Terrell Jefferson Moore, 86, peacefully passed away at home surrounded by family on September 17, 2025. Terrell was the son of Alva Jefferson and Ellen Maxine Pay Moore born September 1, 1939, and was one of five children.
He married Normagene Hadlock on February 19, 1965, in the Salt Lake Temple. Terrell and Normagene were blessed with four sons.
Terrell served in the National Guard. He worked hard to support his family as a custodian in public schools and was employed at Cherry Hill Elementary School in the Alpine School District for many years before retiring.
He enjoyed fishing, horses, and tinkering. Terrell collected all kinds of miscellaneous treasures, and it was hard for him to part with any of them. Terrell tended to a big garden and grew pumpkins each year for the grandkids. He was very sociable and engaged with those he met. He loved to spend time with friends and especially his family.
Terrell is survived by his three sons: Daren (Dianna), Douglas, and Ryan; his eight grandchildren: Spencer (Jordan), Riley, Trevor (Jaiden), Xander (Melisa), Preston, Amanda, Lydia, and Bryson; and his five great-grandchildren.
He was preceded in death by his beloved wife Normagene, son Dale Scott Moore, brother David Moore, and brother-in-law Robert Beebe.

September 26, 2025 at 4:51 pmBro. Moore is remembered by my children and wife as one of the best home teachers we ever had. My children are adults now but they were very active little children when he visited us years ago. They never really sat still while Bro. Moore shared a message. Yet they would reference his “stories” for weeks after. He was always prepared for my kids and he was always interesting to them. When I told them he died this week they instantly started talking about stories he told them. Bro. Moore was a friend to me and my entire family. In our house he’s remembered as a great man.
