ALMA VERA MOSHER It is with great sadness that we announce the peaceful passing of Vera on August 16, 2004 at Deer Lodge Centre at 102 years young. Vera was predeceased by her parents Ezekiel Whitney and Hannah Mosher, brothers, Arnold, John, Emerson, Wilson Red, Floyd (Judy) and and sisters, Mary (Art) Thompson and Blanche (Auril) Decaire (Ernie) Tough and niece Louise Decaire Baker. Vera was a beloved Great Aunt to Jodi (Jamie) Hutchison and Holly (Scott) Brooker. Also a Great Great Aunt to Joshua and Jaden Hutchinson. She will be remembered and sadly missed by all, including niece Marilyn Russel, nephew Joe Mosher, staff and residents of Deer Lodge and many friends and neighbours. Vera was the first of eight children, born May 25, 1902 in the Pattulo area six miles north of Stratton, Ontario. She lived there with her family working on the homestead often helping neighbours by babysitting their children. She worked in Winnipeg, Manitoba in a domestic capacity for many years before eventually returning to live with her family in Stratton. In the 1930s she was very active in the Bethany Church and was known to collect autographs of parishioners and missionaries whom she attended church with. Veras favourite pastimes were making crab apple jelly and gardening. We will miss Veras charm, spirit, and gentle tickles. Special Thank you to the staff at Deer Lodge and visiting companion Terry, also to pallbearers Dennis Brown, Robin McQuaker, George Rempel, Jamie Hutchison, Joe Mosher, and Gary Advent.
