Mrs. Mosher was born May 15, 1919 in Parker County, Texas to Charles O. and Ruth C. Brumlow.
The family moved to Fort Worth, Texas when Juanita was four years of age. Upon graduation from Business College she was employed by the Harris Fifth Avenue Medical Clinic.
In 1942 Juanita moved to Oklahoma City, OK to be on the staff of the prime contractor of Tinker Air Force Base. In 1948, she accepted a position with the Manager of the Chamber of Commerce in Colorado Springs, Colorado. She assisted in the preparation of the proposal which was instrumental in bringing the Air Force Academy to that city. After several months with the Chamber, she became personal secretary to the Aid to the General at Fort Carson. Juanita returned to Oklahoma City to resume her former position with Leo Sanders. She became active in Desk & Derrick, a national association, serving on the board of the local chapter. Juanita was part of a song and dance duo dubbed "The Dearies" which performed before many meetings and conventions of the oil industry throughout Oklahoma.
In April, 1953 Juanita joined the Washington D.C. staff of Congressman John Jarman, 5th district of Oklahoma, as his private secretary. In 1959, the congressman appointed her Executive Administrative Assistant, the top position with his office, which she held for 16 years. This position had previously been held by three male attorneys. This same year, she also married George W. Mosher, a native of Milford, Massachusetts. Mr. Mosher was Sales Engineer for the John C. Louis Company, a large construction machinery dealership with offices in D.C., Virginia, and Maryland. George was also a partner with his brothers-in-law, J.O. Brumlow, DMV, and H.C. Brumlow, in Brumlow-Mosher Farms in Floresville, Texas.
Juanita's 22 years in the nation's capital spanned the Presidencies of Eisenhower, Kennedy, Johnson, Nixon, and Ford. She witnessed, first-hand, many important events while working on Capitol Hill, including the Cuban Missile Crisis, and the assassinations of Presidents John F. Kennedy, Robert Kennedy, and Martin Luther King, Jr., to name a few. The Moshers also had the honor of attending the Inauguration of President John F. Kennedy.
The Moshers accompanied the Congrssman and his wife to the memorial service for President Kennedy, held in U.S Capitol. The Moshers accepted numerous invitations to the White House, the highlight being a celebration for Pat Nixon's birthday. They also had the honor of being seated in the President's box at the Kennedy center for a performance of the Washington Symphony Orchestra featuring Soprano Mary Costa.
After 22 exciting years on the Washington scene, the Moshers moved to Floresville, Texas in 1975. Juanita volunteered extensively at the Wilson Memorial Hospital, and served as Treasurer of the Wilson County Library for 17 years. She cherished her family and friends, loved to entertain, and had a reputation as a gourmet cook. Juanita was a staunch Republican, an avid reader, and traveled extensively in the U.S. and abroad. Her foreign travels included China, Liechtenstein, Russia, and Uzbekistan.
