Charles
Moss
February 25, 1929 – January 15, 2022
Charles Moss, 92, of Zionsville, Indiana, passed away peacefully to his heavenly home on January 15, 2022. He was born on February 25, 1929, in Mosstown, Kentucky, to Nobel and Alberta Shemwell Moss. Charles married his sweetheart, Cora Ruth Powell, on August 24, 1948. They made their home in Elkhart, Indiana, where he and Cora raised five children and where Charles was employed as a printer at Barger Packaging Company. For over 40 years, they were faithful members of McCoy Memorial Baptist Church where Charles served in various capacities including deacon and trustee. Charles was known for his loving kindness, friendliness and winning smile. Even his eyes smiled.
He enjoyed golf, gardening, and grandkids. He was a man who prayed diligently for his family, his friends, and his world. Following retirement he and Cora moved back to LaCenter, Kentucky. He continued in service to his Lord leading a prayer ministry at First Baptist Church of LaCenter. In 2014 they moved to Zionsville, Indiana, to be closer to family. Charles's godly example to his children came from his deep love for his Savior, Jesus Christ, making him a guide, friend, helper, and encourager.
He was a wonderful father to Janet (Thomas) Little of Goshen, Indiana, Stephen who preceded him in death, Randall (Julie) of Zionsville, Indiana, C. Brent (Debbie) of Edmund, Oklahoma, and David (Debbie) of Pearland, Texas. He is survived by a sister Joyce Smith and brother Jim Purcell. Two sisters, Jean Purcell and Kay De Smet, preceded him in death. He was a much beloved "Gramps" to 17 grandchildren, 29 great-grandchildren, and 1 great-great grandchild. He loved to sing silly songs to them, play games with them, and take them fishing and golfing. He enjoyed cheering them on in sporting events. He was cherished by his family who adored him. Charles was a happy, positive person who saw only the best in everyone, and who was loved by all who were blessed to know him.
