Mosley is a nail technician at A Divine Touch in Mocksville.
This former truck driver has an optimistic attitude and a deep appreciation for life. "You're not promised tomorrow, you just do what you got to do today and keep getting it."
In April 2004 Mosley was first diagnosed with breast cancer.
She underwent a double mastectomy with trans flap reconstruction in June of that same year.
Nine more surgeries were necessary after Mosley's reconstruction due to complications that followed.
Mosley has received numerous kinds of chemotherapy and has also received weeks of radiation. But she smiles bright enough to light up a room as she says, "August 2nd will be my last chemo, yes ma’am."
Mosley receives treatments at her oncologist's office in Davidson County where she is also involved with Relay For Life. "I help with it over there."
Mosley and her husband, Jerry, have been together for 15 years. "We've not had our first argument over anything," Mosley beams.
The couple moved to Rowan County three years ago after living in Davie for nine years. They bought a house that had been in her family since 1958 and took on the task of remodeling it.
Mosley comes from a long line of truck drivers ... subscribe to the Davie County Enterprise Record, P.O. Box 99, Mocksville, N.C. 27028.
