Virginia Mosley
Ocean Pines

It is with a profound sense of sadness that we say so long to Virginia Mosley (Monaco) who passed away on Monday, May 12 after a long struggle with dementia. Not goodbye, but so long.

Virginia was born to Joseph and Dorothy Monaco on Feb. 27, 1945 in Washington, DC

Virginia was predeceased in death by her parents and her four sisters, Barbara Wargo, Dorothy Zagby, Thelma Scott and Joanne Garrison.  She is survived by her loving husband, Carl Mosley of Ocean Pines, and her children, Katherine Walter, and Donald Walter.  She is also survived by her grandchildren, Heather Willhide, Maxwell Gardner, Amanda (Christian) Cole, Brittany (Tyler) Briggs and Melanie Walter and 3 great-grandchildren, Ava, Nora and Sam.

Graduating from Northwestern High School in Hyattsville, Md. Virginia attended the University of Maryland before entering Government Service. Viginia served in the US Savings Bond Department before becoming a legal secretary in both private and government service, retiring from the Justice Department while working in the prosecutor’s office at the US District Court in Greenbelt.

Carl and Virginia moved to Ocean Pines in 2000 from Howard County knowing that they wanted to live in the land of pleasant living. Traveling throughout the United States and Europe gave them time to explore new vistas and cultures. An avid needlework craftsperson Virginia used her other talents to become a proud baker and hostess to the many family and friends gathering at holidays in her home.

A celebration of life will be held at The Church of Holy Spirit located at 10001 Coastal Highway on Saturday, May 31 with gathering at 10:30 a.m. and service at 11 a.m.  Reception to follow. The Rt. Rev, Santosh Marray, the Eleventh Bishop of the Diocese of Easton will officiate.

In remembrance, in lieu of flowers, donations may be made to The Church of the Holy Spirit in her name.

A special thank you goes out to all the staff at the Woodlands of Ocean Pines and Coastal Hospice who provided such wonderful care to Virginia and the family during this difficult time.
