I met Terry before she started working on the pipeline and I worked with her at PS9. One thing I laugh about today is Terry answering the Alyeska phone system with a very professional but dripping female sexy voice. We all laughed when we heard that voice.
She always had a great outlook on life, handled problems one at a time and never let anything get her down.
I know we all still miss this goofy but lovable woman, especially her family.

Condolences to family and frinds. We bought the Leigh Denniston homestead in 1970 and have lived on the homestead since July 1974. Terry was our closest neighbor and friend for more than 30 years until she moved to Valdez. Before we got commercial power, Terry would plug her car into our generator power when extremely cold. I also worked on the pipeline with Terry for many years. She always pulled her share of the load. Rest In Peace friend.

I met Terry during the March Madness back in the early 90's. She was a lot of fun and often had us all in stitches. As a Controller she was always professional and a big help to the field Control Room operators. She will be sorely missed.

God Blessing on Terry's family as you mourn her passing. I remember Terry fondly and was able to share a laugh or two. I remember her telling me it is not RubinCON. She said to me remember "I can, you can, Rubincan" She was a lot of fun and I hope that you can smile after the tears dry. RIP Terry.

WE are going to miss you lady, I enjoyed our time together laughing and joking around. We always said you can take the girl out of Delta but you can't take the Delta out of the girl. You were a unique individual Terry and I will never forget you. Joel Westerlund
