Mr. Willie Alvin Moffett, affectionately known as Buddy and Mr. Willie, was born on September 13, 1937, to Leroy Moffett, Sr. and Annie L. (Bivins) Moffett in Ellaville, Georgia. The family moved to Flint, Michigan when Buddy was five years old, and he attended Flint Community Schools. Willie was employed at Buick Motor Company, a division of General Motors Corporation as a skilled tradesman, retiring after 39 years of service and was a member of UAW Local #599. Following his retirement, he worked for Knight Facilities as a custodian for over 15 years. In addition to his strong work ethic, Willie enjoyed taking on various projects around the house for his mother, siblings, and friends. He loved working with his hands, often coming up with new project ideas, sketching them out, and creating masterpieces. He also was a gifted artist and created many drawings throughout the years. Willie joined Greater Holy Temple Church Of God In Christ under the leadership of Elder Roger L. Jones with his family in the 1970s. In 1998, Willie and his wife, Hattie, became founding members of Living Word Ministry under the leadership of Pastor Robert Rosborough. He served faithfully as a greeter until his health began to decline, remaining a member until his passing. Willie was married to Hattie E. Moffett for over 50 years. He was an exceptional provider and protector for his family, and an amazing father to his daughters: Martita, Teea, and Toniel. He cherished all his grandchildren and acted as a father figure to Anyrah, Martré, and Aaliyah. Willie was a lifetime member of the International F. & A.M. Masons. He had a passion for cars, particularly his Cadillacs and his 2001 PT Cruiser. After purchasing the PT Cruiser, he made significant modifications to it, which earned him several First-Place awards in both state and local car competitions. Willie Alvin Moffett leaves to cherish his memory: three daughters, Martita Moffett-Page, Teea (James Prather) Moore, and Toniel (Virgil) Davis; seven grandchildren, Anyrah Moffett, Martré Page, Aaliyah (Christopher) Boughton II, Lakyra Davis, Olivia Ellison, Alyssia Moffett, and Joshua Moore; one great-grandchild; sister, Vivian (Gene) Stuart of Bloomfield Hills, MI; sisters-in-law, Mary Watson of Davison, MI, and Nancy Watson of Flint; dear friends, Larkin Muwwakkil, Lloyd Cabell, and Willie Bray; a host of nieces, nephews, and cousins.
