Mosher, Leah Maureen
June 19, 1954 – November 3, 2021
Leah passed away suddenly on November 3, 2021. A truly remarkable person, Leah will be deeply missed by her beloved mom Joan Mosher and brothers Glenn, Gord (Glenda), and Gary; nieces and nephews: David (Tanys), Jennifer (Russell Gant), Philip (Lindsay), Stephen (Leah Kwok), Rachel, Billie (Jordan Pike); and great nieces and nephews: Andrew, Claire, Annabelle, Elizabeth, Weston and Avery; as well as many dear friends, near and far.
Born 1954 in Sydney, Nova Scotia, Leah joined the Canadian Forces in 1973 and was one of the first three women to earn their wings in the CAF. She received a Bachelor of Arts in History from Acadia University, Wolfville, Nova Scotia in 1976.
After retiring from the Canadian Forces in 1996, Leah continued her education at Queen’s University, Kingston, Ontario, graduating with a Bachelor Education in 1997. She taught at various schools in the Belleville area, the Ottawa-Carleton District School Board, and in Brunssum, the Netherlands.
Leah loved teaching, travel and warm climates. Upon retiring from teaching in 2013, she spent her winters in Arizona, where she was active in a local electronics club, the pet association, and a desert-walking club.
In Ottawa, she helped organize the 14th RCAF Airwomen’s Reunion. Leah also volunteered at a local woman’s shelter, tutoring children there. Other interests included senior aerobics, gardening, reading, and walking her much-loved dog, Tori.
Leah, soar brightly; may our love lend you wings
