Terry enlisted in the Navy following High School Graduation and spent four years serving in Seattle, Washington. After her discharge, she returned home and was employed by Perkins and Son realtors for over 40 years until her retirement.

The family would like to thank the staff and aides at Landmark South for the care and support they showed her at this time.
