Obituary from

Hazel L. (Eade) Mosse, 101, a life long resident of Peabody, MA died Saturday, November 15, 2014 at the Blueberry Hill Nursing Home in Beverly after a short illness. She was the wife of the late G. Edward Mosse. She was born in Peabody on August 4, 1913, the daughter of the late John J. and Elizabeth (Norwood) Mosse and was a graduate of Peabody High School in 1931. She later graduated in the first class to receive a teaching degree from Salem State Teachers College in 1935.

Hazel taught for more than 30 years in Peabody most of which was spent at the Samuel Brown School in South Peabody prior to her retirement 40 years ago. She had been very active in the Daughters of Eastern Star at the Radiant Chapter in Lynn where she was a past Matron and also served as secretary for many years. She had served as a Deputy Grand Matron for the Massachusetts Order of Eastern Star. In her later years, she became a devoted bingo player and had been very active with the Senior Citizens of Peabody.

She enjoyed spending time at the family summer cottage in “Sabino”, a summer community on New Meadows River in West Bath, Maine. Her greatest joy in life was her family to which she was completely devoted. She particularly enjoyed bragging at anything her grandchildren were involved and spent many days and nights at cold hockey rinks, baseball diamonds and swim meets.

Her grandson, Adam Bailey tweeted, “today, the world lost an angel. Thank you for all you did for me over the years. I will love and miss you every day. RIP Mini. And her grandson Michael Mosse tweeted, “Such a sad yet joyous day, as my grandmother passed away at 101 years old. An amazing woman: so loving, giving and kind. Always concerned with others more than herself. Our loss is truly Heavens gain. We will miss her deeply but will always remember her fondly, and often with a chuckle. May

God be with this sweet woman.
