Terrance “Terry” Moses
Terrance “Terry” Moses, formerly of Sitka, passed away in his home at Wildflower Courts in Juneau on November 13, 2020. He was 58.
Services will be held in Sitka at 11 a.m. Friday, November 27, at the Sheet’ka Kwaan Naa Kahidi community house.
His final resting place will be at Sitka Memorial Park.
Terry was born to Mazie Margaret Moses in Clarkston, Washington, on December 20, 1961. While raised on the Nez Perce Reservation in Lapwai and Kamiah, Idaho, he was immersed in the First Indian Presbyterian Church, which would be his lifelong support from an early age.
He moved to Sitka in August 1979 to attend Sheldon Jackson College to study fish hatcheries for the Nez Perce Tribe but fell in love with the Alaska waters. Terry spent the next 40 years employed by Alaska Commercial Fisheries, Crabbing, and Northwest Coast Art.
Being raised as a traditional Nez Perce, Terry had a high regard for cultural activities. He enjoyed hunting, fishing, language and dance, and he passed on his skills and knowledge to his daughter and grandchildren.
Terry was preceded in death by his mother Mazie Moses; sister Susan Seven; his brothers Edward Moses and Douglas Moses; his grandparents Lillian and Elias Moses Jr.; his aunt Elvira “Tweet” (Floyd) Hendren; his uncles Gabriel Moses, Norman Moses and Lester Moses; his father-in-law, Richard Marvin Sr. and brother-in-law Richard Marvin Jr.; and his nephew, Calvin Siems.
Terrance is survived by his wife, Martha Moses; his children Teresa Moses and Teryn Moses Vantrease of Boise, Idaho; his grandsons Andrew Lawrence, Eli Lawrence, Camden James, John James and Terrance James; his aunt Mariam Queen; his sister Leslie (Liam) Randall; his nephews Edward Randall and Evan Randall; his “favorite mother-in-law” Vera Marvin; sister-in-law Donna (Bill) Trivett; brothers-in-law, Wayne Marvin and Dwayne Marvin Sr.; and numerous loving brothers, sisters, nieces, nephews and cousins.
