Cecile Ann Boos

On Saturday, February 19, 2022, Cecile Ann Boos, a loving wife, mother, and great-grandmother returned to her Creator at the age of 88.  She was born on February 3, 1934 in Pittsburgh Pennsylvania.  She was the daughter of Walter Mockett and Eleanor Jane Welty.  She was married and raised one daughter Pauline (Wilber).

Her father, mother, sister, one granddaughter, and husband preceded Cecile in death.  She is survived by two brothers Bruce and Walter Mockett, her daughter Pauline, four grandchildren, twenty-one great grandchildren, and one great-great-granddaughter.

She was an interior designer. She and her husband Edward, owned an interior design shop and gift store.  They served a mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints for 18 months in the Carolina’s.  Everyone knew her favorite color was aqua.

Cecile was very witty, full of mischief, and always had a twinkle in her eye. She also enjoyed the opportunity to care for several foster children.  

Cecile had a passion for painting with oils. She also loved birds and enjoyed having them fed near her window so she could watch them while snuggling with her cats.  She loved classical and spiritual music.  Most of all she loved her family.

A celebration of her life will be held on Saturday, March 5, 2022 at The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints in Ava, MO.  The viewing will begin at 10:00 AM, followed by the memorial service at 11:00 AM.  All are invited to join with the family to celebrate her life and memory.

All arrangements are under the care of Ava Family Funeral Home.
