Obituary For Gloria Mosley Daniels

Gloria Deloris Mosley Daniels, the seventh child of thirteen born to the late Lula Mae Boone Mosley and the late Henry Mosley was born in Steelton, Pennsylvania.

“Glo” as she was affectionately called by family and friends, received her formal education in the Steelton Public Schools.

Her Christian journey began in her youth at Beulah Baptist Church in Steelton under the late Reverend Louis Willoughby. Later in her Christian journey, she united with Christ Assembly Fellowship in the home of her son, Earl and also Locust Lane Fellowship in Edgemont, Pennsylvania. The Mosley family was one of the early founding families of Beulah Baptist Church.

Gloria married James Daniels on July 7, 1976 in Baltimore, Maryland. To this union, they were blessed with one daughter, Inez. James' love also embraced seven additional children, Delores, Eugene, Johnnie, Caroline, Donald, Earl, and Dale.

During her working career, she was employed by the Cigar Factory in Steelton. Notably she served as a Nurses Aide both at the former Leaders Nursing Home with more than twenty years of service and later at the former Dauphin County Nursing Home retiring with more than 30 years of service. She developed a lasting friendship with her former supervisor, Frances Sheets and have remained longtime friends.

Gloria was a very quiet, humble person who loved studying God’s Word and attending church services. She was very, very devoted to her children and five generations of grandchildren. Many called her ‘blessed’ at the age of 92, while at the home of her sister Mary for ten years, she could be found humming songs of the heart, cooking and baking for her family, and maintaining a daily independent lifestyle.

In the last few years her health began to change as she was in and out of the hospital. She would tell her family and friends that she wasn’t afraid of dying, “God has been good to me!!! “Mom”, “Grandmom”, “Glo” was grateful for all those who were her caregivers; son, Johnnie Mosley, grandson, Jason Mosley, granddaughter Teia Miller Chism and great-granddaughter Jasmine Cobb.

At the age of 92 years, Gloria Deloris Mosley Daniels transitioned in the morning hours on Wednesday, April 16, 2025 surrounded by her loving son and daughter-in-law who were also her caregivers, Earl and Billie Jo with whom she lived since October 2024. In addition to her parents and husband, she was preceded in death by her siblings Henry, Thomas, Wilson, Robert, Andrew, Samuel, James, Lillie Mae (Mosley Vennie) Murray, Agnes Priscilla (Mosley) Davis; children Caroline Mosley, Delores (Mosley) Sellers, and Dale R. Mosley.

Gloria leaves to cherish precious memories, sons, Eugene, Johnnie, Donald and Earl Mosley (Billie Jo), all of Harrisburg, PA; daughter, Inez Hawkins (John) of Woodbridge, Virginia; siblings, Minister Christine Young (Ellis), Mary E. Thompson and Beatrice Harrison; one brother-in-law, Charles Daniels (Louise); 19 grandchildren; 44 great-grandchildren; 32 great-great grandchildren; a host of nieces, nephews, other relatives and friends.

To my spiritual daughter, Rev. Inez Hawkins, and this precious family... Higher Praise offers sincere condolences and much prayer as you journey through these days. Just know that Ms. Gloria was a mighty woman of GOD, admired by our church family though many only met her once but the love given through you, my sheep and our sister in Christ, was overwhelming, and I believe your mom passed that along. God was seen through her strength and walk. May angels be stationed around all of you and may the presence of the Holy Spirit keep you safe and always filled with Joy, even now. She's well... and she has heard WELL DONE. Love you all.

Pastor Catherine T Parker, HPCC

To the Mosley & Daniels families, words cannot truly express my deep condolences on the passing of Momma Gloria. Growing up on North 17th Street my family (Buchanan) and the Mosleys were not just neighbors but became good friends. To Eugene, Johnnie, Donald, Earl and my best friend Inez, your beloved Momma Gloria was like a second Mom to me. Her devotion and love of God, family, friends and neighbors was unconditional. I will treasure the many heart felt chats and the words of wisdom Momma Gloria shared with me over many years. She is resting and smiling in heaven now. May God comfort your blessed family. Peace be still.💕💕💕❤️❤️❤️

My family and I are paying tribute to the memory of Mama Gloria, my mother's last surviving grandparent, siblings, and the matriarch of our Mosley branch. Her passing marks the end of an era, yet her legacy persists through the numerous lives she touched. Mama Gloria was a pillar of strength, recognized for her forthright demeanor, unwavering dedication to family, and generous spirit. I will always cherish memories of her delectable seafood deviled eggs, hearty breakfasts, and festive Christmas dinners. As we bid farewell, we find solace in knowing that she is no longer suffering and is now rejoicing with her heavenly father. Her influence on our family will never be forgotten, and we are grateful for the time we shared with her. I will deeply miss Great Grandma Gloria, also affectionately known as Aunt Glo your great great grand son Darius Mosley from formerly from Harrisburg now a resident of Birmingham alabama I love you Grandma gloria

It is with our deepest sympathy to offer our sincere condolences to the Mosley family for the lost of your loving Mother, Mrs. Gloria Mosley Daniel's.

I still remember those great days we all had as friends and neighbors on old North 17th Street in Harrisburg.

We affectionately called her Moma Mosley and she was a devoted and strict Mother.

I can reflect on some memories when I use to tease Dale and Moma Mosley let me have it. I didn't tease Dale anymore. Earl and I became the best of friends and we kind of adopted Inez as our baby sister. Overall, we were a very happy group of neighbors and Moma Mosey was such a part of those loving memories.

So let us not despair but embrace and celebrate her beautiful life for now she is in the grace of the Lord's hands.

God bless you all and the beautiful life of Moma Mosley.

Love,
