She opens her arms to those who are poor. She reaches out her hands to those who are needy.”

Sunrise | April 15, 1936 ~ Sunset | March 29, 2026

With hearts full of gratitude, we gather to celebrate the life of our beloved Frances A. Moss, who was called home peacefully in her sleep on March 29, 2026. The Lord saw fit to lay His faithful servant down to rest, and though our hearts ache, we rejoice knowing she is wrapped in the arms of her Savior.

Ms. Moss was born the daughter of the late Odell Moss Sr. and Lurene Jones Moss. Raised up with roots that ran deep and a spirit that ran deeper. She came into this world already destined to feed people in body, in spirit, and in love.

Ms. Moss, walked across the stage as a proud member of the Westside High School Class of 1955, and she never lost her Ram Pride. Long after graduation, you could find her in the stands, louder than anybody’s grandmother had any business being, hollering and clapping whether it was football, basketball, or any other sport with a scoreboard. It didn’t matter the season or the score. Ms. Moss just loved showing up, and showing up was something she did better than most even though she never held a Driver’s License herself.
She gave thirty-plus years of faithful, honest work to Owens-Corning Fiber Glass, where she retired with her head held high and her work ethic intact. Her real ministry was never on a clock though.

Ms. Moss was a devoted and active member of Emmanuel United Methodist Church, and if you knew her, you knew that church wasn’t just where she went on Sunday. She proudly served as President of the United Methodist Women and the Golden Ages, pouring herself into both with the kind of dedication that doesn’t need a spotlight or go unnoticed.
But perhaps her greatest labor of love was the ministry she founded herself, the Feed the Hungry Ministry. She saw a need, she rolled up her sleeves, and she got to work. You could always find her in the kitchen. And for years, she stood faithfully on the culinary staff at Emmanuel, feeding bodies the same way the word fed souls, until her health would no longer allow it. Even then, the spirit behind that ministry never wavered.

If you have ever sat at her table, you know that there is no explaining it to someone who wasn’t there. The warmth of that kitchen, the smell of something good on the stove, the feeling that you were wanted and welcomed, there was nothing like it. Nobody left hungry. Nobody left unloved. That table was her pulpit, and love was her sermon.
Ms. Moss was a fixture in Anderson, South Carolina known, recognized, and cherished. She was the kind of woman that a whole community claims as their own, because she gave herself freely to anyone who needed her.

Ms. Moss leaves behind a legacy wrapped in the faces of those who loved her most. Daughters, Patricia Jackson, Deborah Davis, and Ethel (Garvin) Robertson. Sons, Hubert Dell Davis and Andre (Crystal) Davis. Grandchildren, Anthony (Stephanie) Johnson, Chris (Ganansha) Davis, Jamar Martin, Demetrius Robertson, Helen Jackson, Kanisha Davis, Lamar Strong, Kyia Chandler, Rashad Davis, Nytavious Tate, Temeakia Martin, Benny Davis Jr., Ariana Davis, 19 Great-Grandchildren and 6 Great-Great-Grandchildren. She is also survived by her brother, Odell Moss Jr and a host of Family and Friends who will truly miss her.

She was preceded in death by
her beloved parents, her sister Doris Freeman, and her brothers Nathaniel Moss and Freddie Moss, a reunion in heaven we can only imagine.

More than anything she ever cooked, more than any meeting she ever chaired, more than any game she ever cheered at Ms. Moss poured herself into the people she loved. That love was her legacy. It lives in every child she raised, every hungry person she fed, every soul she made feel seen. We will carry it with us every single day.
Go rest, Mama. Go rest, Grandma. You gave us everything you had and then some, until we meet again.

The funeral service will be held at 12:00 p.m. on Thursday, April 2, 2026 at Emmanuel United Methodist Church.  The interment will follow at Anderson Memorial Gardens.  Public viewing will be held Wednesday from 1:00 p.m. - 6:00 p.m. at the funeral home.

The family is at the home, 421 Greenmeadow Circle, Anderson, SC.
