Terry was a gentle and caring person with a pure heart. She was so many things so many people; for some, she was a shoulder to cry on, for others she was the voice of reason, and yet for others, she was the encouragement needed to get through a trial. She embraced everyone regardless of their walk in life. It was her nature to be supportive and encouraging and many learned to use their obstacles and setbacks as stepping stones because of her encouragement. Terry was a woman of faith and her favorite scripture was Psalms 23. More than anything else, she enjoyed spending time with family.
