Theresa Moses

October 6, 1942 — February 14, 2014

Theresa "Teri" Marie Moses (nee Schroeder) died peacefully in her sleep after an unexpected illness on Feb. 14, 2014.

"How befitting for our Lord to call home our beloved Teri on the day of love." If you had the privilege of knowing Teri, then you know the immense void her passing has created. "While we know she is now with our Savior Jesus and we will meet again," our hearts will continue to mourn for her endearing presence.

Teri was born in Jordan on Oct. 6, 1942, to Dorothy (Bernhard) Meyers and Gordon Schroeder and raised in Roundup. Her stunning white blond locks and bright blue eyes gave away her Norwegian heritage, but it was her genuine smile that everyone will remember.

In 1960, Teri married the love of her life, the wild and talented Jim Moses; together they raised five incredible children on the Rocky Mountain Front in the Flathead Valley. Jim and Teri had just celebrated 54 years of marriage this past January.

Teri had a zest for life, a great sense of humor and an unconditional devotion to family and friends. When she was not tending to others, she could be found in her mountain garden or listening to music. She was rarely without a book in hand and even gave over to the new technology of a Kindle Reader. She was an accomplished electric bass player and relished her time performing and singing in the family band. Teri also had extra special affection for the students and faculty of Swan River School where she worked for 31 years as library/teacher's aide; she never declined a chance to assist with other various children's programs.

Teri is survived by her husband, Jim; their son ,T.J. Moses, and Kiki; their daughters, Jolinda Lehman and Mark, Norma Jones and Lubert, Lorna Hopkins and Bill and Rhonda Moses and Rans; and stepson, Cole Moses. She is also survived by her mother, Dorothy Meyers; her brothers, Jerry Schroeder and Sheryl, Butch Schroeder and Janet, and Pat Schroeder and Chris; and her sisters, Sharon Carey, Jackie Lindsay and Wes, and Kristi Lode and Don.

She was preceded in death by her father, Gordon Schroeder; her youngest brother, Chip Ross; and a granddaughter, Tessa Moses.

She was so proud of her 11 wonderful grandchildren and nine great-grandchildren. Teri also leaves behind numerous loving relatives and friends.

The family wishes to thank all those who gave support, love and continued friendship throughout her life and during her illness.

Family and friends are invited to celebrate Teri's life at 2 p.m. this Sunday, Feb. 23, at the Swan River Community Hall. Please bring any food items you would like to share for the potluck luncheon.
