With heavy hearts and loving memories, we announce the passing of Loretta (Lori) Mae Sanders (Moore), who left this world on July 14, 2026, in Grove City, Ohio.

Born on February 3, 1953, in Prescott, Arizona, to Richard Moore and the late Mary Wasson Moore, Lori lived her 73 years of life on her own terms - as a free spirit, a generous heart, and a love for adventure. She found her greatest joy outdoors, whether she was tending to her beloved flower gardens, or just relaxing by the pool. She had a deep appreciation for life's simple pleasures and embraced every opportunity to make lasting memories.


She loved the open road and everything it represented. Harley-Davidson motorcycles held a special place in her heart, and few things made her happier than cruising with the top down in her convertible, rock and roll playing and the wind in her hair. She enjoyed sharing a glass of Jack and Coke with friends and family, where stories, laughter, and cherished memories flowed as easily as the conversation.

Football season was one of her favorite times of the year. A devoted Ohio State Buckeyes fan, she proudly cheered on her team every chance she got, celebrating every victory and standing by them through every season. Her Buckeye pride was just another reflection of her loyal heart and spirited personality.


Lori leaves behind her loving family; Big bro, Robert Moore, daughters, Lisa (David) Bell, Crystal (Bryan) Baker, grandchildren Broch (Ashley) Baker, Ryan (Taylor) Baker, Debra and Sierra Bell, Jordan (Haile) Baker, great-grandchildren, La-Riyah Carter, Henry McCreary, Jeremiah McCreary, Magnolia Baker, Opal Baker, all who will forever cherish her memory. She was preceded in death by her mother, Mary Wasson Moore, sister, Debra Moore, and niece, Penny Moore.

Though she may no longer be here to ride beside us, her spirit will forever be found in blooming gardens, sunny afternoons, the unmistakable rumble of a Harley-Davidson, the excitement of an Ohio State football game, and every rock anthem that reminds us to live life unapologetically.
