Mrs. Margaret Elizabeth Mooney, age 82, passed away Sunday, October 15, 2017, in Biloxi. Mrs. Mooney was born in Savannah, TN. She and her late husband, Bill Mooney, traveled extensively while he was in the military and settled on the MS Gulf Coast in 1972. She and her husband were the owners/operators of Mooney’s Lake and Campground, Biloxi Beach Campground and Southern Comfort Campground. Mrs. Mooney has continued to operate Southern Comfort Campground after “Mr. Bill” passed away in 2010.
