“Liz” Larue
Mobley was
born July 1, 1960,
to parents Lois and
Chester “Chet”
Hostick in Ontario,
Ore. Liz was the
youngest of the six
Hostick children
and spent most of
her youth and adult
life in the Florence
area.
After graduating
from Siuslaw High
School in 1978, Liz
immediately went
on to honorably
serve her country in
the U.S. Army,
working as a com-
puter programmer
at the Pentagon in
Virginia.
After her military
service, she worked in
a variety of jobs includ-
ing a long stint as a
waitress at Morgan’s
Country Kitchen, a
butcher at Thriftway
and sales associate at
Liz Mobley in 2015 and at
Siuslaw High School in 1978
Bi-Mart.
She became a mother
to her only daughter,
Phoebe (Hostick)
Ebright, and shortly
thereafter married the
man of her dreams,
Jack Mobley.
In her 30s, she was
fortunate to find her
dream job as a travel
agent, later purchasing
the Carlson Wagonlit
Travel Agency, later
renamed Travel
Leaders, where she
worked up until the
time of her diagnosis.
She is survived
by her husband,
Jack Mobley; her
daughter and son-
in-law, Phoebe and
Grant Ebright; her
grandchildren
Owen, 5, and Elliot,
2; her sisters:
Marianne Klekacz,
Margaret Pape and
Rebecca Cole; her
sister-friend, Laurie
Roane; her brother,
Jim Hostick; moth-
er-in-law Carol
Mobley; and count-
less aunts, uncles,
nieces, nephews
and community
friends, who were
each considered fami-
ly to her.
Liz passed away July
21, 2015, losing a
three-month battle with
cancer.
She will be missed by
all and it is in her
honor that we dedicate
the 2016 American
Cancer Society Relay
For Life of Florence.
