Terri worked for many years with Hope DAC and the Tracy ECCO caring for disabled adults. She truly had a heart for service and cared deeply for other people, which was evident in her work. Terri retired about a year ago.

Terri expressed her artistic and creative side through arts and crafts, primarily painting. She also spent time embroidering and making quilts. Terri had deep faith and love for the Lord and was a faithful member of the Marshall Efree church. More than anything Terri loved being a grandmother, spending time with her grandchildren, and spoiling every chance she had.
