Terri Fletcher Obituary

Terri Lynn Fletcher November 23, 1963 - April 29, 2024 Ms. Terri Lynn Fletcher made her debut on November 23, 1963 born to James D. and Maxine Fletcher in Washington DC. She left us after battling cancer fearlessly and peacefully on April 29, 2024. Terri spent her life for family and mostly resided on the Western slope. It's difficult and not realistic to believe we are even writing this as life cannot be imagined without Terri. Terri was a light of sense of humor at all family events she made the party laugh hysterically for hours to the point of no turning back. She was a mother, a daughter, a sister and a friend. Her glowing beauty could be seen with brightness, uniqueness and she loved hairspray and make up the girly things she even was a model for a portion of her life! Terri loved her cats, her children, her family, her nieces, nephews and most of all the small things. Her style was to stroll in casually, let loose and have fun! Why can't we all live that way, there would be no worries at all! As Terri's illness developed she continued to fight many physical and silent battles. She never gave up. She is survived by her mother Maxine Fletcher sister Debbie and brothers JJ and Keith and her sons Jeremiah Harris and Jordan Ortego and multiple nieces, nephews and cousins. As Marilyn Monroe would say, "We are all of us stars, and we deserve to twinkle." Terri you deserve to twinkle and until we meet again your legacy will live through and shine on! A celebration of life will occur at New Covenant Baptist Church on May the 18th, at 1130 am, service and lunch to follow.

We were close in the 80´s; dancing, singing, no worries in the world, just fun and giggling!! We got lost in Utah once, scared of a hitchhiker we passed. Did we think he could run 65mph? LOL!! Many moons ago, Beverly Crowley and I sang at your wedding to Rocky. We really do have some history! One thing I´ve always known, but with your passing, it has come to the surface: Life is short! We need to dance, we need to sing, we need to laugh, and most of all, we need to love one another! Today I will honor you....until we meet again Terri....

As newbies to Grand Junction and no family close, we were blessed to be a part of a church that made us feel like family. Terri, and the rest of her family, was always gracious to us, and Terri treated our girls like they were special. She´ll be missed greatly here on earth but is celebrating in heaven now.

I never thought I would be writing this at this point in my life, I thought you would always be around at least to where we were older in life. We shared a lot as sisters and you were always my protector and my guide as we were growing up. You always let me hang around even though I could be the annoying younger sister you never said no when I asked to tag a long. There is so much more I could say , I love you and miss you and can´t wait to see you again at the pearly gates of heaven.

I took Terri to Country Jam one year... we always had so much fun together!! She was in my car and I had the display that showed what song and artist... she looked at the display, and with a panic in her voice, "Stacie, the Police are around here and they have us Surrounded" We laughed for so long when I explained to her it was a song by the Police.

Terri was one of a kind! She is the first of my paternal cousins to pass away and she will be sorely missed. She was always a breath of fresh air, always smiling, and always made us laugh. I think her secret mission in life was to make others feel special and loved. She always had a bright smile and a funny comment whenever I saw her. She was always the "kids´ table" kind of person, enjoying spending time with the younger kids even though she was older than us. I remember visiting one time when I was a kid and Terri was going out on a date. I asked her why she was eating a sandwich beforehand if she was going out to eat and she said it was so she wouldn´t be too hungry and pig out in front of her date! I thought that was hilarious but it made total sense to her!! As I got older I took that advice myself a few times!
Terri, It´s bittersweet to know you´re gone. I´m glad you´re no longer suffering and in pain, but it stings the most to those left behind. We miss you cuz! But you´ll be in our hearts forever.
Love, Melissa <3

I don't think I could have ever made it through high school if Terri hadn't been my friend. She made things fun, and I will always remember her laugh. It was contagious!! We shared so many good times, and I am thankful I have those memories to fall back on now. I'm grateful God saw fit to bring Terri into my life. The world is a little less bright and a little more sad now that she doesn't inhabit it, but now I look forward to meeting her in our eternal home one day.
I miss you so much, friend!!

Terri, there will never be another you. You took a piece of my heart when you left us on Monday morning, April 29th.
You fought a tough battle with the enemy, cancer!
God heard our plea for help and, mercifully, took you home. Our Father knows and sees the heartache you left behind. We look to reunite one happy day over yonder. Eternal love, your Mom
