Esther L. (Riley) Mosier, 80, of Indianapolis passed away October 11, 2020.  She was born December 20, 1939 in Anderson, Indiana to late Lewis and Louise (Fettinger) Riley.

Esther grew up in Anderson as one of nine siblings.  She graduated from Anderson Highland High School in 1959 went on to Ball State University to major in art.  On April 28, 1985, she married her love, Donald Mosier.  She spent most of her adult life in Indianapolis with her family, raising her children.  Esther was a devoted wife and homemaker for the family.  She enjoyed the simple pleasures of life, like watching Jeopardy!, working crossword puzzles, and embroidery.  She was avid with her correspondence to share love and concern with family and friends, always making sure to send cards and notes on special occasions and just to keep in touch.  Esther was a meticulous housekeeper, and loved to bake.  She and Don spent many hours outside watching the birds in their yard and tending to their garden.  Esther was the true matriarch of the family, always planning gatherings to keep the family close.  She will be dearly missed.
