Celebration of life: 12:30 p.m. Wednesday, April 3, in Moore Memorial Chapel. Visitation: 6 to 8 p.m. Tuesday at Moore Funeral Home.
Archie was born to Lafayette "Hart" Lantz and Elizabeth Lantz on June 23, 1918, in Tishomingo, Okla. He was the last remaining sibling of 12 brothers and sisters.
With graceful attention to duty, Mr. Mote heroically served his country in the Army's Pacific theater in World War II.

After his retirement, he became a masterful gardener and a skilled wood crafter.
Archie was a faithful member of the Seventh-day Adventist Church of Arlington. He was a devoted Christian and Bible scholar. He will be missed by all. The family is however comforted in the knowledge that his life was lived beautifully.
Survivors: His loving wife of 67 years, Laura Jean Miller Mote; devoted children, Virginia Byrd (husband Jack) and Archie Steven Mote (wife Linda); three grandchildren; six great-grandchildren; and innumerable grieving nieces, nephews, neighbors and friends.
