Desiree L. Mosher
VASSALBORO – Desiree L. Mosher, 32, passed on before her time on Sunday, Aug. 11, 2024, at her home.
She was born in Portland on April 27, 1992, a daughter of Wayne A. Lee, Jr. and Wendy J. (Williamson) Lee. Desiree was a graduate of Erskine Academy class of 2010.
She had been employed by MaineGeneral Medical Center in Augusta for several years as a CNA and other roles. She previously worked at the Oak Grove Center in Waterville, but her favorite career was being a mom to her wonderful son, Ryker.
Desiree enjoyed being outdoors exploring new hiking trails, working in the garden, or just hanging in the backyard relishing the sun. In the springtime, she would be happy going out foraging for fiddleheads, in summer it was picking blueberries. She was more than pleased to just sit and share a pint of raspberries with her son, her husband was lucky to get one. Desiree loved to go to concerts and sit and listen to live music. She was always grateful when she had time to spend with her father, even if it was just to sit while he watched his westerns. Desiree loved her dogs Odin and Lilly and she will be elated to be with her beloved Lilly again.
She always had been a caring person, that’s what drove her to the path of CNA. She showed her caring far beyond her work into her social life. She did not know how far her reach was and how many peoples lives she had touched. She will be missed greatly by friends, family, and the many people she worked with through the years.
Desiree is survived by her husband, Zebadiah H. Mosher of Vassalboro; her son, Ryker L. Mosher of Vassalboro; her parents Wayne A. Lee, Jr. and Wendy J. Lee of South China; two brothers, her twin Dustin W. Lee and Jeremy D. Lee, both of Clinton; her grandmother, Mary E. Williamson of Waterville; and the many nieces, nephews, cousins, aunts, uncles, and one great-niece. She is also survived by her father-in-law, Scott Mosher of China; sister-in-law, Molly Ward of Winslow; and Jacqueline and Fallyn Soucy.
A memorial service will be held on Saturday, Aug. 31 at 11 a.m. at Plummer Funeral Home, Windsor Chapel, 983 Ridge Rd., Route 32, Windsor. Burial will be at family convenience.
