October 25, 1960 - March 20, 2022 Loris Kaye (Nesbitt) Moen of Spokane, WA, passed away March 20, 2022 after a brief battle with a glioblastoma, a fast-growing cancerous tumor of the brain. She was born on October 25, 1960 in Spokane, WA to Robert and Marie (York) Nesbitt. She graduated from Rogers High School in 1979. Lori went on to attend Spokane Falls Community College and Eastern Washington University, and also studied in Mexico. She graduated with a BA in Spanish Language. For most of Lori’s adult life she worked with children. During her time with the Cerebral Palsy Foundation in the Los Angeles area she was not only a therapeutic counselor in families’ homes, but also served as a communications liaison between Hispanic families and the Foundation. During her adult life Lori owned and operated three separate home child care centers in Spokane. She cared for and nurtured many children, several of whom continued their relationships with Lori after leaving her centers. Lori had a passion for animals. She kept numerous farm animals, birds and pets throughout her life. Her animals were a delight and a joy to her. One thing Lori especially looked forward to was spending holidays with her family. She also enjoyed antiquing and going to garage sales. Camping in southern Idaho with her family was another favorite activity. She had a devout faith in Jesus Christ her entire adult life, and hung on to her hope in Him with a positive outlook throughout the illness she suffered the past few months. Lori is preceded in death by her grandparents on both sides and her beloved Aunt Delores (Harrah). She is survived by her husband Mark Moen, daughter Danielle Nesbitt-Brailey, son Mark (Buddy) Moen Jr., grandchildren Aidan, Cylus, and Miloh Abghari; parents Robert and Marie Nesbitt, brother Rick Nesbitt and wife Katie Nesbitt, sister Jill (Nesbitt) Weiler and husband Randy Weiler, cousin Teri Moore and wife Jackie Birtles and numerous nieces and nephews. It was a blessing to Lori to have her grandchildren with her at the end of her life. The grandchildren spent many meaningful hours caring for her and showing her love. The family would like to recognize Lori’s dedicated, long-time friend, Robert Maruca, who was at her side and caring for her to the very end. A memorial service will be held at Calvary Chapel in Mead, WA on Thursday April 28 at 3:00 p.m. In lieu of flowers, please make donations to the Humane Society of Spokane.
