Terri was preceded in death by her father Donald Hill, father in law Lyle Bartlett, grandparents, aunts and uncles.

Alongside her high school sweetheart, she nurtured and raised a caring and loving family. Love and strength are two words that speak to who Terri was. She loved her family, connecting with others, and going on adventures. Terri always chose to see possibility and potential in others and the world around her. For 22 years, Terri traveled the country as a flight attendant and what brightened her days most was bringing her family on vacations. Terri and Mark loved music and attending concerts. Everywhere the family drove, there was a CD container full of great music often including genres of country, light rock, and classic rock.

Terri then chose to pursue a career in helping others. She finished her bachelor's and master's degrees while raising three boys. Terri was always beloved by her coworkers, clients, and community members. Terri made it her mission to put her love and strength into meaningful endeavors. Timeless memories of Terri include her smile, positive outlook, humor, and often being the loudest cheerer at basketball games. 

“Trust the God of every blessing, 

Who is good in every way, 

To rest his hand upon you 

And bring you joy today.”
