Elaine Mosher, a 60-year-old Nova Scotia woman killed by her husband, is remembered as a kind, funny, and devoted family member. The Elizabeth Fry Society of Mainland Nova Scotia, which worked with Mosher's family, described her as an avid gardener and a well-loved member of her community. Her death is one of six women killed by their male partners in Nova Scotia since September, prompting calls for greater public awareness and action on intimate partner violence.
The Elizabeth Fry Society of Mainland Nova Scotia says Elaine Mosher shared her commitment to others through the many jobs she had over the years, including as a 'well-loved bus driver' and dedicated caretaker at Rissers Beach Provincial Park.Family members of a 60-year-old Nova Scotia woman killed by her partner say she was an “effortlessly funny” person who could also be lovingly honest and direct.
“Elaine was a devoted daughter, sister, and aunt, frequently fishing and lobstering with her father before he passed, going on drives with her mother on weekends, and getting together for coffee and conversation with her sisters as often as she could.” Emma Halpern, director of the Elizabeth Fry Society, said the family wants the public to “realize Elaine Mosher is so much more than a victim.”
Police issued a release on Monday saying the death over the weekend of a 22-year-old woman from Centreville, N.S., was the latest case of a woman killed by her male partner. Lohnes-Croft said that since the death she’s received a number of calls from residents of the town relating their own experiences with intimate-partner violence. “Domestic violence is very prevalent. It’s more prevalent than we know. But it’s also secretive. It’s kept quiet and for the most part people don’t like to talk about it,” she said.
