Terri Moore Obituary

Terri Denyce Moore was a resident of Clarksville, Indiana. She was born on October 26, 1963 in Louisville, Kentucky. Terri passed away on September 12, 2025 in Clarksville, Indiana.

She worked as a Sous Chef at Churchill Downs until she was diagnosed with Cancer. While at Churchill Downs she was able to pursue her passion for cooking and food presentation.

As a child, Terri professed her faith in Christ and joined the Mount Vernon Baptist Church in Louisville, Kentucky, where her father was the pastor and who baptized her. Later, while living in Atlanta, she became a member of Christian Fellowship Baptist Church, where she continued her faith walk. Above all, Terri loved and acknowledged the Lord in her life.

In her free time, she enjoyed solving crossword puzzles, watching scary movies, and spending time in the kitchen creating new recipes with her mother as her “taste-tester”.

Terri leaves behind a loving family and many cherished friends. She is survived by her son, Matthew Spencer Moore; her brother, Michael Lawrence Rhea; her sister-in-law, Donna Dale Rhea; her nieces, Tayler Imani Rhea and Mya Autumn Rhea; and her nephew, Skyler DelMichael Rhea. Her mother, Lorena M. Rhea, mourns the loss of her beloved daughter while treasuring the joyful memories they shared. She is also remembered by her aunts, Sarah Minnis, Barbara Stone, Nan Montgomery, Gloria Moore, and Betty Moore; her uncles, George Moore and Chris Montgomery; and many cousins, friends, and other loved ones that join in to mourn Terri’s passing.

She is preceded in death by her loving father, Reverend L. C. Rhea, whose absence continues to be felt by the family.

It was Terri’s wishes to be cremated with no services.

" My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever." Psalms 73:26
