Frank's Maria Charlotta STOLPE, who went by the nickname of Maja, was born on 12 May 1915 in Skillingmark, Värmland, Sweden. She died on 26 Dec 2004. During the last 10 years of her life, she suffered two heart attacks and five strokes, the last of which rendered her paralyzed and unable to speak for 4 years. She spent the final 4 years of her life on a feeding tube at the family's second home in Sandy, Utah, where a team of three nurses provided her with around-the-clock care. Frank continued to commute to his full-time surgery post in Houston. Her obituary appeared in the 27 Dec 2004 Desert Times (Salt Lake City) and read as follows: Maria Charlotta Moody, lovingly called Maja by her family and all her many friends around the world, died on December 26th after a long, productive, and wonderful life. Her passing was as in life, peaceful and in the arms of her husband and in the presence of her family. Maja was the 8th of 11 children born to Alfred and Hilda Stolpe in Skillingmark Sweden on May 12th, 1915. She attended the local schools in Skillingfors, and Arvika, Sweden for her primary education. While living with her Uncle Fritiof, Aunt Helga, and cousin Ann Marie Johansson in Edane Sweden, she attended high school in Kathrine Holm, where she studied homemaking and domestic skills. She used this background to good advantage in the home of Consul General Johnson. During World War II, she was active in administrative work within the Swedish Defense Ministry, and subsequently as an administrative assistant in Hapsberg Sweden. It was at that time in the early 1950s that she decided to pursue her dream, which was to come to America. It was quite a coincidence that one of her family members had spent a few years in Salt Lake City, and was able to tell her what a wonderful place it was to live. We are blessed that this has become her final resting place. Maja arrived in New York City after passing by the Statue of Liberty on February 14, 1955. She then moved to California where she worked as a cook for a few years before establishing her own career as a cosmetologist in San Francisco. It was here that she met her husband of 40 years, then a young Assistant Professor of Surgery at the University of California in San Francisco. After a period of time at the University of Alabama, Maja and Frank, with their three children moved to the University of Utah School of Medicine where Frank assumed the role of Professor and Chairman of the Department of Surgery. In 1983, Maja and Frank moved to Houston, Texas, where Frank became Chairman of the Department of Surgery at the University of Texas, where he currently works. The Utah years were wonderful years for the Moody family, living at the Top of the World on Kings Hill Drive, and enjoying all the gifts that Utah provides in such abundance. As the children grew older and started to leave the nest, Maja embarked on a fourth career, that of an artist. She was often called upon to display her musical talents, having been born into a musical family, but she never had had the time to demonstrate a second unique talent, the ability to paint. In order to prepare herself, she enrolled in Art 101 at the U. of U., and while she was discouraged initially from taking the course, she took it anyway and was fortunate in having Tony Smith as her teacher. It was not long before Maja was painting almost 24 hours a day, and within a few years had a one person showing in New York, and subsequently exhibited her unique paintings in Sweden, Capetown, London, and Salt Lake City. She proudly became a United States citizen on August 28, 1997. Maja leaves behind three children, Anne, Frank, and Jane, and six grandchildren, Donald, Megan, Frances, Rachel, Bruce Tyson, and Bryce. Her daughter, Anne Mjaatvedt, J.D., Ph.D., is an attorney living with her husband Dr. Corey Mjaatvedt, Ph.D., a developmental biologist at the Medical University of South Carolina in Charleston. Her son Frank Wilson Moody is a computer programmer and is married to Wynne Smith, Director of Development at the S.J. Quinney College of Law at the University of Utah. They reside in Park City, Utah. Jane Bjorklund, Maja's youngest daughter, is a clinical trial coordinator for multiple sclerosis studies at the University of Utah, and is married to Bruce Bjorklund, a teacher at Juan Diego Catholic High School in Draper. Maja was very proud of her children and their accomplishments in life, and the love and tender care that they in turn provide for their children. Maja was the last to pass on from her immediate family, but is survived by a cousin, Ann Marie Johansson Lundeen of Edane and Stockholm Sweden, and two nieces, Christina Fogmark, of Bluma Sweden, and Nina Stolpe of Texas, to whom she has remained close. The Moody family gives special thanks to Rosa Silva, Raquel Luz and Marcia Pinkermann, who gave Maja such loving care in her final years. A Memorial Service will be held at the Community of Grace Presbyterian Church, 2015 E. Newcastle Drive, Sandy, Wednesday morning, Dec. 29 at 10:0 am graveside service will follow at Larkin Sunset Gardens Cemetery at 1950 E. 10600 S. for those who wish to attend. In lieu of flowers, please donate to the Stolpe-Moody Trust, 2913 E. Legacy Park Lane, Salt Lake City, 84093, which is being established for developing a Music and Performing Arts Center at Tomta, her Swedish Home in Klassbol Sweden, and for medical charities at the discretion of the Trust in the years ahead.

He was 88. Moody was internationally recognized for his research and surgical treatment of diseases of the digestive system with special emphasis on peptic ulcer, gallstones, inflammation of the intestine, and the treatment of morbid obesity.

He spent more than 30 years as a professor of surgery at the University of Texas in Houston.
