Also known as Ala Merl Lillian Mobbs, divorcing from Wilburn A. Mobbs in 1954, she lived out her last days at Moosehaven in Florida. She was an extremely interesting person and was active in the WOTM while I was a member.  Blessed with a gift of gab and natural quick wit, she did the best job as Installing Senior Regent of any I have every seen. She was married to former West Sacramento LOOM Governor Gerald Goldfuss two times, once in 1969 then again in 1972.  I heard that one time she walked into a bar and saw her man with another woman and shot him.  I guess that wouldn't have been Jerry..

She was a very stylish dresser and an extreme hoarder as her car was always piled high with papers and shit.  I don't know how she fit into it.  She was quite a flirt and I heard she had a fling with the administrator before he died.
