Arlyce was born on May 1, 1944, in Waukegan, Illinois, the daughter of Kenneth W. and Anne E. (De La Barre) Treitline. Their family moved a few times as she was growing up (New Leipzig, IL, Milwaukee, WI, Caledonia WI) but Arlyce was able to spend her high school years in Mott, ND, where she graduated in 1962. She then went on to college at Valley City State College in Valley City, ND, where she got her teaching degree in 1966. She taught PE in Shawano, WI, & Schofield, WI, from 1967 to 1969. While acting as a bridesmaid for a good friend from college, she met Eric B. Moody. The two were married and moved back to Valley City, ND, in 1970. Their daughter, Michelle, was born in 1973. They stayed in Valley City until 1976 when a career opportunity had the three of them moving to Grand Forks, ND. While in Grand Forks, Arlyce worked as a tax preparer for H&R Block part of the year and as an office manager for Crystal Sugar for part of the year. She had summers off to take care of their daughter, garden, and, most important, FISH! She was a member of Sharon Lutheran Church in Grand Forks and was a member of the Lions Club. They retired to Clear Lake in 1996 where she continued her love of gardening and fishing. The two of them traveled off and on through the years to wherever Michelle was working as well as visiting Arlyce's brothers and Eric's sisters.
She is survived by her daughter, Michelle (Mark McDaniel) Moody of Chaska, MN; her sisters-in-law, Esther Schlueter of Pierre, SD, and Evie Treitline of Thief River Falls, MN; and many very loved nieces and nephews.
She is preceded in death by her husband, Eric Moody; her parents; and her four amazing brothers.
