N. Mooers

N. Frederick Mooers, age 85, of Brooklyn, CT, passed away peacefully on July 18th, surrounded by family and compassionate caregivers.

Born on December 18, 1939, Fred was the beloved son of Clyde and Nellie Mooers. He grew up in Plainville, CT, graduating from Plainville High School before attending the Porter School of Engineering Design, where he laid the foundation for a remarkable career in mechanical design and precision manufacturing.

Fred began his professional life at Superior Electric Company in Bristol and went on to have a long and successful career, earning several patents for his innovative work. He retired from Ensinger Precision Components in April 2015. His dedication to excellence and deep pride in his work left a lasting impact on colleagues and industry peers alike.

Fred was a man of quiet strength and unwavering devotion to his family. He is survived by his loving wife of many years, Barbara (Westfall) Mooers, and their sons, Jeffrey and Todd, as well as several cherished grandchildren, nieces, and nephews. He was predeceased by his sister, Shirley (Mooers) Mancini, with whom he shared a close bond.

Fred’s joys in life were simple and heartfelt: he found happiness on the golf course, boating in Narragansett Bay, traveling, enjoying a fine glass of wine, and most of all, savoring Barbara’s home cooking. Throughout his life, he was dedicated to guiding and mentoring young people, whether through church retreats or coaching basketball, leaving a lasting legacy of kindness and leadership.

The family extends heartfelt thanks to Michelle, Mary, Jenni, and Trinity, as well as the devoted staff at Day Kimball Hospital and Home Care, for their exceptional care and compassion in Fred’s final days.

A memorial service will be held at Emanuel Lutheran Church, 83 Main St, Thompson, CT, on Saturday, August 9, 2025, at 10:00 AM, with a reception in the church hall to follow.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Fred’s memory to Day Kimball Hospital – Intensive Care Unit.

Fred will be remembered for his quiet integrity, generous heart, and the deep love he shared with all who knew him.
