Lots of great memories of Aunt Terry. Lots of fun times and laughs at Bass lake. She will be missed by all.

I love when I would accompany my mom, who is a resident at Benet Place, to the musical groups that entertained the residents. They are ALL great but the one I loved to watch was Terry! You could tell she was having a ball & loved her music. I know she will be missed by everyone whose lives she graced. Know that you all will be in the thoughts & prayers of many. May God bring you peace as you remember this beautiful woman.

To a vibrant and lovely woman who has accomplished so much in her life. May there be a Hoot N Anny happening as you are welcomed into the gates of Heaven!
