A devout parishioner of Holy Rosary Church, Terry was an active Lector, Rosarian & member of the Senior Group.  Deeply religious, she attended Mass daily and was often the last one to leave church after mass because she had to make her rounds to all the statues in church, lighting candles and saying a special prayer to each.
