Mohona Sue Ross-Casse' passed away on Saturday, November 30th, 2019, at the age of 63.

The daughter of George Samuel and Juanita Mohon Rader was born July 12th, 1956 in Claremore, Oklahoma. She was raised in Foyil on the family farm. As she became older she attended Foyil schools, and played basketball all through high school. Graduating as a member of the class of 1974, she continued to coach the 3rd and 4th grade basketball youth. In 1972 she married Ronnie Ross. The couple made their home near Foyil and began raising a family. In the years to follow Mohona began her working career. She first took a job at Coast-To-Coast, then Hallmark, and eventually at First Bank in Claremore in the early 1990's. She worked there for a number of years before taking an administrative assistant job at Foyil Public School in April of 2011. Once at the school, she became the go-to girl for just about everything. She would help run the concession stand at all school events, and just made herself available for anyone in need of help.

In her spare time, Mohona had a few things that she occupied her time with. While at home, she made sure her yard was kept clean and beautifully landscaped. If she was inside, there was a good chance she was watching Blue Bloods or NCIS. She loved her job at Foyil schools. However, her true pastime revolved around her family, especially her only grandson Lane. She enjoyed taking him to school, and making sure he got home. She also never missed any type of event where he was participating. To Mohona, her family and friends were her hobbies, and she enjoyed every minute she was with them.

She is preceded in death by her parents, George and Juanita Rader; son, Rocky Ross; brother, Bill Rader, and sister, Mary Ann Casey.

Survivors include her son, Travis Ross and wife Nicole; grandson, Lane Ross; sister-in-law, Thressa Rader; nephew, Chris Rader and wife Lisa, and nieces, Kelli Rader and Geogianna Casey.
