Elizabeth A. Moser

Elizabeth A. Moser, 98 (aka; Betty Ann) passed away on February 17, 2022. She is preceded in death by her dedicated husband, Norbert F. Moser; loving mother to Susan E. Moser-Moritz (Michael Moritz), proud Nana to Victor C. Volich, James N. Volich and John M. Moritz, great-Nana to Troy, Lilly and Makenna Volich. Mom was a long-time member of the St. Francis Borgia Catholic Women's Club, Women of the Moose (River Grove Chapter) and Triton College Women's Club. She volunteered tirelessly to the St. Francis Borgia Rummage Sale. Along with her friends, Mrs. Rosemary Coker, Mrs. Mary Ellen O'Brien and Sister Patrick Quinn, they began the St. Francis Borgia School Library. Being a retired librarian, Betty Ann was an avid reader. She'd say, “there's no such thing as a bad book”. Her favorite authors were Nora Roberts, James Patterson, and Ian Fleming to name a few. She read every Harry Potter novel. One of those novels would only take her 2 days to complete because once she started a book, she couldn't put it down. Betty Ann shied away from Stephen King novels because it freaked her out. Between my mother and father, the laughter in our home was endless. I gave them the nicknames of Abbot & Costello because they were two peas in a pod. Her belly laugh came when watching British Comedy. Every Saturday night we'd watch Monty Python's Flying Circus, Benny Hill, Keeping Up Appearances and Fawlty Towers. Mr. Bean however was not her cup of tea. Favorite hobbies included crochet, latch hook, crossword puzzles, fishing, reading road maps, playing cards with her friends, family genealogy, visiting cemeteries with her daughter and Goodwill crawls on a Friday afternoon. NASCAR's racing season is what mom looked forward to every February which began with the Daytona 500; she'd wear her #24 gear for her favorite driver Jeff Gordon. Feeding the stray cats in her neighborhood was very important to her. Three times a day she'd place a fresh bowl of cool water out for them along with a good helping of canned and dry food; they ate like kings! She loved them all so much and gave them nicknames; Stud, Boots, Joker, Jorge, Daisy and Fritz. Mom had an incredibly positive attitude and her laugh was infectious. I know that she and Dad are together again laughing, telling off-color jokes making the ladies blush in the “Big Roundup In The Sky”. Mama, you are my best friend and I miss our long talks on the phone. Until we meet again, please watch over your family and give us a kick in the butt if one of us need it to steer us straight. I love you Mom - Susan
