My name is Philip Moser, father of Brittany Moser. I was born in Angola, Indiana, on December 14, 1956.
Angola is the county seat of Steuben County, Indiana and is located in the very north-eastern corner of
the state. The county is known for its many lakes and is home of Trine University. I have lived in Steuben
County all of my life.
I was the youngest of four brothers, and all three of my older brothers died relatively young. The Moser
family has experienced considerable tragedy. My father was a farmer, and I grew up on the farm. After
graduating from Angola High School, I began working in different parts of the grocery business; and still
work there.
In 1978, I married my life’s companion, Marilyn Jeanne Wells, and we have had two amazing
daughters. The first was Marilyn Camille Moser. She was born on February 1 1980; and we always
referred to her by her middle name, Camille. Camille married James “Mike Schiffli on November 1, 2003;
and they have two sons, Mason and Tyson.
Our second daughter, Brittany Jeanne Moser, was born on July 27, 1984, and died unexpectedly on
February 17, 2017, at the age of 32. Brittany and I formed a special bond early, but little did I realize how
our lives would intertwine and how she would shape my later years.
