Leatrice Mohs

A beautiful soul, Leatrice Ione (Henderson) Mohs, left us on June 4, 2025. Leat was born on November 6, 1933, to Leo and Ruth Henderson and grew up in Foxhome, MN. She married the love of her life, Alvin Mohs, in April 1953, and together they raised four children. She would tell you her favorite job was for the Fargo Public Schools, where she was a “lunch lady” at Agassiz Middle School for many years. She so enjoyed the kids and her co-workers. After she retired, it gave her a big smile when a former student would see her and say “hi” to their favorite lunch lady!

Leat was loved by everyone she met. She loved life! She loved music (especially Dean Martin!), dancing, playing games (whether a good game of Yahtzee or a trip to the casino), watching sports, such as football (Vikings and Broncos), baseball (Twins, of course), and golf (Phil Mickelson), as well as sports and events of her family. She especially loved her family. Family was everything to her, from her own 4 children, to her 11 grandchildren, and her 10 “littles” - her great-grandchildren.

She was always a classy woman. As far back as we can remember, her nails were done regularly (Aphrodite Pink of course!) and her wardrobe was updated to current styles. And it was important to her to keep up her “girlish figure”! She had a wicked sense of humor and was so much fun to hang around with. Her stories were colorful and playful, and you always looked forward to hearing them.

She was preceded in death by her parents, 4 siblings, her husband, Al, and her son-in-law, Jim Nelson. She leaves behind her children Brad (Mary) Mohs, Becky Nelson, Beth (Eric) Vlasin, and Barb Mohs; her 11 grandchildren; and her 10 great-grandchildren. We will all miss her very, very much.

Funeral services will be held at 2:00 PM on Monday, June 16, 2025, at the Sanctuary Events Center, 670 4th Ave N, Fargo, ND. Visitation will be from 1:00 to 2:00 PM. A private interment will be held later that day. Feel free to wear attire representing her favorite sports teams.

Memorials will be used to supply school lunches for kids in the Fargo area.
