erizing the checkout system at 
the library during the 1980s. 
Perhaps even more meaning-
ful, she also passed her love of 
reading onto her children and 
grandchildren.
“She read novels everything 
 
and just about anything that 
came into the library,” Lisa 
said. “One of the perks of the 
job was she got to read all the 
new books before they made 
their way to the shelves. She 
liked to know what the latest 
releases were and felt it was 
important to be able to share 
her knowledge about the 
books with library patrons.” 
She loved seeing her chil-
dren’s friends when they hung 
out at the library, daughter 
Rhonda Moss said.
“My friends would go the 
library to study and end up 
talking to my mom the whole 
time they were there,” Rhonda 
said. “They loved her.” 
Moss grew up in Detroit 
and graduated from Mumford 
High School. In addition to 
reading, she liked to go for 
long walks and played mah-
jong and canasta.
Mrs. Moss is survived by 
her husband; two daughters, 
Lisa and Rhonda; her son and 
daughter-in-law, Eric Moss 
and Brenda Rosenthal; grand-
children, Danny and Max 
Cohen, and Josh and Noah; 
sister-in-law, Zeda Nathan; 
son-in-law, David Cohen; her 
long-time caregiver, Daisy 
Lawson; and caregiving team, 
Cecile, Daisy, Alma and 
Veronica. 
She was the daughter of the 
late Leslie and Minnie Joseph; 
sister of the late Judith Shorr. 
Interment was held at 
Adat Shalom Memorial 
Park Cemetery in Livonia.

COLEMAN 
VERONA, 88, of 
Farmington Hills, 
died Dec. 15, 
2021. 
A natural 
giver and people connector, 
Coleman loved life and shar-
ing his passions with people. 
He was present and genuine, 
always interested in learning 
about others and imparting 
his wisdom or finding a way 
to help better their lives. He 
received great joy seeing oth-
ers achieve their dreams and 
was always front and center, 
cheerleading all the way. 
Laughter and fun were a 
huge part of Coleman’s life. He 
was always sharing stories and 
telling jokes. Coleman never 
met a stranger; and one thing 
for sure, if he knew you, he 
was always in your corner.
As a lifelong horseback 
rider, Coleman spearheaded 
his first official City Slicker 
trip out West. This trip 
became an annual adventure 
spanning 15 years often to dif-

ferent destinations. He would 
round up 20 city slickers from 
near and far, ages 17 to 90, 
including many fathers and 
sons.
He loved his family and 
was loved in return. He will 
be missed by surviving fam-
ily members, including his 
beloved wife; Judy Trivax 
Verona; cherished son, Paul 
Verona (Julie); daughter, 
Rhonda Verona; adored 
grandchildren, Bradley, 
Brandon and Jessica Verona; 
sister-in-law, Paula Polan 
(the late John Polan); adored 
nieces, nephews, great-nieces 
and great-nephews; wonderful 
lifelong friends.
Mr. Verona was the cher-
ished son of the late Florence 
Verona and the late Abe 
Verona; son-in-law of the late 
Ruth Trivax Waxer; brother of 
the late Eleanor Heyman (the 
late Dr. Louis Heyman). 
To honor his memory, 
please donate to a charity of 
your choice. Arrangements by 
Ira Kaufman Chapel.
