Terri's heart was in her home and her kitchen. She loved cooking and took great pride in teaching her family the traditional recipes that had been passed down through generations, and the amount of food she cooked was as big as her heart, always sharing food with friends who stopped by and because her kids always wanted leftovers.

Terri was a vibrant spirit and had a timeless sense of style. She was a woman who always carried herself with grace and elegance who never failed to wear her earrings and a smile. She enjoyed listening to her oldies and Mexican music.

Above all, Terri cherished her role as a Nana. She was deeply devoted to her children and grandchildren and was always supportive, accepting, and encouraging. Her steady loving presence was there to celebrate every milestone and offered comfort through every challenge not only to her family but to countless others who have been welcomed into her home.
