Norma J. Mosier

Norma J. Mosier 88, of Kersey, passed away peacefully Wednesday, November 11, 2026 at McKinley Health Center.

She was born January 17, 1938, in St. Marys, daughter of the late John and Caroline Sarginger Drabant. Norma was a lifelong resident of the area, a graduate of St. Marys High School. In 1959 she graduated from Butler School of Nursing as a registered nurse. She worked in local hospitals and doctors’ offices but spent the greater part of her career as a community nurse for Elk and Cameron Counties. Before her retirement, Norma played an essential part in establishing the first hospice program in the area. Norma took great pride in caring for her community members.

On June 4, 1966, in the Sacred Heart Church, Norma married George A. Mosier, who survives. They were blessed to celebrate their 60th wedding anniversary this past summer.

In addition to her loving husband, she is survived by two daughters: Kathy Dowie (Jamie) of Kersey and Barb Mosier of Morgantown, WV; two sons: Louis Mosier (Shanda) of Weedville and Dan Mosier (Melissa) of Kersey; eight grandchildren: Mariah Mosier, Trenton Mosier, Braydon Mosier, Gavin Mosier, Nicholas Blumish, Caroline Blumish, Garrett Mosier, and Jack Mosier; and many nieces and nephews.

In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by two sisters: Ruth Zelt and in infancy, Shirley Drabant; and four brothers: Robert, John, Thomas, and in infancy, Joseph Drabant.

Norma was a faithful and devoted parishioner of St. Boniface Church, where she actively lived out her faith through her involvement in the Cursillo Movement, Bereavement Committee, and teaching CCD. She found great joy in gardening and was an excellent baker, often sharing her homemade treats with those she loved. Above all, family was the center of her life, and she cherished every opportunity to spend time with her loved ones.

A Mass of Christian Burial will be held in the St. Boniface Church, 355 Main Street, Kersey, PA 15846 on Saturday, November 14, 2026 at 10:00AM with Rev. Christopher Beran, Pastor, celebrating. Burial will follow in the St. Boniface Cemetery.
