IN LOVING MEMORY OF

Obituary
John Edward Moody went to be with his Lord & Savior on August 2nd in his home town of Tulsa, Oklahoma. He was 92 years old, born on November 2, 1926.
John was a very loving & faithful husband, dad, father, grandfather & great-grandfather, who loved having everyone up to his ranch in Claremore, Oklahoma.
John was born in Cushing, Oklahoma. He & his sister primarily grew up on his Uncle Cash's 40 acre Oklahoma farm. John has fond memories of eating "a lot of gravy" back then, as well as helping with the 2 horse plow, selling milk bottles for 5 cents, & running around the hospital where his mom & aunts worked. In his Senior HS year in Sapulpa, he enlisted with the Army Air Corp in WWII. After war, based on encouragement from one of his HS teachers, he went to college at Oklahoma A&M on the GI bill, where he met Beverly & went on to graduate with a Civil Engineering degree in 1950. He went to work for Warren Petroleum, where he made everlasting friendships in his 41 years with Warren. He retired in 1991 while working for Chevron.
After 37 years of wonderful marriage to Beverly, when she passed, God put John together with Loretta. They were married 28 years at his passing.
John was preceded in death by his first wife, Beverly, who passed away at the age of 58 by cancer, as well as by his mom, Brendy (Maitlen), who passed away in 1994; his dad, Norman Moody; grandfather JD Maitlen and sister, Lou (Patton), who passed away in 1974. John's surviving family members include his wife, Loretta; his four sons Craig, Chris, Chad & Curt; grandchildren, Shane & Ryan (Craig & Elaine), Kyle & Katelyn (Chad & Denise), & Joseph (Curt & Mark); great-grandchildren, Camille & Quinn (Ryan & Kelly) & Maddox & McKinsey (Shane & Stephanie). Also, on Loretta's family side, Richard, Lori, & Melissa, with 10 grandchildren & 9 great-grandchildren.
In lieu of flowers, the family suggests donations to the American Cancer Society or charity of your choice in his name. Visitation will be 4-6 p.m., Tuesday, August 6, 2019 and the funeral service 10 a.m., Wednesday, both at Moore's Southlawn Funeral Home, 9350 E. 51st Street, Tulsa.
