Esther Mosbo
Esther Mosbo, age 90, of Decorah, Iowa and formerly of Rembrandt, Iowa, died at St. Luke Nursing Home in Spencer, Iowa on Tuesday, October 18, 2005, following a brief illness.
Her childhood years were spent in her father’s parishes in Rowe, Illinois; Fort Dodge, Iowa; Ottawa, Illinois; and Thor, Iowa. After completing high school in Lutheran academies, she attended Waldorf College, graduating with a two-year teaching degree.
Following four years of teaching in the upper elementary grades at Rembrandt, Iowa, she married Edward Johannes Mosbo on May 22, 1938. Together they farmed near Rembrandt until retiring to Decorah, Iowa in 1980. To this union four children were born: Edward Paul, Eloise Annette, Rolf Erik, and Erik Edward.
Esther’s enthusiasm for music has been contagious in the family: all four of her children remain active with varied musical pursuits, and many of her grandchildren and great-grandchildren are also immersed in the joy of music.
She was preceded in death by her parents, her husband, and one brother, Dr.
