Velma May Moosman, 85, of Mount Pleasant, Utah passed away on November 4, 2025. Velma was born on January 9, 1940 to her loving parents Leroy James and Guelda Rose Bucklar Moosman. Growing up in Circleville, Utah Velma enjoyed a childhood surrounded by friends, family and the wonders of small town life. Her family moved to Mount Pleasant while Velma was a teenager. Over her lifetime Velma lived in many new communities and grew through the new experiences and challenges she encountered along the way.

Velma loved to share her stories of growing up, and of her many adventures wandering through the deserts of southern Utah with her sisters. Later in life she enjoyed cooking, quilting, sewing and helping with humanitarian projects. Her family will forever be reminded of her each time they see a jigsaw puzzle strewn across a table ready to be assembled.

Mom shares this message:

“Thank you to family and friends for the contributions you made to my overly filled cup of life. No regrets, No should haves. The day has come that there are no more tomorrows for me. I want my family to know they were and will always be loved.”

Velma is survived by her four children; Deborah (Thomas) Rees, Holly (Kent) Rosenlof, Chad (Charese) Johansen, and Mary Johansen; 13 grandchildren and 21 beautiful great grandchildren; her sisters LuJean and RoseMarie.

WALES FAMILIES~~~ "Coal Bed"

Wales, Utah was originally called "Coal Bed". Local Indians attended a meeting in Ephraim Fort, where Brigham Young was present. Chief Tabiona stepped up to speak to President Young, showed him two rocks, and said "Heap burn". President Young recognized that the stones were coal and asked those present if any of them were experienced at coal mining. John Rees stepped forward and told Brigham "I entered the coal pits in Old Wales when I was eight years old and worked there until I came to Utah". Rees further stated that John Price of Manti was also a coal miner and had the tools to mine with".
