Eugenia "Jeannie" Faye Terry, 75, of Englewood, TN went to be with her Lord and Savior on June 21, 2025.
A devoted member of Antioch Baptist Church in Benton, Jeannie lived her life with unwavering faith, unconditional love, and a kind heart that never judged and would show you her love no matter what. She dedicated her life to her family as a loving homemaker, always finding joy in the simple things-crafting, making jewelry, while watching Gunsmoke in the background.
Jeannie had a beautiful voice and loved to sing. Her greatest joy came from time spent with her grandchildren, who brought light to her life. Known for her ever-present smile and positive spirit, even during life's hardest moments, Jeannie was a beacon of hope and encouragement to all who knew her.
She will be deeply missed and fondly remembered for her warmth, her faith, and the love she freely gave.
Preceded in death by her father, Ted Eugene Kennedy; mother, Imogene Howard Kennedy; and sister, Doris Rogers.
Survived by her husband of 43 years, Walter Terry; daughter, Regina Malcom; son, Kevin (Rachael) Terry; grandchildren, Autumn (Jacob) Link, Riley (Dixie) Malcom, Brooke Terry, and Silas Terry; brother, Kendall (Susan) Kennedy; sister, Cheryl (Saul) Monroy; and many other friends and family whom she loved so much.
