Ann S. Mosher of Milford, Pa., passed on Wednesday, May 27, 2020, at the Milford Health & Rehabilitation Facility in Milford, Pa. She was 89.
Daughter of the late Egbert and Alice Sheare Tanner, she was born on April 23, 1931, in Port Jervis, N.Y.
In her earlier years, Ann was one of the original waitresses at the iconic Flo-Jean Restaurant in Port Jervis. Thereafter, she worked in retail sales of women’s fashion achieving managerial positions with both Montgomery Wards and Robert Hall. After leaving retail sales, Ann worked as an assembler for Kolmar Labs until her retirement. Whatever the job, she was known by her peers to be an exceptionally hard worker.
She enjoyed ceramics, Chinese cooking, and shopping for whatever she considered fashionable, all of which she excelled at. Though very meticulous in maintaining a fashionable appearance, Ann was equally capable of hard work in the kitchen preparing her favorite meals and extensive traditional dinners at Thanksgiving and Christmas. These holiday meals will never be the same without her touch.
Up until recent years she and Edson enjoyed annual winter vacationing in Florida and August getaways to Maine for the freshest lobster.
She was an active member with the Port Jervis Lodge of Elks, #645, B.P.O.E.
Ann first married the late William VanSickle and then Edson D. Mosher Jr., who survives at home. She is also survived by her son , Robert Panuto and his wife, Yongjing, of Wurtsboro, N.Y.; daughter, Susan Hogan of Milford; twin sister, Alice Pagano and her husband, Joseph, of Milford; sister Joan Wagner of Port Jervis; beloved grandchildren, Robert Panuto, Brianne, and John Josd; beloved great-granddaughter, Kaitlyn; stepson, Clark Mosher of Albany, Calif.; sister-in-law, MaryJane Tanner of Tannersville, Pa.; and several nieces and nephews.
Ann was pre-deceased by her brother, John Tanner; and her son-in-law, Michael Hogan.
Due to the health crisis, services were private. Interment took place at Pine Hill Cemetery, Sparrowbush, N.Y.
Ann’s husband Ed and her family would like to extend a special thank you to the nurses and staff at Milford Senior Care for their kind and compassionate care given to Ann during her stay at the facility.
