I met Terri while I was student teaching and we became very close. She was an amazing person who just wanted to serve, love others and be loved in return. I lost touch with her which was something I always regretted. I was actually searching through the internet for her to get back in touch and sadly came upon this heartbreaking news. My prayers are with her and her sweet daughter. Teri I am so sorry that we lost contact with each other. You were a dear precious lady and I smile when I think of the fun times that we had. To those that may read this, please don't let your loved ones and close friends lose touch, or go without letting them know how much you love and appreciate them. Life is precious and it may be too late. My hope is that I will embrace her again on the other side of Heaven where I know that the Lord is embracing her and saying, "Well done thy good and faithful servant." Rest in peace and know that you touched the lives of many and continue to be loved. I wish that I could tell you that in person but say it now in my heart.

I forgot to send my name for my message that follows Mich Marticci. It was about the times we taught 6th grade at CP and 6th grade camp.

I feel so fortunate to have worked with Teri the past six years.  She taught me many things, but i especially admired her passion for life and shopping!  Her wit, humor, thoughtfulness, and unique style is one-of-a-kind.  It will be hard to look down the hall and not see the bright green frog posted on the door.  I have lots of fond memories, but I miss my friend and colleague.  She was one terrific lady!

we love you Angel and will miss your mom until we meet again on the other sideAunt Monica

We would like to thank everyone who came to the service Friday.  The outpouring of love was overwhelming.  Thank you for the beautiful flowers, the cards, and all of your lovely comments on this page.  We are so grateful that we were able to honor Mom in a special way. 
Love and Prayers to you all.

Angel, Josh, and Gabe, I'm so sorry for the sudden loss of your mother and grandmother. Although I didn't know your mom, Angel, I can see what a positive force she has been in your life. I pray for your peace as you begin adjusting to life without her physical presence.

Ms.Coffey was one of my favorite teachers because she always was cheerful and she made my year in first grade memorable.

??????I'm going to miss my funny friend in purple! An amazing woman, awesome teacher, and a loving friend. I'll see you again someday and we'll have some fun partying in the clouds...

I only got to meet you once, at Josh and Angel's wedding, but you she made a strong impression as a loving mother and someone that genuinely cared about other people. You will be missed.

So sorry to hear of your passing. I worked 8 years with Terri at Castle Park when she taught 3rd and 6th grade. I will always remember how dedicated she was to her students and families. I always envied her room decor. She was a great teacher who cared not only about academics but also about her students' spirits.

Teri, so sad to hear of you leaving us. I want to thank you for all the good times we shared at 6th grade camp and for, even if you did not realize it, the times you mentored me as one of your 6th grade teaching partners at CP. At times it may have seemed like you were not helping me, but you did. I also feel sorry for your family, especially your daughter and grandson I know you loved so much. So sorry.

Terry, 
You were always so kind to me..you will be dearly missed by coworkers, friends and family.  You were a fantastic teacher and I am honored to have been able to work next to you.  Your smile, laugh, hugs and high expectations will never be forgotten...with much love and admiration...rest in peace.

Teri, I'm heart broken over losing you.  You were a fantastic friend and colleague. I have many fond memories of you at Castle Park. We also shared a ton of laughs at our get togethers. I will always have a place for you in my heart. Thank you for the 16 years I knew you.

Miss Coffey was my son Diego's teacher this past year.  She definitely taught my son to be amazing we are blessed to have had her in our lives.  Although are hearts are broken we rejoice that she is with the Lord walking the streets of gold.

Love 
The Bustamante Family

Teri was a cherished friend, teacher and colleague.  She will be missed so much.  Sing on my friend, I love you!

"I will miss you, Ms Coffey!  You were a special special teacher to me.  Thank you for being my teacher!  This message is for the family of Ms. Coffey and her friends: I remember when I took my first AR quiz and she said "Woohoo!!".  She made me so happy when she said that!!!  Heaven has a new angel.  ??? Love,  Audrey Troop ???"   
** Audrey was in her class last year and the words above were all from her heart.  She will always have a special place in Audrey's heart!  You will all be in our daily prayers as you are going through this heartbreaking time... although she will be greatly missed, try to take comfort in knowing that heaven gained an angel (as Audrey stated above) to watch over you. 
Our Heartfelt Condolences,
The Troop Family

I first met Teri in 1990 when I was a beginning teacher at Chula Vista Hills. She was very, very dear to me. A group of us met before school in Teri's 3rd grade room for prayer.  She helped me so much with her wonderful spirit and wise consul as a teacher. Recently saw her in Costco and remember her sparkling, smiling eyes and beautiful smile. My deepest condolences to Gabe, who she was so proud of, and Angel, Josh, and family and friends.

We had the joy of spending many a retreat together along with Ilona and Chris and so many others that loved your mom.  Though it has been a long time since I have seen Terri the sweet memories are there.  Sending prayers for comfort

Josh Angel and Gabe,
Our heart and prayers go out to you. Words cannot express how much we love you and hope you can find solace during this time. Josh, now you have two angels looking out for you.  God bless.

It is hard to even think about Angel, Josh and Gabe without thinking of you too Teri.  I know they will miss you greatly, as so many will.  But I also know that you will be watching over them as always, only from heaven now.

Ms. Coffey you will be truly missed at Allen School. You were such a kind and nice person. Our condolence goes out your family.

Dear Angel,
I met and worked with your Mom 25 years ago when Chula Vista Hills first opened.  In a recent conversation with her, she shared with such pride and love "what you were now doing in life".  Your mother's arms will always be around you, and you will feel her guidance as you live each day of your life.  Blessings to you and your family!

You accepted me into your family and treated me like a son.  I love you and I'll miss you.

Strength and blessing to the family after this difficult loss. Teri, may you spread purple love all over heaven now!! Love you!

I will miss you for the rest of my life. Rest in peace little sister. All my love Diane (big sister)

I miss you so much already, Mom.  I don't know how I'm going to get through life without you.  You were such an amazing woman and I love you so much.

Ms. Coffey was my son Diego's first grade teacher al Allen School. She will be missed and we send our condolences to her family and friends.

The Rico family

Jadyn loved being in Ms. Coffey's first grade class at Allen.  We will miss her very much.
