Jamie Mosher

Jamie Carolyn Mosher was 87 years old and resided at Heartland Nursing home in North Richland Hills, Tx in her twilight years. She went peacefully to be with her Lord and Savior in the early morning of Saturday, September 22, 2018. She will be greatly missed by those she left behind including her 4 children and their families: Cynthia Barnes, Christie Smith and her husband Jerry Smith, Brian Barnes, Jonathan Barnes and his wife Barbara Barnes and her grandchildren, Courtney Yozze and Maddie Barnes. She had one great granddaughter, Kenzi Yozze, who is 7 years old, along with many other family and friends. She is preceded in death by her parents, Rio and Emily Cox, her brother Ronald Cox, her husband and father to 4 children, Jack Barnes and her late husband Chris Mosher, as well as her grandson Jody Obermeyer.

Jamie was born in Brownwood, TX on Sunday April 19, 1931 to Rio and Emily Cox. She graduated from Brownwood High School in 1948. She then pursued a degree in music at the University of North Texas in Denton, TX for 2 years, but ended up getting her Mrs. Degree instead. She was a well-trained pianist having taken piano lessons from the age of 6 to 18 years of age. The music remained a passion for her throughout the most part of her life, as an innate talent, even being able to play by ear effortlessly. She touched many hearts and minds with her musical ability, playing in her church and at Furr’s Cafeteria.

She married Jack Barnes in 1950, and they had 4 amazing children together: Cindy, Christie, Brian and Jon. Her greatest achievement and accomplishment was being the matriarch to her family. She raised her family with Christian values and beliefs, and insured that her children knew the Lord that she loved. While she may not have always been the gentlest of women, and by today’s standards her parenting skills may seem unorthodox, she raised her children in the best way she knew how, and taught them valuable things needed for life, and to become all that they could be. She pushed them to church every Sunday, and to receive a higher education, and to attain all that she didn’t because of course as a parent you always want more for your children.

As you look upon the lives and accomplishments of her 4 children: Cindy Barnes, her eldest who has attained her PhD and is an accomplished Business Professor at Lamar University for the past 36 years, Christie Smith, her youngest daughter who is a Registered Nurse of 40 years working in both the ICU and ER for the most part of her career, Brian Barnes her eldest son who is very smart and has a great memory for dates and calculating money, and her youngest son Dr. Jon Barnes who is a radiation oncologist who practices in Blairsville, Georgia, you realize that Jamie attained her ultimate goal in life of raising leaders of the next generation, her children, whom she loved and cared about her for always and forever. However, let us celebrate Jamie’s life and all those lives she touched with her life, and rejoice in the fact that she has been blessed to have been called home by her Heavenly Father.
