Eddie Lee Mosley was the son of the late Robert Lee and Willie Mae Mosley. He was born in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Eddie was a child who really wanted to learn. Unfortunately, due to a discovered learning disability, he was unable to finish education in public schools. Slow learning programs were not available during that time. Eddie later continued his education and training through the Job Corps. He is best known for having a “servant’s heart.”
What brought the most joy to his life was when he was using his hands to create, work, and bring things to life. He loved gardening and landscaping. Eddie could grow anything he planted as if he had a green thumb. He enjoyed odd jobs around the house, such as painting, cleaning, and even cooking. He was always eager to help and didn’t mind working, whether for pay or as a volunteer.
With a servant’s heart, he always attended to the needs of others first. Eddie loved his family and dressing nice. To past time, he would go fishing and did not mind giving away whatever he caught. In other words, Eddie did not want anyone to have a sad face around him. It brought joy to him to make someone else’s day and put a smile on their face. God blessed him with a love of sharing.
Eddie was preceded in death by four siblings: Ollie L. Mosley, Betty Lou Frances, Alphonso Theodore Mosley and Robert L. Mosley, Jr. He leaves to cherish his memories: five sisters, Betty Jean (Danny) Walker, Mamie Lee (Ben) Shaw, Anthene/Tina West, Annie (Cedric) Wright, and Ida Mosley, along with a host of nephews, nieces, grandnephews, grandnieces, and friends.
Eddie, you will forever be in our hearts and greatly missed. We can still hear you saying “God Bless Y’all,” which you said on every phone call. We believe God has blessed you! We love you always.
