Mary Jean Mosier, 83, of Dowagiac, passed away at her home on Thursday, Sept. 3, 2015.

Mary was born on June 19, 1932, to the late Frank and Wanda (Welker) Lewis in Vandalia.  She was one of three children.  On Aug. 14, 1948, Mary wed Donald Lee Mosier in Roseland, Indiana.  Together the two had six children.  She retired from Central Supply at Lee Memorial Hospital in Dowagiac.
