Obituary

Dorothea "Dot" Moser, 91, passed peacefully in her home in Daytona Beach on March 1, 2015. Dot was born on July 13, 1923 in Brooklyn, NY, to Elmer and Agnes Janke. She grew up in Paterson, NJ and attended St. Mary's School. She later met and married her sweetheart, Andy "The Hat" Moser. Her husband, Andy, was deployed during WWII, where he fought at the Battle of Normandy Beachhead, and the Battle of Saint-Lo. Andy was the only member of his platoon whom survived. Dot worked as a type-setter for the Paterson Evening News, and had the pleasure of setting "WAR IS OVER" into the front page. Andy returned to their home in Wyckoff, NJ after sailing state-side on the Queen Mary. Dot then became pregnant with Andrew, the first of seven children. Due to Andy's frostbite, the family moved to the more agreeable climate of Daytona Beach, Florida. Andy worked as a car salesman at Lloyd Buick-Cadillac, and Dot worked full-time raising seven children, all of whom attended local Catholic Schools. Dot loved raising Nelson's Florida Roses, and her nearly innumerable grandchildren and great-grandchildren. She was also fond of writing poetry, and she was an avid NASCAR fan, with a special fondness for Dale Earnhardt, Jr. She is predeceased by her husband, Andrew, Sister, Carol Terpestra, and Brothers, Elmer and Burt Janke. She is survived by her sister, Bettye Erdman; her sons, Andrew (Isabelle) Moser, William Moser; her five daughters, Jean (Charles) Hathcox, Dolores (Mark) Kilpatric, Kathleen Williams, Mary Ann (Dana) White, and Bernadette (William) Holt. She leaves behind 16 grandchildren, 28 great-grandchildren, and 5 great-great grandchildren, along with a legacy of faith, love, dear friends and family. Funeral Service will be held Wednesday, March 4, 2015 at 3:30pm in the Chapel at Cardwell Baggett & Summers Funeral Home. Interment will follow in Shady Rest Cemetery, Holly Hill, FL. In-lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Volusia Surf Lifesaving Association (VSLA.org) or AMVETS at 872 N. Nova Rd in Daytona Beach. Condolences may be shared with the family at
