Terrance Edwin Hatch, was born February 4, 1918 in Swan Lake, Idaho, the son of Edwin Pace Hatch and Ethel Gooch.

When he was six years of age, his family moved to Cove, Utah, where he grew up with his siblings on a farm.

He graduated from North Cache High School in 1936, and attended Utah State University for one year. He then served as a missionary for two years, for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, in the North Central States Mission. Upon his return, he continued his education at Utah State University, graduating in 1943 with a Bachelor's degree. He then served his country as a Naval Officer in the Pacific, where he was Executive and Commanding Officer for a group of Landing Craft Tanks in the Marshall Islands.

Terrance married Helen Michaelsen on August 26, 1944. Together they raised three children.

Upon returning to civilian life, he started his career as an educator, first as a high school teacher and counselor, then as a high school principal. From 1951-1954, he attended graduate school at the University of California (Los Angeles) and graduated with a Doctor of Education Degree.

Dr. Hatch was a prominent Utah educator. That year he joined the faculty in the College of Education at Utah State University, where he had a distinguished career as a teacher and administrator. He had chaired more graduate student committees than any other University Professor at the time of his retirement in 1984, after a career of more than thirty-five years in public education.

He was a life-long member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints and served in many callings. At the time of his death he served as a High Priest.

He is survived by his wife, two sons, and one daughter, eleven grandchildren, and 13 great-grandchildren. He is also survived by two brothers, and one sister. One brother, Myron Hatch, and three sisters, Agatha Allen, Leona Miller, and Darlene Richman, preceded him in death.
