Terrence Lloyd Moise-Hansen 

December 3, 1947 - July 11, 2025 

It is with heavy hearts and deep love that we announce the passing of Terrence Lloyd Moise-Hansen, a hardworking and generous man who was known and respected by many, especially along the Pow-Wow Trail. Surrounded by family and love in his final days, Terry left this world having lived a full and meaningful life.

Terry shared his life with his beloved wife, Marlene Moise-Hansen. He was the proud father of Pamela Hansen (Roy Conrad), and a loving stepfather to Marlene’s daughters, Lynette Brass (Phillip) and Tricia Brass (Mike). He also raised his cherished granddaughter, Rayne Brass (Edward), as his own.

He was a devoted Papa to seven grandchildren: Savanah Brass-Windigo, Taniesha, Maliah, Kingston Brass-Windigo, Rayne, Shyanna, and Tyreese Brass. He also leaves behind six great-grandchildren who loved and respected him deeply: Edward, Dominic, Issac, Greyson, Luna, and Gracie.

Terry was a man who believed in staying busy and making the most of each day. He found the most joy when surrounded by family—from the oldest to the youngest. He was always someone people could count on.

In 2002, Terry met the love of his life Marlene, and they were married in 2004. In 2003, Terry and Marlene started a food service business called Minnie’s Grill, which became a beloved part of the Pow-Wow Trail for 21 years. Known for his tasty food and warm spirit, Terry served Elders, Dancers, Singers, and all who gathered to celebrate. He was always ready to lend a hand to fellow vendors and made many lasting friendships over the years.
