She loved cooking, decorating, taking care of people. Even everyday lists had to be colored and decorated. She was generous, kind, loving, active, loved traveling, beaches and the sun. She was vivacious, energetic, people were drawn to her, and wanted to be with her. Any gathering with Terri was fun and lively. She took such good care of you, made sure you had everything you needed and could possibly want. Terri loved to spoil people, especially her children and her brother.

 Her home was always welcoming, comforting and smelled fresh, sweet, a unique "Terri Potpouri." She loved candles too. She lived a full life on her terms in her 38 years. It was her way and no one was going to tell her different.
