Terry Lee Wells, 77, of Martville, passed away peacefully at home on Sunday, November 30, 2025.

She was born on February 21, 1948, in Fulton, the daughter of the late Ray A. and Mildred R. (Cordell) Webb.

Terry spent her early years in Hannibal, Canastota, and Morrisville, graduating from Morrisville-Eaton High School in 1966. She later graduated from the Utica School of Commerce in Canastota. Terry has lived in Martville for the last twenty-five years.

She enjoyed reading, growing plants, and going for walks. Terry was known for her incredible generosity and caring nature, always putting others first. As one of ten siblings, she cherished her large, close-knit family and the many joyful gatherings they shared over the years.

She was welcomed into heaven by her parents, and her brother, Larry Webb. Terry leaves behind two beloved sons and a daughter-in-law, Shannon and Jennifer Wells of Chittenango, and Christian Wells of Canastota; three brothers and four sisters-in-law, Ray and Jackie Webb, Keith and Marianne Webb, Tim and Joni Webb, and Particia Webb; five sisters, Winnie Hood, Debra Olcott, Vickie Powell, Tina Webb and her partner, Henry Maciag, Jr., and Kelli Webb; as well as many nieces, nephews and cousins.

At Terry's request, there will be no calling hours or funeral service. A graveside service will be held in the Spring at Mt. Pleasant Cemetery, Canastota. Arrangements are under the supervision of the J. Homer Ball Funeral Home, Inc., 201 James Street, Canastota.
