Obituary published on Legacy.com by Stufflebean-Coffey Funeral Home - Pauls Valley on Mar. 17, 2026.
When it was time to be called home, she made her Creator wait just a minute, which was perfectly on brand for Terri. No one ever told her what to do or when to do it, and she left this world emphasizing that sentiment.
Terri Sissom Webb was born the sixth of seven daughters to Leroy and Adell Sissom on June 1, 1954 in
El Reno, Oklahoma. She passed from this world on March 14, 2026 in Yukon, Oklahoma surrounded by her daughters, her grandchildren, and her sisters. She was preceded in death by her parents, Leroy and Adell; her husband, Larry; her great-granddaughter, Zoey; her sisters, Barbara, Gale, and Carolyn; her in-laws, Cedell, Lucille, and Gary; her nephew, Doug; and various brothers-in-law, cousins, aunts, uncles, and other beloved family members.
She is survived by her children, Mitzi and Greg Lindsey; Crystal and Steven Paizis; Kari and Mike Easley; and Sandy and Bill Harris. Eighteen grandchildren and eight great-grandchildren She is also survived by her three sisters, Linda, Diane, and Debi, along with multiple nieces, nephews, cousins, and many others who loved her dearly.
Terri married Larry Webb when she was just 17 years old. They remained together for 45 years, until Larry's passing in 2017. Together they raised four girls to be strong, independent, affectionate, and hilarious. For a house full of girls, it was certainly a loving home full of wonderfully inappropriate humor.
One of Terri's last jokes said everything about who she was. One of her girls asked what she needed. Terri pulled out her oxygen, announced that she had a booger, and cackled like only a Sissom could at the implication that someone would be getting it for her.
Terri's favorite title in life, though, was Nana. Her grandchildren were the absolute center of her world, and she loved them with a fierceness that only a Nana could manage. She celebrated their victories, worried through their struggles, and made sure they always knew they had someone firmly in their corner. Whether it was laughter around the table, a bit of mischievous humor, or simply the comfort of knowing Nana was there, she made each of them feel deeply loved. To them, she wasn't just their Nana - she was their safe place, their cheerleader, and one of the greatest sources of joy in their lives.
Terri was deeply devoted to her family, but she also gave her heart to her profession as a registered nurse. As a wife and mother of four, she returned to school to pursue her RN degree. There were doubters, but for Terri, doubt was just fuel. She worked hard, stayed determined, and earned her RN in 1999. She went to work for St. Anthony's and never looked back.
Terri's dedication to nursing did not go unnoticed. She was recognized in the Cambridge Who's Who of 2009–2010, which highlights the careers and accomplishments of professionals, for her work as a registered nurse. She also generously gave her time to her community, volunteering with the Red Cross for three years and running the medical tent for the Redbud Classic for two years. Throughout her career, she specialized in cardiac rehabilitation and diabetic education, helping countless patients better understand their health and regain confidence in their lives.
She quickly became the family's pillar of medical knowledge. She helped carry us through so many frightening and uncertain times by explaining the unexplainable, telling us the truth, and squashing well-intended lies. It was all very much "Terri in a china cabinet," but there are many situations we simply would not have survived without her. With her professional skill and her gift for making people laugh, she helped heal not only her patients' bodies, but their spirits too.
Terri was tough, funny, fiercely loving, and impossible to forget. She did not tiptoe through life, and she certainly did not tiptoe out of it. She leaves behind a family who is stronger, louder, wiser, and funnier because she was ours.
Terri is now reunited with the love of her life, Larry, and we like to imagine her holding her great-grandbaby Zoey in her arms once more.
