Joyce Elaine Mosher
October 8, 1942-May 5, 2016
Joyce Elaine Mosher, daughter, mother, grandmother and friend passed away peacefully on May 5, 2016 in Littleton, CO at the age of 73.
The daughter of Richard and Alice Laue, Joyce was born on October 8, 1942 in Fairmont, MN. She attended school at St. Paul's Lutheran School in Wilbert, MN through 8th grade and graduated from Ceylon High School on May 27, 1960. She was baptized on October 25, 1942 and then confirmed on March 25, 1956 at St. Paul's Lutheran Church. She married the late Cliff Mosher in 1964 and they had two sons. They raised their family first in Colorado, then in California, before returning to Colorado in 1976.
Her pride and joy were her family. Her devotion to her children and grandchildren was endless. She is survived by two sons: Todd Mosher of Morrison, CO and Jason Mosher of Highlands Ranch, CO; their two wives Sally and Cindy; and five grandchildren Samantha, Jack, Hannah, Sierra and Natalie. She is survived by three brothers and one sister: Dennis Laue and his wife Linda of Cottage Grove, MN, Kathy Blom of Springfield, IL, Rod Laue and his wife Debra of Fairmont, MN, and Randy Laue and his wife Joy of Troy, PA. She also has 7 nephews and a niece. She is preceded in death by her parents Richard and Alice Laue, her sister Gloria Laue, and a niece Michelle Blom.
Joyce spent most of her career working in the real estate industry in the Denver Metropolitan Area until she retired in 2009. A career highlight was being named Employee of the Year at Moore and Company in 1982, which was a testament to her dedication to service. She considered many of her co-workers to be extended family.
Joyce may have moved away from the farm she grew up on, but the farmer never left her as she enjoyed working in her yard and tending her garden. She enjoyed traveling, with several trips to Hawaii being her favorites. She also loved to sing in the church choir, especially enjoying Easter and Christmas holiday services. Many of her fellow singers became lifelong friends.
A Memorial Service will be held at 3:30 PM May 18 at Our Father Lutheran Church in Centennial, CO.
In lieu of flowers, the family is requesting that donations be made out to St. Paul's Lutheran Church in Wilbert, MN where she will be laid to rest with her parents, sister and niece on May 28. Her family would like to thank all of her friends for the love and support throughout the years.
