Terri Sue Burgess, 66, passed away on September 8, 2025. She was born on October 3, 1958, and lived a life centered around kindness, quiet strength, and the things she loved most.
She believed in God and carried her faith in her own personal way, finding peace and comfort in life's simple blessings. She enjoyed the beauty of nature and loved watching movies, which brought her joy and relaxation.
She is survived by her two sons, Joseph Brian Smith and Patrick Andrew Smith; and her two sisters, Kathy Berry and Vicki Huber. She will be remembered by her family and friends for her gentle presence, her warmth, and the love she shared.
Her memory will live on in the hearts of those who knew her, and she will be deeply missed.
