Lee & Betty Mossman Memorial Scholarship
Lee and Betty Mossman lived wonderful, long lives, passing away in 2025 at the ages of 93 and 90. In their final four years, they resided in an assisted living facility and truly appreciated the caring attention they received from the many young individuals who worked there. We are profoundly grateful for every person who touched their lives. To pay tribute to Lee and Betty and honor the invaluable work of those dedicated caregivers, we are establishing a scholarship for students who have experience working with the elderly in any type of care facility. This includes: hospitals, assisted living, long-term care, and memory care facilities.
