LIMINGTON – Barbara Ogilvie Mosher died on September 24, 2016.

She was born on May 27, 1932 at Quincy, Massachusetts, the daughter of Kent Myers and Jessie Holmes Ogilvie. Barbara attended local Quincy schools, graduating from North Quincy High School in 1949. She then attended Tufts College, Boston University and graduated from Massachusetts General Hospital School of Nursing in 1954. During her many years in nursing, Barbara enjoyed a variety of positions in hospitals and health care agencies in Boston, MA, Miami, FL, Yuma, AZ, Camden and Portland, ME; retiring from her career with a position at Knox Center for Long Term Care in Rockland. Although she enjoyed all facets of her career, her most enjoyable and satisfying were the years she taught CNA classes in Camden. She took great pride that many of her students went on in their education and became licensed and registered nurses.

Barbara married Brad Mosher in Miami, Florida in 1958. He died in 1972.

Barbara enjoyed life, music, books, crossword puzzles, watching birds at her feeders, the ocean, keeping a journal, CBS Sunday mornings, watching tennis, work-outs at the gym with her trainer, Phyllis, and phone conversations with her family.

Then you shall begin to climb.
And when the earth shall claim your limbs,
Then shall you truly dance.”
