Tera Lynn Obituary
Tera is survived by her beloved husband, David Forrest Clapper, her mother, Patricia Ann Young, and her stepchildren, Jacob and Michael (Jill) Clapper. She was also a loving grandmother to Adeline and Forrest Clapper as well as an aunt to Sadie Elizabeth Aaron. Tera was preceded in death by her father, Victor Gary Peed, and her brother, Daniel Lee Aaron.
Tera had a successful career in the beauty industry and owned her own Nail Salon in Excelsior, MN. She was a member of Westwood Community Church, where she found solace and inspiration.
In her free time, Tera enjoyed reading the Bible, rollerblading and ice skating, caregiving, music, and traveling to the tropics. She had a zest for life and embraced every moment.
A memorial service will be held at Westwood Community Church in Chanhassen, MN on November 30th at 11am. Contributions in Tera's memory can be made to the National Multiple Sclerosis Society, Westwood Community Church, or David Jeremiah Ministries.
May Tera Lynn's soul rest in peace, and may her memory be a blessing to all who knew her.

Tera was very concerned about caring for her family, especially her husband Dave and her mom, Patricia. She was a devoted Christian who would reach out to anyone she met, talk and pray with them. Giving was as natural as breathing for Tera. How many gifts are in my apartment that remind me of Tera. Her main characteristics were concern and love she showed for anyone she met. May the Lord bless her generously.

I will always remember the long looks that she would get as she walked through a crowd of cowboys at country West... she was usually leading and I was following...
So I got a good look at the gaping mouth and wide eyes of many young men - thinking they just saw an angel! On earth!

I learned a little bit about how to witness from Tera as she became a strong believer in Christ, and I always was, but I have a hard time witnessing and telling others about God´s gift! I fumble over my words and feel like a grade school witness.
She had a grasp of the Bible, and the verses to repeat .... We shared a love of Christ, and knew that only by the grace of God, we would be saved from our sins. We are both children of the most high God. and grateful to be so.

Lately we got together and started to rollerskate and rollerblade. I actually just bought some rollerblades this past spring and never got a chance to use them with her. She told me what kind to get and I have two pairs now! I am basically a Roller skater and have my own rollerskates. I go to Princeton because it´s only about a 20 minute drive for me. A couple of times I would meet Tera down near Minnetonka somewhere and take her all the way to Princeton and then back to her car because she was having trouble driving at night but could do it if she was close to home..... we always enjoyed those drives back to her car when the sun was setting and the sky was beautiful.... I really would love to have more time to share with her...

Tera made me laugh or smile constantly.... She wore Tatiana perfume, and it became my favorite.
We would get ready to go to dance in Rockford and she had impeccable make up and hair-do skills! I was always ready before her because I didn´t know how to do my hair....
We would head to Rockford, where I would love to go ride the electric bull at Country West and she would love to rock `n´ roll right next door at Rockford house! We had our favorites! But we were still together, and we were still friends!
