Terrell "Terri" Pauling-Fadely Obituary

Visit the Menke Funeral & Cremation Center - Sun City website to view the full obituary.

Terrell Ann Pauling-Fadely of Peoria, Arizona, passed away peacefully on Sunday, October 12, 2025, at the age of 81.

She was born in Chicago, Illinois, and is survived by her husband, David Michael “Mike” Fadely; her children, Keven and Wendy; 14 grandchildren; and 9 great-grandchildren.

Throughout her life, Terrell’s greatest passion was her love for dogs. She was a lifelong animal lover who believed she had never met a bad dog. Her entrepreneurial spirit led her to open a pet shop called Kintas, followed by several grooming businesses that she owned and operated with dedication and care. She was known for her compassion, often rescuing stray animals and ensuring they were well cared for, sometimes even at her own expense.

Terrell embodied hard work, determination, and independence. Her family will remember her strength, humor, and honesty, as well as her tireless devotion to the animals she loved so deeply.

She will be greatly missed by all who knew and loved her.
