Numa Alease Caudill Moxley  

July 31, 1937—June 7, 2025 (87 years)

Alease Moxley passed away peacefully surrounded by family at Grayson Rehabilitation and Healthcare Center after a brief illness.

Alease will be remembered for her faithfulness to her family, her church, and her friends.  She loved to send cards of encouragement and celebration to everyone she knew. She prepared and delivered cakes and meals to the sick and shut-in and enjoyed cooking for church and family get togethers. She had a commitment to helping others and bringing joy and support to those she met.

Alease was a member of Saddle Mountain Union Baptist Church for over 68 years. She and her husband, Bobby Moxley, served as deacon and deaconess until his passing in 1991. She taught a Sunday School class for over twenty years and served as treasurer and secretary until her health declined earlier this year. She attended church and Bible study where she met a host of new friends and went on church outings with her friends from the First Baptist Church.

Alease worked at Hanes Knitwear and later Sara Lee for over forty years until the plant closed.  She enjoyed visiting her co-workers and attending their monthly retiree breakfasts.

Alease was preceded in death by her parents, Estel and Elzora Caudill, her husband, Bobby Moxley, one sister, Linda Brooks, and a great-granddaughter.
