She received her degree from Salem Hospital of Nursing and started her career at Boston Psychiatric Hospital in Massachusetts. She later moved to NYC and worked in the maternity ward at NY Presbyterian Hospital. While living in NYC she met Pasquale (Pat) Taccone and they married September 4, 1954 in Queens, NY. After several years, they moved to Stamford, CT, to raise a family and she began working at Stamford Hospital. Terry later joined Stamford Pediatrics and worked until she retired. Shortly after her husband’s passing, in 2005, she moved to Heritage Village in Southbury, CT.

Terry was a quiet and private person who enjoyed gardening, reading and was an excellent cook. She was a true New Englander at heart and loved the Red Sox. She was a devoted wife, mother and grandmother who loved her family deeply, always inspiring them to work hard, travel and enjoy life. She was a strong compassionate person with a witty sense of humor and lived the values she inspired. Terry touched the heart of many and will be greatly missed.
