Terri Janis Moss (Eagar), 77, passed away peacefully on November 8, 2026, in Smithfield, Utah, according to a report published November 10. She was surrounded by her children at the time of her death.
Born in McNary, Arizona, on September 19, 1949, to Lynn Buell Eagar and Larna Lund, Jan grew up in Eagar, Arizona. Her family later moved to Logan, Utah, because her father was given an opportunity to restore and upgrade Church buildings. After a period of living in Nauvoo, Illinois, the family returned to Logan. Following her graduation from Logan High School, she moved to Kanab to begin a career in sewing at Barco.
Jan later moved to Hyde Park, Utah, where she worked for Mode O'Day before marrying Barnett Kay Moss, Sr. (Kay) on a blind date. The couple eventually made their home in Smithfield. In addition to being a stay-at-home mother for part of her life, she worked for several businesses performing sewing and embroidery, and was known throughout the area for her mending and alterations talents.
A member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Jan had a strong testimony of the Gospel and held many church callings, with a particular affinity for working with children. She also utilized her sewing skills to complete humanitarian projects and donate to local charities. She is survived by four children, Sara, BK, Debbie (Lee), and Jeremy, as well as grandchildren Riley Alice (Taya), Halle (Luke), Daniel, Tamsen, and Jake, and siblings Richard, Etta, and Tim.
Funeral services are scheduled for Thursday, November 12, 2026, at the LDS church located at 660 W. 200 N. in Smithfield. A viewing will be held from 9:00 a.m. to 10:30 a.m., followed by services at 11:00 a.m. Interment will take place at the Smithfield Cemetery.
