Terry was a long time resident of San Antonio where she lived and enjoyed life mainly on the northeast side. She graduated from Theodore Roosevelt High School in 1979 and started working at Luby’s Cafeteria of San Antonio. She remained a loyal employee for 42 years until the Lord called her to rest.

She loved to BBQ and cook up her special dishes like spaghetti, fettuccini alfredo, and savory beef fajitas that everyone always requested. She also enjoyed making “cascarones” and hosting holiday parties. She loved watching lifetime movies and visiting the “pulgas” on the weekends. She really liked dipping her feet in the water and relaxing at the lakes and rivers. She was always there for her family and friends and would not hesitate to lend a helping hand, even if was the last dollar in her wallet. A few other passions were her beloved dogs, leaving the house spotless, and visiting her sister at the ranch.
