During her tenure with the Post Office, Terri encountered a vast number of people. She often referred to and treated them all as her second family.

One of Terri’s greatest passions was spending time with her family. She never missed an event or special occasion that involved one of her family members and was and will always be an integral part of their  lives. Anyone that new Terri knew that the most important part of her life was the love of her Savior Jesus Christ. She was never hesitant to share not only His love for her, but His love for others as well. She was known to have a boldness to share the true gospel of Jesus. Terri was truly an example of God’s hands and feet. She was  quick to share and even quicker to give to anyone in need. She supported countless charitable organizations. Terri is a lifelong member of Jackson Revival Center.
