MILO – Marjorie I. (Wilson) Mosher, 82, died Feb. 21, 2011, at a Bangor nursing home. She was born Sept. 23, 1928, in Derby, the daughter of Edward James and Iona Vera (Dyer) Wilson.
Marjorie married her childrens’ father, William Roberts, of Elliottsville, who died in November 1959. The world has never known such an avid housekeeper. Marjorie liked to be busy and enjoyed housecleaning, which became one of her careers while living in Presque Isle. After her children were grown she returned to her hometown of Milo where she became an important part of her elder daughter’s family. Marjorie enjoyed walking and was very happy to be back with her old friends and schoolmates. She became a caregiver, always appreciated and well loved by the families of the people for whom she cared. Always a determined person, Marjorie resumed her education to complete her senior year of high school, graduating in 1978, with the congratulations and good wishes of family and friends. She was a loyal person and felt obligated to share her strong political beliefs and to help those who needed a hand in life. She will always be remembered in the lives of those she touched, but her presence will be greatly missed.
Marjorie is survived by her son, Steven Roberts and his wife, Karen; daughters, Sharon Roberts Corcoran, and Sheila Corbett and her husband, Bill; her grandchildren, Steven Roberts Jr., Kriston Corcoran, Heidi Jo (Roberts) Burtt, Sean Corcoran, Ronnie Lynn (Roberts) Mitchel, Kyle Corcoran, Joleen Corcoran and her partner, Sean Theran, Cobbie Roberts and his wife, Annie (Anderson), and Ryan Roberts his partner, Patty (Busque); her sister-in-law, Maria Wilson of California; several great-grandchildren, nieces and nephews. She was predeceased by her husband, Ronald Mosher of Presque Isle; brothers, Edward Wilson of Oregon, and Bruce Wilson of California; her sister, Lois (Wilson) O’Neal of Portland; and her grandson, Shane Roberts of Exeter. Marjorie’s children wish to thank the Penobscot staff of Westgate Manor for the kindness, compassion and care they gave to their mother and to them – it was the greatest gift in a difficult time. We also wish to thank Beacon Hospice for their care.
