Mary Gallagher Obituary
Sister Terence held a B.A. degree in education from Mount St. Mary College, Hooksett, New Hampshire. She was a dedicated educator who taught in New Hampshire, Massachusetts, and California. In New Hampshire, she taught at St. Patrick School, Nashua, St. Mary Academy, Dover, St. Mary School, Franklin, St. Mary School, Claremont, Our Lady of Perpetual Help and Westside Regional Catholic, Manchester. In Massachusetts, she taught at Holy Family School, Lynn, St. Ann School, Gloucester, and Holy Trinity School, Harwich Port. In California, she taught at Our Lady of Perpetual Help School in Newhall.
Sister Terence enjoyed teaching and her inspiration among the students was long remembered by those who kept in touch with her in their adult years. After leaving the field of education in 2001, Sister Terence volunteered as a senior companion with the New Hampshire Catholic Charities Community Action Program until her retirement in 2009. She was an avid Red Sox fan and enjoyed attending "Nuns' Day" games at Fenway Park.

Sr. Terence was an absolute delight! She was my first grade teacher at OLPH. Her bright smile and infectious spirit made school a welcoming place. Lessons in the class and kickball on the playground, she was the best. I saw her a couple of years ago and she sang the Lord of the Dance. I hope she is still singing and dancing. May she rest in peace.

Sr. Terence had a banner across the wall in her classroom that read, " Bloom where you are planted". She lived this. My children went to West Side Catholic, and I met her there. We lived across from the old St. Joseph Cemetary on Donald Street in Manchester and I often saw and chatted with her while she tended the Sisters of Mercy graves there. She became a friend, was a great influence in my life.
