WRENTHAM: Deborah Mary (Mosher) Galvin, age 63, of Wrentham, MA, where she has been a resident since 1987, died peacefully February 11, 2015, at her home in the arms of her husband and surrounded by family after a courageous 35 year struggle against Lupus, and an intense, dignified 2 year battle with ALS.
Born in Boston, she was the daughter of the late Daniel and Rhelda (Walters) Mosher, and was educated in the Millis public schools where she was awarded the “Most Athletic Senior”, graduating with the class of 1969.
Formerly of Norwood and her hometown of Millis, she was an avid reader of spiritual, religious, and self improvement books; and enjoyed Joni Mitchell’s “Blue” album, Stevie Wonder’s “Songs in the Key of Life” and Van Morrison’s “Moondance” (the couple’s favorite song); also, she enjoyed extensive traveling with her husband, camping, hiking, and canoeing in many national parks throughout the USA and Canada, highlighted by a road trip to Alaska in 1990; plus, she loved lying in a particular hammock in Key Largo, FL, as a winter respite. She also spent many hours doing jigsaw puzzles, genealogy research, and tending her many gardens. She hiked to the bottom of the Grand Canyon two times, once solo in 1977. Her favorite area was Acadia National Park in Maine, where she and her husband are members of Friends of Acadia.
Deborah has been medically retired for many years, but had been employed as an engineering designer by Analog Devices for 10 years, Instron for 3, and Corning Glass for 4 years.
She leaves her devoted husband of 32 years, William “Bill” Galvin, and was the loving sister of Dixie Hill of Hanson, Charles Mosher of Millis, Paul Mosher of Ashby, Denise Mosher of Sonoma, CA, Donald Mosher, James Mosher, and Dorothy Toubeau all of Medway and John Mosher of Unity, NH. She was a doting aunt of many nephews and nieces and great nephews and nieces, and is also survived by a stepson William Forest Galvin of FL, and the late Stephen M. Galvin.
Private funeral services will be held at the convenience of her family with burial at Prospect Hill Cemetery, Millis. A public service to which all are invited celebrating her life will be held in the spring at a date, time and place to be announced.
In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to the Lupus Foundation of America, 2000 L St, N.W., Suite 410, Washington, DC 20036 or www.lupus.org/.
