Terri Soule Obituary

Terri Soule passed away October 12, 2010, in Healdsburg, surrounded by her loving family and friends. Terri was a 4th generation Californian born August 23, 1941 in Long Beach, CA to parents Irene and Elden Gillespie. She is survived by her son, Jeff Bishop, grandson Josh Stanz, granddaughter Karina Bishop, and loving partner Keith Jobson. She was preceded in death by her daughter, Shereen Bishop. Terri loved people and life and was always there when someone was in need. Though she was only 5 feet tall, she had an indomitable spirit, and a heart the size of Mt. Shasta. She drew wisdom from every adversity she faced and there were many. The family was blessed by the many dear friends who gave their support. They would also like to thank North County Hospice for their loving care and support. A service will be held graveside at 11 a.m., Tuesday, October 19, at Oak Mound Cemetery, 601 Piper, Healdsburg. Contributions may be made to North County Hospice, 205 East St., Healdsburg, or the American Cancer Society.

Jeff, your mom was an amazing woman. She touched many hearts, mine included. I don't know what I would have done without her back when I was getting clean. You have all been in my prayers. May Terri rest easy and you be comforted in your grief by her love.
God bless,
Cheryl Poulsen
