Terrie is also survived by ten grandchildren, who adored her and lovingly referred to her as Nanny and Nanna Terrie – Riley, Audrey, Carter, Ruby, Nora, Charlotte, Noah, Wyatt, Drew, and Madison. Terrie’s family was so proud to call themselves hers because she was a loving and selfless wife, mother, sister, and grandmother.

Terrie was a 1978 graduate of Petersburg High School where she loved participating in the band.  She received a Bachelor of Arts degree from Shepherd University and her master’s degree from WVU. She was a teacher at Petersburg Elementary for 13 years and she touched the lives of hundreds of students with her love, care, and dedication. She was an active member of the First Baptist Church where she participated as a deaconess, Sunday school teacher, and was a member of the American Baptist Women and praise team.

Terrie had a special heart for those that needed it most. She loved her family and had a deep love for her many pets, including cats, dogs, and goats. Despite her illnesses, Terrie was a fighter and she fought fiercely until Jesus took her home.

Terrie decided to continue helping others by donating her body to the WVU Registry.
