Teresa "Terri" Gayle (Todd) Rice, of Trenton, Texas, passed away on August 22, 2024, at the age of 68. Terri was born on April 14, 1956, to parents James Todd and Beverly Parr in McKinney, Texas. She married Ronald Coleman Rice on July 25, 1975, in Trenton, Texas.
Terri was a fighter and battled COPD. She fought so hard over the last few months. We would like to believe we stole as much time for her as we could. We know she is no longer in pain and was welcomed by Ron, Miranda, and so many family members and friends.
Terri loved music, flowers, and animals. Her rose bushes and flower gardens were something special. She was always willing to tell a joke and make you laugh. Her Skeeter misses her terribly.
Terri will be remembered by her children, Misty of Denison, Texas, and Ronnie Rice and wife, Laura, of Greenville, Texas; grandchildren, Lindsey Stone and partner, Dusty, Jonathon Stone, and Makayla Caloway; great grandchildren, Hazel and Jemma; mother, Beverly Parr; siblings, Keith Todd and Sharen Rhea and her husband, Bill; longtime friends, Shawn Smith, James Smith, Riley Smith, and Rick Stogsdill; and a multitude of family and friends. She was preceded in death by her husband, Ronald Rice; daughter, Miranda Caloway and her husband, Bryan; son-in-law, Mike Stone; father, James Todd; and sister, Denise Todd.
The family will welcome guests to a visitation from 4-6pm, Tuesday, August 27, 2024, at Turrentine Jackson Morrow Funeral Home, 201 W Maple Street, Whitewright, Texas 75491. A graveside service will be held at 10am, Wednesday, August 28, 2024, at Oak Hill Cemetery in Whitewright, Texas.
