Dorita Michelle Mosley, “Chelle”, “TT”, “Me’she”, was born August 13, 1965 in Union City, Tennessee to the late Henry Mitchell Bass and Doris Jean (Mitchell) Bass.

She was a 1983 graduate of Union City High School. She attended Murray State University where she earned her Bachelor of Science in Early Childhood Education in the year of 1988. On December 10, 1988, she wed James (Jimmy) Mosley of Union City, Tennessee. To this
union, three children were born: Shayla Camielle Mosley, Jalyn Nicole Mosley, and Noah James Mosley. She was a loving wife and devoted mother who always sacrificed her needs and put her family and others first.

Michelle was dedicated to the work of the Lord and was a devoted member of New Hope Freewill Baptist Church. She served as a member of the Junior Mission, President of the Gospel Chorus, Youth Leader, Mission Department, and other various committees of the
