Kerala Moore, 49, went to be with the Lord on November 11, 2016. She passed peacefully at home with her husband and four boys by her side. She had been diagnosed with ovarian cancer three years earlier, shortly after she and her family moved to Williston. Yet Kerala continued to be a joyful, resilient person, drawing strength from her relationship with Christ and the love of her family and dear friends.
Kerala was born in Casper, WY on August 11, 1967 to Dale and Naomi Hitz. She grew up in Wyoming, with four siblings. She was a precocious child, learning to read, essentially on her own, at age 4. Even as a child, she had a strong leadership ability and a gift for influencing others. One person she had an influence on was Jason, whom she met at chiropractic school in Davenport, IA. Jason was attracted to her cute, petite frame, her keen intellect, and her joyful love for the Lord. They were married March 10, 1990, shortly before they graduated.
They opened a practice together three years later, in Western Montana. They weathered many struggles over the years, including career setbacks, financial losses and even marital separation for a time. With God’s help, however, they overcame those hardships and learned to treasure each other and flourish together again as a family. They moved to Williston in the spring of 2013, where they have seen, along with difficulties, His kindness poured out on them and their sons in many wonderful ways.
Though Kerala was a doctor, she loved being a stay-at-home mom, homeschooling each of the boys through eighth grade; and she could most often be found in the kitchen or her garden, working cheerfully to provide amazing quantities of food for her growing boys. Her kitchen was always the happiest room in the house! Kerala had a way of bringing the reality of her faith into her everyday life and relationships, sharing her wisdom and being willing to pray with someone whenever she encountered a need. She will be greatly missed.
Kerala is survived by her husband, Jason, and their four boys, Joel, Daniel, Ian and Thaddeus; her parents, Dale and Naomi Hitz, her older brother, Nathan (wife Sarah), her younger siblings, Lael (wife Lourdes), Laerki (husband Enrique), and Axel (wife Da’Nell), and 14 nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by her infant sister, Glenda.
