It is with great sadness that the family announces the passing of our mother, Joyce Eileen Mosher, 11 March 2025, nine days short of her 95th birthday.
She married the love of her life, the late Harold William Mosher, and raised five children. She often told the story of Dad dragging her and the family over to Halls Harbour for a few months. She told him there was no way she was staying past the summer. Mom would laugh and say look at me now 60 plus years later still living in Halls Harbour loving every minute. Such beautiful scenery and neighbours! The greatest place to raise free ranging kids.
Besides her family she loved her many dogs with the latest being named "ELVIS" which leads into her being a super Elvis Presley fan. She was an Elvis memorabilia collector and loved to attend the Elvis impersonator Thane Dunn concerts.
She liked her snacks, cherry chocolates and potato chips followed by a beer or glass of wine.
But her favourite food was lobster; thank you to all those fishermen over the years that would show up at her door with fresh caught lobsters out of the Bay of Fundy.
Her morning routine was toast with jam, tea and the newspaper- straight to the obituaries. Always on the lookout to see if she had made the list: surprise one day her name appeared (another Joyce Mosher)! Heaven forbids should her newspaper not arrive!
She looked forward to every Thursday morning Coffee Club meeting of friends and good food.
She loved feeding and watching the birds, especially hummingbirds (oh the amount of sugar she went through).She was known for her molasses cookies and pickles but only if the cucumbers came free!
She is survived by brother, Floyd (Gwen) and children; Bill (Gloria), Don (Edith), Sharon (Raymond) and Sheila (Vincent); nine grandchildren; 18 Great-Grandchildren; four Great-Great grandchildren and many nieces and nephews.
She was predeceased by husband, Harold, son, Michael, granddaughter, Marie, parents, Edna and Owen Peterson; brothers, Lawrence, Oren, Kenneth, Murray, Donald, Maxwell; sisters, Hazel, Elsie, Helen, and Gladys; and many beloved friends.
The family wishes to thank the NS Continuing Care Coordinators, VON, Senior Home Care by Angles and the Kentville Hospital staff for all their loving care for our mom.
No flowers; burial will be a graveside family affair.
Donations in memory may be made to the Halls Harbour Volunteer Fire Department or the Fundy View Hall.
