Maurice A. "Mossy" Foye, 83, and Audrey L. Foye, 78, of Willow Lane Wiscasset died April 18, 2016.

According to family, "Mom passed away earlier in the day and we'd like to think that she came knocking on Dad’s door and told him to hurry up. A few hours later he did just that."

Mossy lived life to the fullest. The family has many memories of him telling jokes around the campfire, his laugh could be heard for miles. He loved to go hunting and fishing with his sons and friends. Many stories have been told of those escapades some legal and some not so legal much to Mom’s chagrin over the years.

Audrey was always more serious and she didn’t always understand his passion for hunting and fishing. Many “discussions” would pursue when he would arrive home later than expected with Mossy walking away with the famous words being spoken “For God’s sake Audrey!” Mossy wasn’t much for confrontations.

They both enjoyed many years of camping together with their family and friends.

Mossy was an Army Korean War veteran. He retired from Bath Iron Works in 1995 after 37 years. Audrey enjoyed reading and crafting as well as her time spent as a child care provider and as a lunch lady at the Wiscasset schools. They both loved spending time with their grandchildren. They almost made it to their 60th wedding anniversary which would have been in June.

Mossy was predeceased by his brother, Parker Foye, and half sister, Barbara Rice.

Audrey was predeceased by her brother, Arthur McGee, and sister, Sandra Tenney.

Mossy is survived by his siblings, Lois Foye and Clayton Foye of Wiscasset and Stanley Foye of Pittston.

They are survived by their children, Mark Foye and his wife Paula and their children, Graydon, Justin and Adam; Trevor Foye and his wife Lisa and their children Hanna and Brian; Melissa Bailey and her husband John and their children, Haley, Ashley and Krista and Bonnie McKay and her husband Steve and their daughter Edie as well as three great-grandchildren and several nieces and nephews.

A family graveside service will be held at Greenlawn Cemetery in Wiscasset. A gathering to celebrate Mossy and Audrey will be held June 25 at 1 p.m. at Trevor’s residence, 441 Willow Lane, Wiscasset.
