Ronald
Mosley
Sep 13, 1919 — Jan 28, 2016
Rev. Ronald Mosley, 96, of Marietta Ga., and Bridgewater, Nova Scotia died Thursday, January 28, 2016. A local Celebration of Hope, Joy, Peace and Faith will be held Saturday, February 6th at 1 PM at The Episcopal Church of St. Peter & St. Paul, 1795 Johnson Ferry Rd., Marietta, GA 30062. Rev. Ron Mosley is a decorated WWII veteran and served as a front line Chaplain with the 106th Infantry Division of the US Army, wounded twice at the famous Battle of the Bulge, and received the Bronze Star for heroism. His other decorations include the Purple Heart, European Theatre Service Medal, American Theatre Service Medal, Victory Medal and USAR Medal. He is also the author of The Kit Bag , a publication that contains a selection of interviews done by Rev. Mosley during his early years as he sat down with veterans of WWII, armed only with a great understanding of the stories they told and a tape recorder. He was quoted saying, "I had a wonderful time recording the war adventures of sacrifices and service. Our war veterans opened up. I let them talk, and talk they did." These interviews have now been captured in a book that will remain a lasting legacy to those who went to war and returned and those that paid the ultimate sacrifice. He has written columns for newspapers for over thirty years. After The Kit Bag , he wrote a column called "Consider This" which is now the book, Walk With Me . Rev. Mosley is preceded in death by his first wife, Eloise Mosley. He is survived by his wife, Priscilla Mosley of Marietta, GA. Children: Professor Ronald A. Mosley Jr., J. D., University of Maine Machias; Professor Gordon G. Mosley, D.B.A., Troy University, AL and Katherine E. (Mosley) Mills, Lafayette, IN. Step children: Richard I. Mitchell, Jr. of Jasper, GA; Drucilla M Groves of Elgin, TX and Jay P. Mitchell of Marietta, GA; and 10 grandchildren scattered throughout the United States and Australia. He was under medical care through the Veterans Administration Hospital in Decatur Ga. He wanted to let all persons know what wonderful care he received by the Bronze Clinic and Rina Eisenstein, MD. Their help and care was superior. The family will receive friends during a reception immediately following the service at the Church. In lieu of flowers the family requests contributions be made to St. Peter and St. Paul in Rev. Mosley's name. For online condolences, please visit www.mariettafuneralhome.org .
