Joseph Lincoln Moody

–

Chelmsford, MA

Joseph Lincoln Moody, 81, passed away peacefully at home in Chelmsford, MA on August 5, 2021, after a long illness. He was surrounded by his beloved wife, Betsy, and their four children.

Joe was born on February 12, 1940, in Brunswick, Maine. He was the third son of the late Orville and Evelyn (Ransom) Moody. He married Betsy Blackstone on June 9, 1962, enjoying 59 wonderful years together.

Early in life he started TrusTbuilt Services working as a building contractor and later taught Industrial Arts at Brunswick Middle School. Joes most significant work came as he faithfully served his Savior, Jesus Christ, at New England Frontier Camp in Lovell, Maine where he spent 29 years working as the Camp Manager. During his time there he mentored many boys and young men, giving them a great example of servant leadership. Joes dedication to the local community was seen in his involvement as a founding member of both the Lovell Recreation department and Faith Community Church.

Joe was a beloved father, father-in-law, grandfather, and great-grandfather who loved a good (or even corny) joke and was rarely without a smile. He taught his family and so many about carpentry, model rockets, cribbage, games, puzzles and more. Joe is survived by his children Roberta Johnson, Susan Moody, Brian Moody, and Rebekah Riley; daughter-in-law Kathi Moody, son-in-law Rob Riley, 9 grandchildren, 3 great-grandchildren, and 7 nieces and nephews. He was predeceased by his brother Bill Moody and is survived by his brother Phil Moody.

A Celebration of Life will be held at New England Frontier Camp in Lovell, Maine on Saturday, August 21st at 2:00 pm. Directions can be found at www.nefc.org
