Terri Janis "Jan" Eagar Moss

Terri Janis Eagar Moss, 77, passed away peacefully on November 8, 2026, in Smithfield, Utah, surrounded by her children. She was born in Eagar, Arizona to Lynn Buell Eagar and Larna Lund on September 19, 1949.

Jan grew up in Eagar, Arizona and lived there until her family moved to Logan, Utah for an opportunity her father was given to restore and upgrade Church buildings. While she was in high school, the family moved to Nauvoo, Illinois, for a short time while her Dad worked for the Church doing Historical restoration. He died suddenly from a heart attack and the family moved back to Logan. After graduating from Logan High School, Jan moved to Kanab to start her career in sewing, working at Barco.

Jan moved to Hyde Park, Utah where she worked for Mode O’Day. Later she met Barnett Kay Moss, Sr. (Kay) on a blind-date. They fell in love and married the following March. Jan joked that she became the “Wicked Old Stepmother”, to Kay’s oldest kids Debbie and Jeremy. Kay and Jan later welcomed three children, Sara Jo, B.K. (Barnett Kay, Jr.), and Lynn Eagar. After Lynn was born, Jan quit her full time job to be a stay-at-home mom doing seamstress piece work and day care. The family moved to Smithfield where they made their home. She worked for several businesses sewing and doing embroidery. Over the years, many people knew of Jan’s sewing talents and brought their mending and alterations to her.

Jan was a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. She had a strong testimony of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. She loved learning and studying the scriptures. She held many church callings. Working with children was always her favorite calling. She also used her talent for sewing, doing countless humanitarian projects and donating to local charities up until her passing. She was always willing to give and serve others.

Jan loved a good laugh and enjoyed people. She was a quick friend to everyone she met. She was a great listener. She accepted people from all walks of life, saw the good in everyone and genuinely loved them. If you knew Jan, you know she had a love for Coke, her red Mustang, and most of all her family.

She is preceded in death by her parents, her husband Kay and son Lynn. As well as four siblings, Carol, Jack, David, and Jim.

She is survived by her four children, Sara, BK, Debbie (Lee), and Jeremy. Her grandchildren, Riley Alice (Taya), Halle (Luke), Daniel, Tamsen and Jake. Siblings; Richard, Etta and Tim.

A special thank-you to her doctor, Natalie Gibson and the staff at Wholelife Family Wellness who took such good care of her. As well as Sharvin, Rip, Walker, and the rest of the staff at Ascend Home Health and Hospice who filled her last days with love and laughter.
