Wendell was a caring man who loved his community and enjoyed serving in a variety of ways.  

He was an active member of Rosemary UMC and Rotary International Club until health prohibited his attendance.

Wendell was an attorney in Roanoke Rapids from 1963 until 2011.

Additionally, he helped the area by serving on a variety of boards such as Roanoke Savings Bank, Roanoke Rapids Sanitary District, Halifax Memorial Hospital attorney, Halifax County Board of Elections attorney, and Roanoke Rapids Graded School District board, and the Roanoke Rapids Board of Adjustment.

In Rotary, he was the district governor in 1983-1984 during which they established the Rotary Youth Leadership Awards conference which continues to present.

Wendell was a kind family man who enjoyed loving, laughing, and spending time with his family.

He was married to Nancy (Garner) Moseley for 52 years and enjoyed building a happy life with her and their two daughters, Ruth (Moseley) Logsdon and her husband Jim, of Lemoore, CA, and Mary Clay (Moseley) Vick of Cary, NC.
