Vic and Mosie lived in Lockport for most of their lives where she was mostly a stay-at-home Mom to their 4 children. She enjoyed spending time on the family boat, making baby clothes and blankets for the grandchildren, listening to Neil Diamond, and spending time with family and friends. After Vic's retirement they then spent their summers at their cottage, the "Green Bagel", on the lake in Lyndonville, NY and were snowbirds in Sarasota, FLA for many years until they moved back to NY permanently in 2016 to be closer to family. She was the co-owner of Brides Choice and worked at AM&A's in the jewelry department. She will be remembered by all who knew her for her sense of humor and her quick wit.

The family would like to extend a heartfelt thanks to the staff at Heritage Manor for their kind and compassionate care for Mosie over the last 9 years.

Visitation hours will be held May 16th 11 AM-1 PM with services following at 1 PM all in Prudden And Kandt Funeral Home, 242 Genesee St., Lockport.  In lieu of flowers, please make a donation in memory of Vic & Mosie Gardepe to any veterans or breast cancer charity of your choice.
