Terry was a loyal employee of Dr. Logullo’s office in Centralia for many years, working as the dentist’s right-hand lady by caring for patients that spanned several generations. She was organized and efficient, ready to take on any task. Terry enjoyed flower gardening, taking time to pick out the perfect combination of flowers to brighten her yard. She tirelessly cared for the many hummingbirds that visited her feeders. She was an avid reader who was always on the lookout for the next book. Terry was grateful to be a wife and mother, making it her goal to have a warm and welcome home for her family. When she was blessed to become a Nana, her grandchildren filled her heart with an overflowing love. She knew the rewards of the simple joys in life, with family being at the top of her list. All who loved Terry are saddened by her passing and will remember the goodness of all the wonderful memories they made together.
