Terry Wallace was born on December 23, 1954, in New Orleans, Louisiana transitioned to be with the Lord on May 24, 2025, in Houston, Texas.

Terry was a true woman of God, who loved the LORD. She was known for being a great cook and was loved by all her siblings, children, grandchildren, nieces and nephews. While her passing was sudden and sure to leave a void in the hearts of those who loved and were touched by her. We ask that you remember the good times she shared with each of you and rest in comfort of knowing she is at peace with her eternal Father.

She is now resting with her mother and father Oda Mae Wallace and Ishmel Wallace Sr., along with sisters Claudette Foster, Savannah Johnpire, and brothers Ishmel Wallace Jr. and James Pierre. Terry is survived by her siblings, Morris Wallace, Angelina Wallace, Paulette Wallace, and children Rickey Wallace (Tammy Wallace), Josh Wallace, Amelia Wallace, April Wallace, and Terranika Wallace (Derrick Hicks) all who she has had an impact on and will live on through them and the generations after which includes 13 grandkids: Patrick, Bronson, Terrell, Naylon, Nathan, Kasmyn, Kaniesha, Terrin-Jacob, Chase, Kaiden, Khloe, O'Shea, Kyndall, and her fur grandbaby Koffee all of whom she loved dearly.

She will forever be remembered for her big heart generosity and comforting presence and the ability to bring everyone together with a good meal and heart-felt love. She leaves behind a family that will continue to honor her memory with the same grace and resilience she showed in her life.
