Lisa Tillery Mosley

Lisa Tillery Mosley entered into eternal rest and joy in the arms of her Savior on Saturday, July 8th at the age of 61. After a years-long battle with dementia and other health challenges, Lisa passed at her home in Phenix City next to her devoted husband, John. Lisa was born March 16, 1962, to Marvin and Annette Tillery at Jackson Hospital in Montgomery Alabama, and had two older siblings; Gary and Susan. Lisa was a Montgomery resident for most of her life and graduated from Robert E. Lee High School in 1980. On October 25, 1986, Lisa married John Mosley, a young man she had known since childhood. Lisa graduated Summa Cum Laude from Massey-Draughns Business College with her Bachelor’s Degree in paralegal studies. She then worked as admitting director at Saint Margaret’s Hospital. Inspired by her husband's experiences in the field, she pursued and earned her EMS certification, eventually going to work full-time with Care Ambulance putting into practice her training, but also her caring and serving nature. As a military wife and mom of five, Lisa had no time to be idle. Embracing this calling with fervor, Lisa worked many different jobs over the years to help provide for her family. Of the different jobs she held, she was particularly proud of her job cleaning Capitol Heights Baptist Church. She would go up to the church and vacuum, dust, and scrub, while her children explored the building, making memories, unaware that their mother worked cleaning so that they would not have to miss out on any camps or activities throughout the year. Lisa loved to be with her husband and children, and particularly enjoyed the outdoors, especially camping with the family, or sitting outside, while dad made steaks on the grill. Lisa’s children remember her as a very caring person, always willing to help people and even animals in need. Watching anyone or anything suffer was something that Lisa just could not do. She was fiercely devoted to her “dear sweet John” and remained devoted to and enamored with him even throughout her illness. Lisa also loved music. (Southern gospel, old country, big band, and just about anything that she could move and clap to, which she did, even near the end of her life.) Everything from her red nail polish, all the gold rings she loved to wear, to the big smile and even bigger heart that came with it set Lisa apart in the hearts and minds of those who knew her as one-of-kind. She will be celebrated, yet deeply missed by her friends and family. Lisa is survived by her husband, John; five children, daughter, Stephanie Alsworth and husband, Kenny Alsworth, daughter, Jessica Payton and husband, Michael Payton, son, Joshua Mosley and wife Kayla Mosley, daughter, Brittany Kendrick, and husband Jeremy Kendrick, son, Jonathan Mosley, and wife Morgan Mosley; fourteen grandchildren, Tyler (and wife, Nicole), Dylan (and wife, Hailey) , Shelby, Bailey, Eli, Nate, Jordyn, Mackenzie, Kimblerly, Elizabeth, Ethan, Jaxon, Miranda, Melody; two great-grandchildren, Grayson and Chase; mother, Annette and siblings, Gary and Susan. Lisa was preceded in death by her father, Marvin Tillery. A memorial service celebrating the life of Lisa will be held at Capitol Heights Baptist Church in Montgomery Alabama on Thursday, July 13, 2023 at 4:00 PM. The family asks that in lieu of flowers, you would consider donating to Columbus Hospice, who gently and expertly helped care for Lisa in her final months of life.
