Moselle Y Grange Obituary (1918 - 2008)

Moselle Young Grange OGDEN - In the early evening of Sunday, April 13, 2008 our wonderful mother passed away, surrounded by her loving family. She will forever be a shining example of love, courage, and enduring to the end. Moselle was born in Ogden, UT on October 23, 1918 to Tressa Scott and David Robert Young. Due to her father's employment, her early childhood was spent traveling in Utah, Idaho, and Wyoming, and she never attended two years of elementary school in the same town. For most of her adult life, she lived in Weber County. She married her eternal companion, Kelland W. Grange on July 2, 1940 in the Manti LDS Temple. He preceded her in death on December 5, 2001. Also preceding her in death were her parents, a brother, Scott Young; a son, Stephen Grange; a grandson, Derek Grange; and great-grandson, Boady Carter. Moselle loved the Gospel, her family, holidays - especially Christmas, traveling, camping with the kids, fairy tales, and chocolate. Her greatest joy was having the family all together. Her Christmas and New Year's Eve parties were memorable events with preparations lasting many months prior to the holidays. She was shy and reserved and never wanted to be the center of attention, preferring instead to be in the background. She was always ready to lend assistance to others, and lovingly cared for her parents and grandparents, while raising her family. She was sensitive to others and tender to all. When most of her memory had faded, she still remembered her manners and expressed heartfelt thanks for every kindness offered her. Moselle served in many callings in the Church, including that of Relief Society President. Her fondest memory of service was when she and her husband worked together in the Ogden Temple. Our Mom had a strong testimony of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. We often heard her say that she could never remember a time when she questioned the truthfulness of the Gospel. She frequently expressed her thankfulness for eternal families. She reminded us regularly that we were "her's forever". Moselle is survived by one brother, David Young, Scottsdale, AZ; five children: Linda (Richard) Miller, Hooper; Kathy Galbraith, Layton; Mary Jane (Dannie) Wilson, Willard; Scott (Diane) Grange, Taylor; Randy (Lisa) Grange, Clinton; and a daughter-in-law, Leilani Grange, Roy. She is also survived by 21 grandchildren and 52 great-grandchildren. Heartfelt thanks goes to the staff of Crestwood Care Center and Stoneybrooke Assisted Living. She was cared for in a tender and loving way and we will always be grateful to them for their support. Also, we express appreciation to her special nurses, Julie and Dixie. Our Mom was a shining example of noble womanhood. Well done, beautiful mother and thank you for your unconditional love. Now more than ever, you are our guardian angel.
