Jeneal Moosman

Loa, Utah – Jeneal Moosman, born November 9, 1943, in Circleville, Utah. Passed away April 14, 2024, in Mt. Pleasant, Utah

Goodbye everyone, guess I danced my last dance!

My life has been full of ups and downs, but I’ve had a good life. I loved working as an EMT for Sanpete and Wayne Counties for 17 years. I graduated from Utah State University in 2002 (at the age of 59!) with a bachelor’s degree in Family Human Development, Cum Laude. After graduation I had the privilege of working with special needs children and senior citizens.

My life’s work has included owning my own businesses, volunteering for the Wayne County Food Bank and the honor of working with seniors through the Meals on Wheels Program. Working with my sisters as a volunteer for the Fishlake National Forest in the Information Program was always the highlight of my summers.

I filled my life with raising horses, making quilts, camping, dancing whenever I got the opportunity, spending time in the mountains, catching the fall colors at just the right time, landing fish on plastic worms, and watching the sunset. I enjoyed growing gardens and seeing my flowers bloom.

Some of life’s many hardships is to bury our children and loved ones. My baby brother died at the age of 15; my little grandson passed at age 4; my stepson at age 28; my son at age 44; and my son-in-law. At the time of each of them passing, I felt my grief was insurmountable, but these losses teach us to be strong and we must go on.

I leave behind my most precious memories, my children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren, sisters, nieces and nephews, and many friends; my children: Tamera (Mitchell) Draper, Eddie (Shawna) Anderson, Wanda (Dwight, deceased) Oyler; 13 grandchildren; 12 great-grandchildren; my sisters: Velma Moosman, Rose Shepherd and LuJean Hunt.

Waiting to greet me on the other side: my son, Paul Anderson; my grandson, Justin Simons; my son-in-law, Dwight Oyler; my parents: LeRoy James and Guelda Rose Buckler Moosman; my siblings: DelRoy John and Virginia Moosman, Mary Elizabeth and Harvey Madson, Foster Valdean Moosman, George Moosman; and my brothers-in-law: Frank Shepherd, Duane Hunt, and Roy Daniels.

The family would like to thank the “Angels in Scrubs”. The help, compassion and love they have extended to our family cannot ever be fully acknowledged. These wonderful people made it possible for Mom to come home for as long as she was able and after that, they worked tirelessly to make Mom comfortable at the assisted living. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

Private family services were held, and burial was in the Loa Cemetery under the care of the Springer Turner Funeral Home of Richfield and Salina, Utah.
