William Mosier

March 21, 1940 — July 17, 2025

William L. "Bill" Mosier, 85, a lifelong resident of Main Street, Kersey, passed away on Thursday July 17, 2025, following a lengthy illness.

He was born on March 21, 1940 in Kersey, a son of the late Thomas and Annabelle Wildnauer Mosier.

On November 13, 1963, he married the late Elizabeth "Betty" McMackin Mosier, who preceded him in death on December 26, 2017. Together they were blessed with more than 54 years of marriage.

Bill was a graduate of Kersey High School and member of St. Boniface Church. He served in the U.S. Army from 1963-1965. He retired from Fox Township after many years as the Roadmaster and also served as a Fox Township Supervisor. Very mechanically inclined, Bill could often be found working in the garage on a vehicle, or tinkering with a motor. He loved the outdoors, and always enjoyed time spent hunting in the woods. Over the years, he enjoyed helping others with his backhoe and running the sawmill with his brother. Most of all, he loved his family and looked forward to spending time at camp with his beloved wife.

Bill is survived by three daughters, Patty (Bruce) Gabor of Kersey, Debi (Charlie) Schatz of St. Marys and Renee (Jesse) Safran of Cornwall, VT, by two sons, Andrew (Colette) Mosier of Kersey and Ronald (Rhonda) Mosier of Weedville, by sixteen grandchildren, Steven, Emma, Sarah, William, Kari, Shelbie, Jenna, Jacob, Abigail, Zachary, Olivia, Lillian, Lauren, Logan, Sydney and Madelyn, and by one great-granddaughter, Austyn.
