Mozella Dixon Marshall

November 22, 1942 - November 13, 2020

~ Obituary ~ Mozella Marshall, daughter of Odell and James Dixon, was born on November 22, 1942 and raised in Washington, North Carolina. She was the youngest daughter of six children. After many years of making us laugh, bringing us joy, and sharing her love, our beloved Mother accepted the angel’s invitation to join our Lord in Paradise on Friday November 13, 2020 in her home in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. As a result, our hearts are a little less brighter, but we know the Heavens are filled with extra doses of love, joy, and peace. Mozella’s education began at Washington Public Schools and ended in Washington, DC where she then blossomed into a determined young lady to pursuing a career as a nurse and ended a career as a correctional officer for the U.S. Department of Justice before retiring in 1997. Mozella had been a member of Morning Star Missionary Baptist Church since moving to Winston-Salem in 2006. She always had a passion for children. She was a part of the Golden Ages Ministry, Good News Ministry, Flag Ministry, and a Sunday School teacher. In her spare time, she enjoyed bowling, cooking, sewing, watching television, reading books, traveling, crocheting, and attending meetings with the Happy Hill Garden Senior Citizens Club. Mozella was preceded in death by her parents; brothers, Gadis Dixon, James Earl Dixon, Willie Dixon; sister, Louise Gaye; and her son, Dino Marshall. Her wisdom and teachable memories will always be cherished by her 4 daughters, Bridgette Dash (Ronald) of Willingboro, NJ, Felecia Marshall of Winston-Salem, NC, Greanna Marshall of Winston Salem, NC, and Gladys (Leo) Turner of Bensalem, ; and son, Gregory Marshall; brother, William Dixon (Claretha) of Greenville, NC; grandchildren, Ronald II, Nicholas, Anthony, Shemeika, Qiana (Marquis), Arisha, Braden; and 14 great grandchildren; 2 great nieces; along with a host of nieces and nephews; dearest friends Cathey and Jack Fisher and Tonya Davis in addition to many relatives and friends.
