Terry will always be remembered as a loving wife, mother and friend. She will always be known as Nan and Gigi to her grand kids and great grand kids. Terry loved to laugh and enjoy life; and it was contagious to all those around her. She put a smile on the face of all those around her. She was the most happiest when she had all her family around her. Some of her favorite memories were family baseball trips to No. Adams, Massachusetts and Cooperstown, NY along with a family reunion celebrating her 75th birthday! Whenever anybody told her I love you…..fittingly her response was always “Love you More”!
A private family-only service will take place at Sleepy Hollow Cemetery in Tarrytown, NY.

Thank you for being my friend and second mum… you will be missed at target
Always and forever until we meet again… love you dearly and no pair of shoes is enough !!!
I loved Ms. Terry. She was my favorite person to see in the mornings at TJ Maxx. We would laugh and compare lipstick or lipgloss. If anyone knew Ms. Terry, they knew she wouldn’t be anywhere without her lips on. She said I helped her find her new favorite perfume Prada Candy Kiss because I wore it almost everyday and she just loved the way it smelled. She made sure she asked for it for her birthday just last year. I miss her smiling face already.
Nan will definitely be missed. I use to call her Diva for to me that is what she was. Not a day would go by and her hair was not perfect and those nails of hers. She was beautiful inside and out. May she rest in eternal peace. ❤ Tracy.
