Sammy Moss, 82, of Covington, passed away August 20, 2013. Sammy was a dedicated employee of Southern Bell, for 31 years, before retiring at the age of 51. He was a faithful member and deacon of Porterdale Baptist Church, and was always willing to do anything the church needed of him. He always stayed busy around the house, and especially enjoyed working in his flower and vegetable gardens. Papa, as he was affectionately known to his grandchildren and great-grandchildren, was a loving husband to Nanny, a devoted father and grandfather, and a perfect example of how a Godly man should lead his family. He loved to cook for his family and friends, and would never let a soul go hungry! He had a great sense of humor and never met a stranger. Sammy was loved dearly, and will be missed by all who knew him. He was preceded in death by his precious daughter, Cindy Moss Savage; and his parents, Cloma and Stella (Craig) Moss.
Survivors include his best friend and loving wife of 63 years, Nevada C. Moss; sons, Gregg Moss of Covington, Derrick Moss of Mansfield; grandchildren, Jason Savage, Marie S. Webb, Aimee M. Lawson, Cassie M. Singleton, Katie Moss, Craig Moss, Justin Moss, Abigail Moss; 9 great-grandchildren; brother, Frank Moss of Covington; two nephews and one niece.
