Joan Gale Mossman, 83, of New Port Richey, Florida, passed away on November 5th, 2022.

Joan graduated from North High school and was a proud North High Polar Bear. She worked at Nationwide Insurance Company as a file clerk. She married at a young age and raised three children. She lived most of her life in Columbus, Ohio. Her life revolved around being a mother, wife, and devoted Christian. She was especially fond of her church home, Clinton Heights Lutheran Church, where she started attending as a young adult and continued attending for many years, making many lifelong friendships.

Joan overcame many challenges in life but she never let that hold her back from her desire to be a wife and mother. She was an inspiration to many. She was a joy to those who spent time with her and was loved by all. She was always ready with a kind word and loved to laugh.

She is survived by her sister Margie (Michael) Clements; children Pamela Mason and David Mossman; daughter-in-law Susan Mossman; grandchildren Joshua Mossman, Drew Mossman, TJ Mossman, and Pete Mossman; great-grandchildren Jacob Mossman, Julia Mossman, Jericho Mossman, Ezra Mossman, and Mae Mossman. She was preceded in death by her former husband Jerry Mossman; sons Mark Mossman and Michael Mossman; parents William and Betty Autenrieth; as well as her brother Larry Autenrieth.

There will be a small memorial service for Joan’s family and her friends at Clinton Heights Lutheran Church. Joan is laid to rest under a living oak tree at East Elfers Cemetery in New Port Richey, Florida.
