Terry Colwell Obituary

64, entered the world on March 2, 1956, and passed away on October 9, 2020. A Lexington native, Terri spent the majority of her life in central Kentucky. A pillar of her family, the honors of her life were being a daughter, a sister, and an aunt to those she loved most. Known by many of her closest friends and family as ‘Summer Breeze,’ her quest in life was to connect with all living beings through a collective love for music, nature, and good food. She will be fondly remembered for her excellent cooking, contagious attitude, inquisitive mind, and unapologetic spirit. Her family and friends will miss her tremendously. She is survived by her mother, RoAnn Royse of Nicholasville, sisters Evie Royse and Deborah Cox, and her niece Amelia Bishop (Cox) and husband, Derrick Bishop. She also leaves behind her beloved pets Cody and Coco. In lieu of a service and flowers, it’s kindly requested donations are made to Wolf Run Wildlife Sanctuary or Lexington Humane Society.

I would just like to say she was a very special person, and she’ll be missed very much by a lot of people.
She was a the true definition of sweetness, kindness and love.
A very nice person to work around my very last memory was visiting her on the Farm, she’d moved from city life to rural life. She thought she was gonna be very happy there at the farm with her Pets, and family!

Terri was our “mom” at Applebees. She lived across the street from me and several others of us that worked there. She was always helping and taking care of us. It just breaks my heart that she is no longer with us. She was a gem and a beautiful light to many of us. My condolences to her family. We loved her very much!

I shared an image I wanted to edit.. it is Titled The Goddess in her Garden.. I wanted to have this printed as a gift for her ..a get well present not farewell The Nurturing Goddess Athena
She reminds us that all life is precious, and that we can connect with, build relationships and learn from the other beings with which we share the Earth. This epitomizes our Terri Sue.. it shows her heart and her beauty!
Without her light this world is a much darker place!

So many memories throughout the years. I first met Terri Sue when I was at Sound Co. picnic in Louisville. She worked with my husband. She was so lively and fun she was her friend Beth. Over the years we have been friends we worked together as Data Entry operators too.
I am still in shock over her passing and want her mother, RoAnne, sisters Debbie & Evie and her beloved niece Amelia to know how much I loved this woman & friend. A shared friend of Terri's & I said though he could feel how much we loved each.
Terri I will miss you every day of my life and remember you always.

TS, as I called her, was an online friend for many years. We do get to know those we have never yet met in person. She shared my joy at finding my love late in life, then losing him. I know Summer Breeze is dancing among the stars and watching over those she held dear. May peace come to the hearts of her close family and may your good memories sustain you.
