Lottie Bennett Moss

Lottie Bennett Moss, 84, of the Vandola community went home to be with her Heavenly Father on Tuesday, June 24, 2025. Lottie was born in Pittsylvania County, VA on March 2, 1941, daughter of the late Lester Earle Bennett and Elizabeth Young Bennett. On June 17, 1960, she married the love of her life, Willie “Ham” Moss, who survives. They lived and raised their family on Vandola Road and recently celebrated their 65th wedding anniversary. Lottie graduated from Whitmell High School. She worked at Dan River Mills for 47 years, serving as a lab technician until her retirement. She was a respected and valued employee throughout her tenure. Lottie was a devoted member of Westover Hills Pentecostal Holiness Church, serving as the church bookkeeper for many years. She was also an early and active member of the Westover Ruritan Club. Lottie was known throughout the community for her excellent baking skills – chocolate meringue and pecan pies were some of her specialties, along with lemon pound cake and strawberry jam. She also loved gardening (and canning and freezing her harvest) and watching hummingbirds. More than anything she loved spending time with her husband and family, especially her great grandson in her later years. Survivors also include a son, Hampton Moss (Tess), a daughter, Tammy M. Finley (Eric), a sister, Nell B. Slayton, two grandchildren, Ashley Moss and Shannon M. Tavoloni (Donald), and her beloved great grandson, Aidan Tavoloni. She is also survived by her very close Moss sisters-in-law, Frances “Boots” M. Taylor, Brenda M. Gammon, Louise Moss and Vickie Moss. Lottie was predeceased by four sisters, Doris B. Norcutt, Lucille B. Perkins, Jeanette B. Pruitt, Alma B. Joseph, and four brothers, L.D., Bill, Harold, and Otey Bennett. Funeral services will be held on Saturday, June 28, 2025, at 11:00 AM at the Wrenn-Yeatts Westover Chapel with Pastor Stephen White officiating. Interment will follow at Danville Memorial Gardens. The family will receive friends for one hour prior to the service on Saturday. In lieu of flowers, the family suggests that memorial donations be made to the Bachelors Hall Fire & Rescue, 1301 Berry Hill Road, Danville, VA 24541. A special thank you is given to Nurse Jane Haynes for her kind care of Lottie during her illness these past few years. Wrenn-Yeatts Westover Chapel is serving the Moss family.
