I had the pleasure of working  with  Terry  at  T.C.U. She was a fantastic  O.T. very  caring and  loving person. She  loved her job and her patients  loved her.Always went that extra mile to please them and buy things on  her own. And another thing about Terry  she was a fantastic  Baker  always making us cakes and salads. She will be greatly missed .

I had the great pleasure of working with Terry at TCU.  I admired her for her kindness, her patience and her gentle caring nature.  I also had the pleasure of catching Terry at the mall after her retirement, having just completed an art project with her granddaughters.  She was beaming and the children were delighted and proud of their work.  It was so sweet. 
Terry will be missed by many...I am grateful to have known her.

First I would like to send my sincere condolences to Terry’s family and to all of my coworkers who along with myself had the prevledge of knowing and working alongside her for many years.  Terry was a very special lady who always did her best to please and to do her very best work with her patients. She was kind, sensitive, thoughtful, caring and especially loving to everyone she was in contact with.  I don’t believe there was a mean bone in her body.  I never heard an unkind word from her lips about her coworkers or her patients ever. Her job in her mind was to please and to be her sweet self.  I had the honor and privilege to care for her at TCU last year and spend a couple of days with her trying to comfort her.  She was trying to be so brave.  My heart was breaking but I did try to be cheerful and uplifting for her.  I will always consider her a blessing in my life and a woman to be admired.  God has his arms around her now and she is at peace.  I will miss you Terry. Love Leslie

I’ve had the pleasure of working with Terri at TCU. She was so nice and caring to the patients and was so good to work with and was always so helpful and knowledgeable. I will never forget Terri and so sad that she has passed away from cancer. She will be terribly missed. 

I had the utmost pleasure of working with Terry at the TCU. She was always a very gentle, kind and thoughtful person to both her patients and co-workers.  She was such a caring person that it was sometimes difficult for her to leave work without knowing that everything and everyone was okay. Terry was such a wonderful cook and I enjoyed eating her delicious creations. I will miss her very much. 

As a PT I had the pleasure of working with Terry at the TCU. We would occasionally evaluate patients together, and it is there I could observe her kind, thorough, and caring approach to patient care. In addition to being a caring OT, she was an amazing cook and baker! She would frequently bring in her wares in large quantities to share with all. She was adorable, would always have some  witty comment on her creation, both good and bad, she owned it! She new her strengths and her weaknesses and had no problems sharing this with her TCU family. She was adorable, easy to relate to and so kind. She was family.  She will be dearly missed by me, but knowing she had a strong relationship with God, is comforting.
 Wishing all her friends and very supportive family, peace and comfort during this very challenging time. Love  Beth 

I had the privilege of working with Terry at TCU. It was during care conferences , not one of Terry ‘s favorites 😊 that I saw her love  and gentle spirit in action.  She did her work with excellence. Where she  especially shined was in her love for God,  her sweet family and her friends of which I  counted myself as one. I miss you girlfriend!! 

Thank you Terry for the best gingerbread that I ever had I’m sure the secret ingredient was Love. You are so kind and patient to everyone 

Terry was my OT partner for many years, at the Everett Transitional Care Services.  She had a phenomenal memory for our past patients' names, and a wry sense of humor.  She delivered completely unexpected, subtle one-liners in morning rounds that made everyone laugh, and was unfailingly kind and gracious .  Terry was also a friend,  and after she retired we met  every month or two for lunch down at Ivars where we shared tales of our children and grandchildren.  Terry was a fine and gentle human being; I will miss her very much .
