Terri grew up in the small town of Buffalo, Missouri. At the age of 17 she joined the Army reserves, serving overseas in Desert Storm. She was very proud of the time she spent in the military, with her unit and fellow service members. She moved to Texas shortly after, where she had her twins, Kaci and Lori. Her world revolved around them--they were her pride and joy. Her goal in life was to shape and build them up to be independent, successful individuals. She built a very successful career in the IT field, which led her to North Carolina and later to the California bay area. Terri, Kaci and Lori later followed their hearts back to Texas.
Terri easily welcomed people as friends and loved every one of them as family; inviting them to her home for food, drinks and fun. She hosted the best gatherings and seemed the happiest when everyone around her was laughing and having a great time. She loved to cook and share her wine. She wanted most for everyone to remember her in a good light, the happy times, and love without judgment.
