Moss

DOROTHY MOSS, 96,
of West Bloomfield, died
Oct. 11, 2016.
She was born in
Detroit in the leap year
of 1920, married Jay
Harmon Moss, the love of
her life, on June 21, 1941,
and touched the hearts
and souls of everyone

she encountered in the 96+ years she was
with us.
She was the proud and doting matriarch
of her extended family. Her greatest gift was
that she made herself available to cook, to
bake, to sew, to volunteer or just listen. She
was hilarious. The world will be less inter-
esting without her.
Mrs. Moss was mother to Gary, Joel and
Karen; grandmother to Sue, Marty, Rachael,
Steve, Stacy and Alex; great-grandmother to
Haley, Wiley, Zuzu, Amana and Griffin.

Make time for 30 minutes of exercise everyday.

A half hour of walking, biking or swimming every day will do wonders for your heart. So
do yourself a favor – cut down on your “sit” time and increase your “ﬁt” time.
We’d rather wait.
