Bio
Copied with permission: Shawnee News-Star: October 20, 2006: Clarence William Mosman, 84, passed into the legacy of "The Greatest Generation" on Wednesday, Oct. 18, 2006. He was a native Texan and one of 14 children from a farming family during the Great Depression of the 1930s. Clarence served the country he loved in the North Atlantic and Pacific Theaters during World War II as a Chief Petty Officer aboard the aircraft carrier CVE-31 USS Prince William. His name is engraved in the World War II Memorial at Resthaven Cemetery east of Shawnee. Upon returning from the war, he married Faye Marie Cannon of Wanette on April 22, 1946. They had three children together. During the next 15 years, the young family border hopped between Texas and Oklahoma. In 1961 they settled in Shawnee. Clarence established a career in meat cutting and market management. After retiring in 1987 he worked part time, until the age of 82, for Pratt Foods and other meat markets. He worked for Pratt Foods in Oklahoma for more than 40 years and was one of the original drivers of the Shawnee Medical Center Clinic shuttle. Clarence was a member of St. Benedict Catholic Church and the Knights of Columbus. His friends and fellow Knights will testify he always had a good joke to share and that their breakfast attendance was always better when he made the biscuits. He liked vintage cars and had a few of his own through the years. He also enjoyed Marty Robbins and Floyd Cramer music and always had time for a good John Wayne or Jimmy Stewart western. In addition to his wife, Faye Marie, of 60 years he is survived by his two sons and daughters-in-law, Stephen and Kathy Mosman and their children Lydia and Jess of Burlington, Vt.; Brad and Beverly Mosman and their children, Rachel, Sarah, Joel and Hannah of Shawnee; one daughter and son-in-law, Theresa and Walter Seyffert of Shawnee; three sisters and one brother, Delores, Aleene, Annabelle and Raymond all of Texas; numerous nieces and nephews. Clarence was preceded in death by his parents, Peter Paul and Mary Elizabeth Mosman formerly of Gainesville, Texas; nine brothers and sisters. A Rosary will be held 10:30 a.m. Saturday. October 21, at St. Benedict Catholic Church with Mass of Christian Burial at 11 am. Burial will follow at Calvary Cemetery under the direction of Walker Funeral Service. He was idolized by his grandchildren and was one of a kind. He is Loved beyond measure. We'll see you soon, Daddy.
