April 12, 1932–June 17, 2014
The best wife, mom, grandmother, and great-grandmother ever, Betty Lucille Mossafer, passed away peacefully Tuesday, June 17 at her home surrounded by those who loved her deeply. Born April 12, 1932 in Montana to Adelaide and Richard Jones, she is survived by her husband Albert Nessim Mossafer, her sister Jean Jones, four wacky daughters Laurel (Bob) Mossafer-Moultray, Patricia Mossafer-Cacabelos, Linda (Mark) Kosin, and Elizabeth (David) Mossafer-Rosenthal, eight grandchildren Josh (Amy) Moultray, Jonathan (Natasha) Cacabelos, Jeffrey Cacabelos, Jimmy (Shaylee) Moultray, David Kosin, Alyssa Rosenthal, Nate Kosin and Ben Rosenthal, and two great-grandchildren. In 1950, she was lovingly married to her high school sweetheart, the luckiest man in the world, Al, at the age of 18. She was blessed with a large and happy family; Betty filled each day and each of their hearts with love. Betty dedicated her love and unwavering support to her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren; attending endless baseball games, happily hosting family dinners, and planning annual themed trips with her daughters.
Betty spearheaded a myriad of community activities from Sisterhood president and board member of Temple De Hirsch Sinai to Mercer Island School District PTA president to advisor for the Mercer Island City Council. She also led the donation drive to support the Mercer Island Fire Department’s purchase of their first thermal imager.
In honor of Betty’s memory and love, the family continues to support her decades-long commitment to Noel House (www.noelhouse.org) and New Horizons (nhmin.org) by asking that any contributions in Betty’s memory be sent there.
