Kathleen E. Moses, age 70 years, of Great Bend, Kansas, passed away at her home in Great Bend on Saturday, morning, July 7, 2018 after a prolonged illness. Kathleen was born on September 12, 1947 at Vicksburg, Mississippi to Luther and Opel (Jones) Ellison and moved with her family at an early age to the North Augusta, South Carolina area. After graduating from High School, she went on to graduate from Nursing School in Atlanta, Georgia where she worked as a Registered Nurse in various healthcare settings. Kathleen also attained a degree in Psychology from Georgia State University in Atlanta, Georgia. She was united in marriage to Earl C. Moses III on October 14, 1978 in Atlanta, Georgia. Earl and Kathleen were recruited by the Mid-Kansas Economic Commission to return to Great Bend, Kansas (Earl’s hometown) in June of 1995 to build affordable housing. Some years later Earl and Kathleen formed the rental business, Moses Properties LLC in Great Bend. Kathleen was an avid reader, and also a published author of poems and short stories. Her biggest hobby by far was people – Kathleen loved people. A very giving person, she with the help of her husband Earl formed Genesis Ministry while in Atlanta, Georgia, offering help and guidance to those who had suffered catastrophic losses in their personal lives.
