She was a graduate of McLaren Hospital X Ray Technology 1984 and graduated UM Flint Radiation Therapy 2006. Terri's passion for life, family, faith and profession was her trademark...her motto was "Do what is right not what is easy". She was a beautiful, humble, compassionate, determined, smart, loving, and  giving person who believed that 110 percent effort was the norm not the exception. She felt her good fortunes in life should be appreciated and not taken for granted...her family and her number one priority and if they were happy, she was happy. She loved to travel and learn the history and culture of the places she visited and would make sure she took in a museum visit or two at each destination... Her disposition was sunny, her demeanor reserved, and her loyalty was without question. She carried herself with dignity and showed respect to everyone. Her family and friends will carry with them fond memories of a special person who touched their lives in a positive way. She will be greatly missed by all who know her. Especially her loving husband Oliver; sons Ryan (Amy), Jonathan (Shayna), Oliver Drew; grandson Ryan (RJ) and siblings Debbie Abbey (Larry) and Jim Green, she also had very close relationships with her Aunt Kathy Lyles, RJs mom, Lynsie Kuehne, and her quasi-little sister Georgia Croke who will miss her dearly. One of her favorite expressions was "It's nice to be important but it's more important to be nice". She was truly a gift to us, and she will be cherished forever.  Arrangements by Sharp Funeral Homes, Fenton Chapel, 1000 W. Silver Lake Rd., Fenton, MI 48430.
