In 1974, Mobley became the founding dean of SBI. Before then, FAMU did not feature a school dedicated to business. Through Mobley’s dedication and efforts, it is recognized as one of the top institutions of its sort.
According to Mobley’s daughter, her mother was treated for a brief and unannounced illness while in Tallahassee.
“I told her she would never in her life be able to see the impact of her life on SBI and the business community,” said Mobley’s daughter, Janet Sermon, told the Tallahassee Democrat.
Mobley was a member of the Alpha Kappa Alpha sorority, and holds an honorary degree from the University of Pennsylvania among other honors.
Mobley was 89.
