Muriel Kathleen Osher

October 11, 1920 - April 8, 2021

Muriel Kathleen Osher (Mookie) née Segal, 100, passed away April 8, 2021, daughter of the late Benjamin and Bertha Segal, wife of the late Dr. Daniel Osher, mother of Tom C. Osher of Ecuador, John D. Osher and partner Elizabeth Yeh of Florida, Peter J. Osher and Sylvia Dvoredsky-Osher of Cincinnati and Spain, and the late James B. Osher and Paula Wiggins of Cincinnati. Grandmother of Daniel, Oriana, Zachary, Jordan, Jesse, Paul, David, Julia and Nicholas, also survived by 14 great grandchildren. Her immediate family also included her caregivers, headed by Bonnie Currens, who took great care of her for the past twelve years. Muriel was a prolific writer of short stories, plays and musicals that revealed her unique sense of humor. As much as her skills and talent in writing were exceptional, she chose to keep them as an avocation and devote her attention to her neurosurgeon husband Dan and her four boys, and make them all the subjects of many of her whimsical stories. Dan and Muriel were great adventurers. They were known for taking their family in a Ford station wagon and Nimrod camper on month-long camping trips through the entire USA, for traveling extensively in a motorhome after retirement, for traveling through Europe before it was fashionable, and for owning a small house in a sleepy fishing town in Spain and another one by the Ohio river to enjoy boating, farming, and entertaining friends. Muriel was a lifetime member of the Unquotes, a playwright and songwriter for NANA productions, and volunteered at Longview, Jewish Hospital, and at OLLI as a teacher of creative writing, where she was one of the original members. She enjoyed playing bridge, and was a great gardener. Muriel loved life and was an inspiration to us all. She even survived 10 days in the hospital with COVID 19 at 100 years of age. She will be missed. Private graveside services for family and her care-givers only, Sunday, April 11, at the United Jewish Cemetery in Clifton, 730 Old Ludlow Ave. Cincinnati, OH 45220. Condolences can be made to Peter J. Osher, 2324 Madison Rd. Cincinnati, OH 45208. In lieu of flowers, please make memorial contributions to Congregation Beth Adam, Loveland, OH or a charity of your choice.
