Terry Goralski Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Jansen Family Funeral Home & Cremation Services on Mar. 12, 2025.
It is with great sorrow that we announce the passing of Terry Lynn Goralski. We mourn the loss of a remarkable woman and celebrate the life of Terry Goralski. She was a beacon of light in a world that sometimes seemed dim, and her story is one of resilience, love, and unwavering commitment to her family and God.
Born on October 20th, 1961, to Joyce and Harold Shenberger, Terry was a wonderful wife, mother, daughter, and grandmother. She married the love of her life, David, in 1986 and spent over 40 years together with their two children. Terry was a devout Catholic who enjoyed many things, such as music, arts and crafts, sewing, gardening, animals, learning, and, most of all, spending time with family.
Terry is survived by her husband David, children Adam (Sarah) and Stephanie (Spencer), and beloved grandchild Curtis. She is also survived by her sister Jennifer and brothers Tim, Harold Jr., Randy, and Rick. She was preceded in death by her parents, Joyce and Harold, and her brother, Jim.
Terry will be remembered for the love she brought into our lives. May her legacy inspire our faith in God and our love for everyone. A celebration of life will be scheduled for later this year. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions can be made to the ALS Association in memory of Terry by clicking here. Arrangements entrusted to Jansen Family Funeral Home - Columbiaville.
