Teresa May Moulton

Teresa Moulton passed away peacefully in her sleep on Tuesday, October 14, six days shy of her 93rd birthday.  Mom was born to Joe and Irene Watterson on October 20, 1932 in Nampa, Idaho.  The oldest of seven, she took her role as big sister very seriously and dearly loved all her siblings.  She was raised at a variety of locations in the treasure valley, graduating from Homedale High School.

Teresa married Philip Moulton on her birthday in 1951 in Ontario, Oregon.  They had 3 children that kept her very busy, as well as helped Dad with their farming operation.  She enjoyed being involved in her children’s activities of scouting and 4-H.  When we were older Mom went to work outside the home as a bookkeeper; most of her working years were spent at Tom Morris Equipment in Homedale.

She was a very talented seamstress, cook and gardener; particularly known for her cinnamon rolls, pies and potato salad.  Mom enjoyed crocheting in her later years and made over 1,000 baby hats for newborns at St. Alphonsus Regional Medical Center.

Teresa leaves behind her children, Michael and wife Becky of Savannah, Georgia, Denise Stark of Meridian, Idaho, and Clint and wife Debrah of Wilder; three grandchildren, one step grandson, six great-grandchildren; sisters Louise Thompson and Susan Pritchett, brother Fred Watterson, and numerous nieces and nephews.  She was preceded in death by her parents, husband Phil, sisters Marge Kay and Glenda Uranga, brother Bill Watterson, and son-in-law Gary Stark.

The family would like to thank the staff at St. Alphonsus Regional Medical Center in Boise for providing such outstanding care and compassion for our mom in her final days.

A Celebration of Life luncheon will be held on Friday, October 24 at 12:30 PM, at Flahiff Funeral Chapel in Caldwell.  Memorials may be made to a St Jude’s or a favorite charity.
