She was born on January 30, 1965 in Epharta, Washington to Walter and Cathryn (Rowland) Moody Jr.. Loralea married Jeff Suever April 3, 1999 and he survives.
Loralea’s life was characterized by two things- her love of her Lord Jesus Christ and her love of reading. The first she expressed in countless hours of study, devotion, mentoring others in 1:1 relationships and teaching in formal settings. However, more than these formal displays, her faith was demonstrated by the way she lived her life and her “special gifts” were apparent to all.
One of her favorite mottos was “I’d rather see a sermon, than hear one any day.” Her last request was to hear the Psalms being read to her.
Her love of reading naturally led to a love of writing where she wrote many hundreds of poems and other works. Occasionally for special purposes such as Easter Church services, but mostly to express the joy of the Lord in her heart.
One of her many dreams was to become a published author and was continually urged to compile her writings into a formal work. Shortly before her passing she submitted a draft for her part of an anthology which would mark the beginning of the realization of her lifelong dream.
All of this came together in her relationships with others. They weren’t marked by her having some “charismatic” personality, or anything like that. But by her genuine care, concern and ability to make that person feel loved and to feel that their heavenly Father genuinely cared about not only them, but what was happening right then, in that moment.
In addition to her husband, Jeff, Loralea is survived by her mother, Cathryn, father Walter; three sisters and one brother, Wynona Parr, Peggy Errede, Donald Moody, and Janice Domke.
Memorial contributions are suggested to either Cornerstone Fellowship of West Palm Beach, Florida, or the Quincy Public Library.
