After the death of Marjorie's mother in 1958, the couple moved back to Eskridge, and in 1959 Larry joined the Kansas Highway Patrol.
His job led the family to Independence, Kansas from 1959 to 1971 and then to Winfield.
Marjorie, whose real vocational passion was her role as a wife and mother, held several jobs during her lifetime including office positions at the Forbes Supply Depot in Topeka and the Automotive Control Corporation in Independence. In Winfield, she served as a secretary at Southwestern College from 1972 to 1975, then moved to the Christenson, Mathews, Taylor and Krusor Law Firm, where she remained until her retirement in December 2000.
A devout Christian, Marjorie's faith in Jesus Christ was her primary interest and she was a member of Cornerstone Bible Fellowship in Winfield.
She enjoyed Bible studies, volunteering at the Winfield Food Pantry, the numerous trips she took with Larry in retirement, including many to Bluegrass festivals in Kansas and the surrounding region, animals, all kinds of games, including local trivia contests, cooking, playing the piano, decorating and her many, many friends, both young and old.
She is survived by:
Her husband: Larry Mossman;
Her two children: Kenny Mossman and his wife, Amy of Norman, OK; and Sharon Mossman-Seck and her husband, Michael of Kansas City, MO;
A brother: Phillip Travis and his wife, Eldana of Fort Dodge, KS;
Four grandchildren: Scott Mossman of Owasso, OK; and Matt Mossman, Hannah Murphy and Andrew Mossman of Norman, OK; and
Several nieces and nephews.
In addition to her parents, Marjorie was preceded in death by one brother, Robert Travis.
A memorial service will be held on Thursday, August 8, 2013 at 10:30 A.M. at Cornerstone Bible Fellowship in Winfield after a private burial. Miles Funeral Service is in charge of arrangements.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests memorial gifts in Marjorie's name to either Cornerstone Bible Fellowship or the Winfield Food Pantry. Contributions may be made through the funeral home.
