Theresa Faye Nicholson

Theresa Faye Nicholson, 66, of Daytona Beach, Florida, passed away July 29th, 2025. Terry was born in Leesville, LA, to Don and June Nicholson September 29th, 1958.

Terry grew up in Pleasant View TN, before leaving home and beginning a career as a flight attendant, as she loved to travel and see the world. Terry was an animal lover. She grew up with horses and she was her happiest and truest self when she was riding. She was definitely a dog person, and had many dogs throughout her life, all of whom she loved dearly. Her most recent dog, Austin, meant the world to her. He was a constant in her life and remained loyally by her side. She would regularly say that her biggest accomplishment in life was her two children, who she loved very much, and both of whom she was so proud.

Terry was a beautiful, adventurous and vibrant person, who touched the lives of many people who knew her. She was a light to so many. Terry will be remembered for her outgoing personality, her big heart, and her glowing smile. She loved being active, and could often be found hiking, out for a run, or just walking on the beach. She was a proud breast cancer survivor and looked forward to the future.

At her core, Terry was a kind and compassionate mother, daughter, sister, partner, and friend. Those who knew her and love her take some comfort in knowing that she leaves her struggles behind and is now at peace.

Terry is survived by her parents, Don and June Nicholson; daughter Alexandra (Chris) Landburg; son, Max Anderson; sister Donna (Tony) Collier; Aunt Wanda (George) Bracy; loving partner Charles Diederich, and many more dear friends and family members.

Terry's wishes were to be cremated, details regarding a Celebration of Life will be announced at a later date.
