December 27, 1927 — September 25, 2019

Beatrice A. (Riffell) Moody, 91, of Greenville, Ohio, formerly of Ansonia, Ohio passed away on Wednesday, September 25, 2019 at Greenville Health and Rehab in Greenville.

She was born on December 27, 1927 in Darke County, Ohio to the late Emery and Mary (Stoner) Riffell.

In addition to her parents, Bea was preceded in death by her husband, Lee Junior Moody, whom she married on September 5, 1946; her son-in-law, Thomas Brumbaugh, Sr.; her daughter-in-law, Jeana Moody; her grandson, Tom Brumbaugh, Jr.; and her siblings, Hazel Teaford, John Riffell, Mary Ellen Gasper, Russell Riffell, Gene Riffell, Clarence Riffell, Clara Mae Riffell, and Miriam VanScoyk.

Bea was a homemaker that loved her family. She was a jack-of-all-trades and valued spending time with her entire family. She liked to play games, both card games and board games. Bea appreciated bowling and bowled in a league for many years. While in the nursing home, she fell in love with bingo and visiting with her friends. Bea loved being outdoors, cooking for her family, and sewing. She was stubborn but had a smile that would light up a room.
