Terri Lanita Dryden Rouse

Terri was born May 29, 1952 in Oklahoma City, OK to Chuck and Nita Dryden. She attended Midwest City High School. Terri was most passionate about things that allowed her to use her mind and be out of the spotlight. Reading was her favorite pastime, often burning through sacks full of books in a week. She loved almost all things crafty to include: flowers, sewing, crocheting, and baking. A sewing machine and a hot glue gun were always within easy reach. She loved to sit and listen to music for hours while doing puzzles. Terri was blessed with 7 grandchildren, and loved them all dearly. In her life, Terri was known for her love of riding on the back of the motorcycles across the country with her husband. She also loved her time as a law enforcement officer and routinely reminded people that dynamite came in small packages. She has been known to take down her husband and son with just her fingernails.

She is survived by her parents Chuck and Nita Dryden of Greenville, TX; aunt Maxine Wheelan (Mom #2) of Midwest City, OK; sister Debbie Boose and husband John of Greenville, TX; sister Diane Bellah and husband Paul of Rowlett, TX; son Donnie Manning and wife Christina of OKC, OK; six grandsons Tyler, Noah, Nicolas, Zachary, Jonathan, Christian; one granddaughter Katlyn and her only and favorite nephew Shaun. Terri also leaves behind her beloved cat and confidant Indi.

Terri was preceded in death by her husband James Rouse and daughter Donna Chandler.
