The Flagstaff community is mourning the tragic loss of Angela Moody, a cherished friend of Sister Wives star Janelle Brown and a beloved wife, mother, and grandmother. Angela’s passing has sparked an outpouring of grief, love, and reflection, with many drawn to an emotional tribute shared by her husband.

In his message, her husband described recent weeks as some of the most painful yet strangely love-filled moments of his life. Angela had quietly battled personal struggles that few fully understood. For the past seven years, she endured a harrowing fight with opioid addiction—a struggle that gradually took her away from the person she once was.

“To the opioid pandemic and those who overprescribe: you stole her,” he wrote, conveying the heartbreak of witnessing a loved one consumed by a crisis that has affected countless families across the nation.

Despite her personal challenges, Angela displayed remarkable strength and unwavering dedication to her family. Each day, she faced her struggles with resilience, caring deeply for her husband and their son, Isaac. She cooked, cleaned, sang, gave gifts, and did everything she could to keep her family’s spirit alive. Her husband emphasized that Angela always gave her best, even in her darkest moments.

Angela’s warmth extended beyond her immediate family. She was a devoted grandmother whose presence brought joy to her granddaughters’ lives. She read to them, played with them, and nurtured them with love, making them feel cherished and adored.

The community’s response to her passing has been profound. Family, friends, neighbors, coworkers, and even strangers offered meals, messages of support, donations, prayers, and acts of kindness—bridging divides of gender, race, religion, and politics. Angela’s husband expressed deep gratitude to everyone who helped support them during this unimaginable time, including the Flagstaff Fire Department, Flagstaff Police Department, Norvel Owens Mortuary, Calvary Cemetery, and their circle of close friends and extended family.

Closing his tribute with words of faith and love, he reflected on the intertwining of suffering and love, emphasizing that great love often comes with great sacrifice.

Although the family has not released full details, it is publicly understood that Angela struggled with opioid addiction and passed unexpectedly. She leaves behind a legacy of compassion, devotion, and selflessness.

Angela Moody is remembered as a loving wife, devoted mother, adoring grandmother, and loyal friend. Even amid her personal struggles, she continued to give generously of her heart. Her absence leaves a profound void in the lives of all who loved her, and her memory will be cherished forever.
