Jacqueline Gordon Moser

Jacqueline (Jackie) Gordon Moser, 94, of Louisville, KY went to be with her Heavenly Father on Monday, September 14, 2020. She was born to the late Jeff Gordon and Ida Busbee Gordon on November 13, 1925 in "The City of Roses," Thomasville, GA, but grew up in Tampa, FL graduating from Jefferson High School in 1943. Jackie is survived by her loving husband of 72 years, Alvin (Al) Moser, a retired clergyman and college professor; an older sister, Martha Stelma of Thurmond, NC; a sister-in-law, Maysel Moser of Dover, OH; 11 nieces and nephews, including Dawn Butts (Jimmy) of Baton Rouge, LA, Ronnie Hutto (Sue) of Thurmond, NC, Stephen Moser (Karen) of Louisville, KY, Paul Moser (Connie) of Lanesville, IN, Robert Moser (Cindy) of Louisville, KY, Marcia Jaggers (Van) of Louisville, KY, Judy Coleman (Peter) of Chicago, IL, James Moser (Bonnie) of Dover, OH, Randy Moser (Vera) of Dover, OH, Dan Moser (Cheri) of Fort Myers, FL, and Gaye Rogers (Steve) of Columbus, OH, plus more than 50 great and great-great nieces and nephews.
Jackie pursued a diverse and enjoyable career in healthcare as she and her life-long partner dedicated their lives to Jesus Christ for Christian ministry, wherever He would lead. She first attended Nyack (NY) College where she met her husband in 1946, marrying in 1948 and graduating with training in Bible and religion in 1949. She then pursued nurses training at Booth Memorial Hospital in NYC, becoming a licensed practical nurse (LPN) in 1950. In 1960, she attended Wheaton College where her husband was a member of the faculty, earning a B.S. degree in Biology. Next, she studied cytology and cytogenetics (early studies in the structure of DNA) at Michael Reese and Mount Sinai hospitals in Chicago while working in pathology at Lutheran General Hospital.
In 1974, she and her husband went to Canberra, Australia for two years where she led the establishment of the first cytogenetics unit at Wooden Valley Hospital. Upon return to the U.S., Jackie enrolled in the School of Nursing at North Georgia College in Dahlonega, GA, where she earned her registered nurse (R.N.) degree. Following a year of public school teaching in Rockland County, NY she and her husband returned to Tampa, FL in 1980 where she worked in cytology and dialysis nursing until they retired in central Florida. In September 2019, they moved to Louisville, KY.
While Jackie was loved and appreciated by so many of her patients, she was also adored by her husband, her family and numerous friends wherever she lived. She was notorious for her gregarious zest for life and most assuredly for her dedicated service to her God and needy people everywhere.
