Mozelle Salvagio Cobb

1964 ∼ 2026

Mozelle Salvagio Cobb

Mozelle Salvagio Cobb, a beloved wife, mother, sister, and cherished friend, passed away peacefully on July 1, 2026, in Houston, Texas. Born on May 21, 1964, in Port Arthur, Texas, Mozelle lived a life rich in dedication, passion, and unwavering kindness. To know her was truly to love her, and her absence will be deeply felt by all whose lives she touched.

For over 25 years, Mozelle was a respected professional as the owner, broker, and agent of Prime Real Estate. Beyond her successful career, she found immense joy in music, sharing her talents by teaching voice lessons and piano. Mozelle treasured time spent with her family, whether it was playing games, working puzzles, or enjoying a friendly card game. Her love for cooking and feeding friends and family created countless warm memories around her table. Mozelle's faith was a cornerstone of her life; she loved her Lord and was a faithful member of Life Church in Port Arthur. She possessed a remarkable ability to connect with others, truly never meeting a stranger. Her compassionate spirit made her a natural counselor and therapist to anyone in need, and she delighted in sharing the love of Jesus by praying with and for others.

She is survived by her devoted husband of 44 years, Rickey Lee Cobb of Port Neches; her sons, Matthew Joel Cobb and his wife, Trisha Ann of Groves, and Andrew Joseph Cobb and his fiancé', Katie Elizabeth Quinn of Lumberton. Mozelle also leaves behind her brothers, Joseph V. Salvagio and his wife, Gloria, James D. Salvagio and his wife, Fay, John P. Salvagio and his wife, Juli, Vincent J. Salvagio and his wife, Kari, and Michael O. Salvagio and his wife, Erika; and her sisters, Alida "Liddy" L. Melancon and her husband, Terry, Paula Salvagio Thompson, Michelle Whorton and her husband, Hollis, Keely M. Ritchey and her husband, Dewayne, VinceAnn Taylor and her husband, Robert, Gina M. Gutierez and her husband, Paul, Vinessa Carrillo and her husband, Victor, and Marissa Salvagio.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Vincent and Beverly Salvagio, and her sister, Julie Francis Salvagio.

Mozelle's life will be celebrated by friends and family with a visitation on Friday, July 17, 2026 beginning at 5:00 p.m. until 8:00 p.m. at Life Church, 4600 Jimmy Johnson Blvd., Port Arthur, Texas. A Memorial service will be held at Life Church on Saturday, July 18, 2026 beginning at 11:00 a.m.

The remarkable woman that we all knew as Mozelle will always be remembered for her kind heart, loving spirit, and deep faith in her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

In lieu of flowers, the family request that donations be made in Mozelle's memory to Life Church by visiting https://lifemc.church/give

Patrice Pearah July 7, 2026
Good afternoon, I wanted to send you a message wrapped in comfort and strength, inspired by Proverbs 31:25–31. These verses speak of a woman whose life is marked by dignity, wisdom, kindness, and a legacy that continues far beyond her time on earth. “Strength and honour are her clothing; and she shall rejoice in time to come.” Your loved one carried these qualities beautifully. Her strength showed in the way she faced life, her honour in the way she treated others, and her kindness in the way she made people feel seen and valued. A life lived with such grace leaves an imprint that time cannot erase. As Proverbs continues, it reminds us that her works praise her, and her children rise and call her blessed. The love she poured into the world continues to speak for her now. May these words bring you peace today. Her legacy lives on in the hearts she touched, and her memory remains a blessing. With heartfelt sympathy, Patrice Pearah

Our deepest simpathies and prayers for your family during this sad time. I first met Mozelle in 4th Grade at Terrell Elementary. I was new to the area but she was the first to welcome me . She was always kind and outgoing. She even helped with the passing of one of my parents where we re-met after 30 years. It was like we were back in school! The world will be a little more sad without her here.
Cathy and James Ranka July 6, 2026

The world lost an incredible, gentle, loving soul. I'll forever carry memories from playing the piano and singing with her or from driving her up the wall arguing with Matt. Mozelle played a vital part in shaping the man I am today and I will forever be grateful for our time spent together. My greatest condolences and love to your family during this time.
