Sterling Mouring

Sterling “Skeet” Mouring born in Brunswick, VA on January 25, 1951. He was born to the late James Rossevelt Mouring and Addie Jane Myrick Mouring.

Sterling, affectionately known as Star, took his rest on March 28, 2022 peacefully at his home in Federalsburg, MD.

Sterling attended the public schools of Dorchester County in Maryland. He had a few jobs during his lifetime. He was employed at Coldwater in Cambridge, MD for many years. He also worked on the railroad, at Harrison Paving Co., and at Koski’s in Williamsburg, MD.

Sterling enjoyed fishing playing spades, eating wild food like marshrats, coon, rabbit and deer. His favorite gospel song was A Change is Gonna Come by Sam Cooke.

Sterling was a warm hearted and caring soul. He was always willing to lend a helping hand to others. You would often find him visiting the sick and offering words of encouragement to those that he felt needed it. He had a love for cars and also would make it known that he was the expert, so he would tell you how to drive. He loved bossing people around! He had a way with words and would make you laugh. He also loved speaking in parables.
