Ann Mohr Osisek has had to cancel her presentation to FGS this coming Saturday, 17 January 2009. I'm very sorry to have to report that Ann Osisek's mother has died. It was very sudden; she was diagnosed with early onset leukemia. She was admitted to hospital on 7 January 2009 and died on the 11th. The following is the obituary from the Orlando Sentinel website:

| MOHR, MARY ELIZABETH of Casselberry, FL passed away Sunday, January 11, 2009 following a brief illness. Mrs. Mohr was born May 10, 1918 in Parkersburg, WV to the late James David and Elizabeth Thompson Bowers. She moved with her late husband Arthur R. Mohr to Casselberry, FL from Pottstown, PA in 1999 where they had resided since 1950. Mary was a graduate of Parkersburg(WV) High School, class of 1936 and had been a member of St. Francis Xavier Catholic Church in Parkersburg. She was a telephone operator with Chesapeake & Potomac Telephone of WV in Parkersburg. While residing in Pottstown she was a member of St. Aloysius Catholic Church, their Senior Citizens organization and the Knights of Columbus Ladies Auxiliary. She served as a volunteer in many organizations in Pottstown including Girl Scouts of America. She had been a member of St. Augustine's Catholic Church in Casselberry, FL since 1999. She was predeceased by her husband Arthur Randolph Mohr in October of 2007. She is survived by her son James Michael Mohr of Orlando; daughter Ann Mohr Osisek and husband; Joseph A of Maitland; and grandchildren Theresa Osisek Bledsoe and husband Mac of Maitland; Joseph M.

Services will be held at St. Augustine's Catholic Church in Casselberry on Thursday, January 15, 2009 at 10:30AM with burial following at Glen Haven Memorial Park in Winter Park. Memorial contributions may be made to St. Augustine's Catholic Church, Casselberry, FL, or the Leukemia Society. We share our deep sympathy Ann and her family in the loss of her sweet mother. We also look forward to her presentation to us later in the year. As a result, I've volunteered to substitute for her presentation. I'll be presenting a program called, "Bits about Obits: Reading between the Lines." While I realize it isn't the same content as Ann's program, I hope you'll still attend and learn from the methodology presented in the session. Our deepest sympathy goes to Ann, her husband, Joe, her brother, and other family members. Yours, George | ||
