Lorace Waldeier, a lifelong resident of Worth County, Missouri, passed away on Saturday morning, October 20, 2018. Lorace was born July 29, 1940 to Carl and Neva King Waldeier of Worth, Missouri. Lorace enlisted in the U.S. Army right after high school and served two years in Germany. Later he and his brother Don had a logging business which lasted for several years.
Lorace’s love was farming and taking care of his animals which he continued until his passing.
On December 26, 1973 he and Virginia were married. They lived in Grant City for 23 years before moving out to the farm where they have resided the last 22 years. He loved everything about the farm including his two dogs which he took for a ride almost every evening in his Polaris.
Lorace will be remembered by many when he was Sheriff of Worth County for 16 years. He served as mayor of Grant City, and was also a county commissioner, jobs which he always enjoyed. He loved working with his law enforcement friends in that field as well as his neighbors with different farming endeavors.
Lorace was preceded in death by his parents, Carl and Neva Waldeier, 2 brothers Duane and Don and Don’s wife Ann, one sister Delores, and son Kelly Young.
Surviving relatives are his wife Virginia, their children, David Young of St. Louis, Jane Thompson of Macon, Missouri, and Cindy Olaughlin of Shelbina, Missouri and their children and grandchildren, his two sisters Elaine Downing and her sons and their children, Connie Eighmy, her husband Mike and their two children, numerous nieces and nephews, and he always enjoyed being around everyone of them.
