Terri Baker Hendryx

Terri was born on November 8, 1961, the second child of her loving parents Donald and Dolores (Broderick) Noonan. She grew up in Omaha and attended Holy Ghost Catholic School and graduated from Gross Catholic High School.

She was a gift to the tight-knit Noonan family and her siblings became her best friends and partners in mischief for life. She adored her parents and was blessed to have their love and presence beside her for all of her days.

Terri found her purpose in life when she became a mother to Jeremy. She had too much love to give, so God blessed her with her first daughter Angela. God finally completed her heart by giving her Nicole. She filled their lives with sunshine and happiness and gave them everything she could give and then gave more.

She lived for her kids, but more recently the true loves of her life- her 3 grandchildren. She created a grandkid’s paradise with the pool, trampoline, tractor rides, and a fairy garden. She loved bringing them to do pottery, taking them to Fun-Plex, Lauritzen Gardens and New Year’s Eve at the Durham. She left them with many traditions to carry on in her memory.

Terri met her love, Ronald, two decades ago, and was given unconditional love every day since. She made a home with him on their beautiful acreage that she loved to breathe life into with flowers and planting vegetables and a pumpkin patch for the kids. They canned and gave away a jar of salsa to anyone that entered their house. They traveled together and created beautiful memories. With Ron, she gained a dear friend, his daughter Ronalda (Mike) Ballard, and two grandchildren, Mason and Charles.

She was a memory-maker and strove to bring fun, joy, and spontaneity into the lives of everyone she knew. She threw a party for every occasion she could find an excuse to. She loved her annual Easter egg hunt, outdoor Halloween movie nights, pool parties, girls nights with her grade school and high school friends, and crafting parties. She was loved immensely by all three of her children and grandchildren and treated their friends and their friends’ children as her own. Her door was always open to anyone needing an ear to listen to, a hug, advice, or- most often- a laugh. She could make a friend anywhere she went within minutes- and often did, inviting just about everyone and their kids over for a swim at the pool.

Terri is lovingly remembered by husband Ronald Hendryx, Son and daughter-in-law Jeremy and Kara Baker, and grandchildren Micah, Baylor, and Jada; daughters Angela and Nicole Baker (Brent Bockert); parents Donald and Dolores Noonan and siblings Rick (June) Noonan, Jack Noonan, Dave (Kay) Noonan and Kim (Todd) Pestal and niece Rebecca as well as many other friends and family, including dear friends, the Goforth family.

Welcomed into eternal life by the children’s father, Michael Baker, and lifelong best friend Cindy Goforth.
