Bonner Magness, Rev. Erwin Hiltscher and Rev. Ewell Humphreys officiating. Private interment will follow. Rev. Moseley died Sunday, August 3, 2008 in a Tyler hospice center. Kelly Green Moseley was born to Marion Matthew and Orene Moseley on July 11, 1920, in Van Zandt County, Texas. He went home to be with the Lord on August 3, 2008. He attended elementary and junior high schools in the Primrose Community Van High School, Van, Texas, and completed his high school education at Tyler High School in Tyler, Texas. Kelly married Ava Nell Martin in 1938, and born to them were Carole Ann , Rita Gayle, Perry Allen, and Vicki Lynn. He was employed by the Texas Highway Department and Roy Pair Buick Company in Tyler. Kelly enlisted in the U.S. Navy during WWII, and served aboard the USS Lassen, an ammunition supply ship servicing combat ships at sea. It was on that ship that he accepted Christ as his Savior, and after being honorably discharged from the Navy in December, 1945, he resumed his employment at the Roy Pair Buick Company in Tyler. When the Lord called him to preach in 1949 he and his wife, Nell, were members of Hillcrest Baptist Church in Tyler. He enrolled in Tyler Junior College and was called to be pastor of Damascus Baptist Church, Lindale. Following Tyler Junior College and during his pastorate at Damascus, Kelly attended Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary in Ft. Worth. During his fifty years of ministry, his pastorates included Damascus Baptist Church, Lindale, Texas; First Baptist Church, Damon, Texas; Calvary Baptist Church, Freeport, Texas; Carlisle Baptist Church, Price, Texas; Broadview Baptist Church, Fort Worth, Texas; First Baptist Church, Eads, Colorado; Sioux Valley Baptist Church, Sioux Falls, South Dakota, and Yankton Baptist Church, Yankton, South Dakota. During Kelly's ministry at Yankton, South Dakota, health problems determined that it would be necessary to relocate to a warmer climate. Moving to Ft. Worth, he joined his son-in-law, Anthony Wommack in one of his corporations developing a public relations department. While in this employ Kelly had many opportunities to "supply preach" in the greater Dallas-Fort Worth area, as well as returning to the Northern Plains area to conduct revivals, representing the Home Mission Board of the Southern Baptist Convention. Kelly's wife, Nell, was called home to be with the Lord in January, 1983. Kelly entered full time evangelism and moved to Tyler where the Lord provided him with another helpmate, Bea Hendley, who passed away in 1988. Kelly married his present helpmate, Florine Hutchens, on October 1, 1988, and she has served with him in several interim pastorates. Kelly was preceded in death by his parents Marion Matthew Moseley and Orene Moseley, a daughter, Rita Wommack, and wives Ava Nell Martin Moseley and Bea Hendley Moseley. He is survived by his wife, Florine McDowell Hutchens Moseley of Lindale; son Perry Allen Moseley of Haltom City; and daughters Carole Ann Dailey, Gladewater and Vicki Lynn Smith, Mesquite; eight grandchildren; thirteen great-grandchildren; and three great-great grandchildren. The family will receive friends Tuesday evening from 6:00 P.M. to 8:00 P.M. at the Caudle-Rutledge Funeral Home in Lindale.
