Donald Dean Moseley

Don Moseley age 89 of Shawnee, passed away at his home on December 17, 2024. Donald Dean Moseley was born on August 9, 1935 in Sayre, Oklahoma to Clyde Moseley Sr. and Lucille Moseley (Coggins). His family made their way to California in search of work, settling in the Wasco, CA area where he met a young girl who also had Oklahoma roots, Carmen Louise Stinnett. Don and Carmen were married on February 9, 1953. They lived in Stockton, California until relocating to Shawnee, OK in 1977. Don was a gifted mechanic and tire technician. He often boasted that he changed the biggest tires in the world, down to the smallest. Don ran a tire operation for a number of years offering mobile tire change and repair for earth movers, and roadside semi tire changes as well. He was proud to tackle the big jobs himself and when offered help he’d reply “all I need is my truck.” Don ran several shops in Shawnee where he offered a variety of maintenance and repair work, primarily Don’s Automotive which he ran with his son Rick. After retiring from the automotive business, he started remodeling houses which he did well into his 70s. No matter what he did, Don felt great satisfaction from working with his own two hands and putting in an honest day’s work. In his spare time, he worked on his own projects including a 1970 Chevelle he bought new off the show room floor and kept in pristine condition for years. He was full of pride when it came to his grandkids Eric and Tiffany, and loved being a Poppy to his 4 great grandkids which he adored. Don was a beloved father and grandfather who will be dearly missed by all who knew and loved him. Don was preceded in death by his parents Clyde Moseley Sr. and Lucille Moseley, his two brothers and three sisters, and his wife Carmen Moseley. He is survived by his children, Rick Moseley and Sandra Masters of Shawnee, Oklahoma. His sister Cheryl Cordova of Dewey, Arizona. His grandchildren, Eric Aman, Tiffany Aman-Pringle and husband Aron. His great grandchildren Halee Pringle-Hogan and husband Michael, Devin Pringle, Garrit Aman, and Aurianna Aman. Don’s family will gather to remember him with private services.
