Camellia Ann Moss “Connie”, 74, passed away peacefully at the Riverbend Nursing Facility on December 21, 2025. Services will be Saturday, December 27, 2025 beginning with visitation at 10 am and funeral service to follow at 12 noon at West Chestnut Street Baptist Church, 1725 W. Chestnut Street. Interment will be in Green Meadows Cemetery.

Connie was born on October 23, 1951 in Louisville, KY to the late King Dean and Cleopatra Bell Moss, in which she was the “baby” of the family. At age 10, Connie accepted the Lord as her Savior and was baptized at West Chestnut Street Baptist Church.  Connie was a talented soprano, who enjoyed singing in her church for more than 60 years.  She was a member of the Junior Choir, the Voices of Inspiration, and the Church Choir.

Connie graduated from Theodore Ahrens Trade High School on June 3, 1969, and attended business school at Spencerian Commercial College.  In 1971, Connie married Jose Beckley and from this union they welcomed their son, Anthony Troy Beckley in 1972. In 1986, approximately 1 year before the death of her father, Connie assumed the guardianship of her younger sister, Rachelle, and supported her growth and development until she graduated high school.

Connie worked at PNC Bank supporting the legal and trust departments.  She retired after 25 years of committed service. In 2004, Connie began a second career as an executive assistant for the counselors at Central High School.  After 10 years of impactful service towards all of her “little darlings” of Central High, Connie retired in 2014.

Connie loved fellowshipping with family, singing, dancing, and playing games (Spades, Taboo).  She was also known as “Classy Diva” of the “Divas” and was often found celebrating birthdays and special occasions with this group of 12 women.  Nothing was more important to Connie than God, family and close friends.

Connie is survived by her son, Anthony Beckley (Marlo), 4 grandchildren, Kamiel, Kristian, Charon, and Zaria, her brother, Michael Moss Sr. (Adriane), her sister Rachelle Conley (Lydell), and an abundance of nieces, nephews, and cousins, who she affectionately called “my little darlings”.  She was preceded in death by her parents, her sisters Adrielle Moss and Hazel “Penny” Lane, her brothers, Roderick Dean Moss Sr., Lawrence Dean Moss, Emmett King Jr., and Karl Dean Moss.
