Terri Jean Pletcher, age 56, of Wyoming, Minnesota, passed away peacefully on Thursday, November 6, 2025, following multiple health complications.

Terri was born on April 19, 1969, in Minneapolis, Minnesota, the beloved daughter of Gerald and Jeanette (Leske) Pletcher. She grew up in Forest Lake, where she made lifelong friends and proudly graduated from Forest Lake High School with the Class of 1987.

After high school, Terri pursued her passion for beauty and creativity by attending beauty school, becoming a licensed hair stylist. She spent several years in the industry, bringing smiles and confidence to her clients. Later, she worked at Rainbow Foods in West Saint Paul, where she was known for her friendly personality and warm spirit.

Terri had a deep love of music and was always up for a good concert—especially when it came to her favorites, Neil Diamond and Keith Urban. She also cherished road trips, with Itasca State Park holding a special place in her heart as one of her favorite destinations.

Terri’s kindness, sense of humor, and love for her family will be remembered by all who knew her. She was preceded in death by her father, Jerry. She will be deeply missed by her mother, Jeanie; brother, Todd; aunt, Joyce Leske; uncle, Ron (Lorene) Pletcher; as well as other dear relatives and friends.

Terri’s family and friends will always remember her for her warmth, laughter, and the joy she brought to their lives.
