My big sister, Mildred was very upset with me when I told her I was going to be a spinster.  I don't remember  exactly what she said, but just that she was upset with me.


We send heartfelt sympathy to Mildred’s family, knowing she leaves you with many sweet memories. I (Bobby) enjoyed my visits with her; she was always gracious and ready to share stories. Our prayers are with you.

Mr. & Mrs Terrell were such sweet precious people. I was very good friends with their daughter Tina in the first grade. They invited me along to go on a trip to Georgia. It's funny, I cant remember where we went...and it may have been to Six Flags...but what I do remember is how much fun we had on our way there. They were laughing and singing and the four of us had such a good time. I will always remember that trip as one of the precious memories of my childhood.

Mildred Terrell was my 2nd mother for 52 years. Most would have called her mother-in-law. I called her my mother-in love. There was never doubt that she and Buddy loved me.  Tina was only 5 when we married, so I have a special love for her as well. God gave me this family, and I’ve always cherished our sweet and hard times together. God is good, and Mildred will live in my heart always. 

My sister Mildred, whom I loved dearly, was always a steady and dependable family member even when everyone else was going crazy over something.  She was so beautiful and with a spirit to match.  Jesus gained a precious member to his family  when she left ours which will never be the same without her.



Mrs. Terrell was by far my favorite teacher of all time. She encouraged me, not only in my lessons but in my life.  She always taught us to be professional, courteous, and kind to everyone we came in contact with. She urged us to be individual, explore new territory in both the academic life and our personal lives.  My favorite memory was in 1981. She was conducting a computer programming class in which we were studying binary code. She became really frustrated one particular day because most of the students weren't grasping the lesson and admitted that she too was somewhat baffled by it all. So as not to be disrespectful, when the class was dismissed, I approached her and told her I felt like I was born understanding the lesson. Something about  it just made sense to me in a way I couldn't explain. She hugged me close, said " God bless you child. Will you teach this class for the next few days until we can all grasp it." Within two days everyone was on board and she once again in charge of her class. Good times, great lady, true gift from God. She Will be missed.

Mrs. Terrell was my high school typing and shorthand teacher in the late 1960’s.  I fell in love with her then.  She helped me get student loans and grants which enable me to go to college. Of course I majored in business education, like Mrs.Terrell.   In recent years I visited as often as possible, talked with her a couple times a week, and attended her wonderful 90th birthday party.

I can not say enough about this lovely, strong, beautiful, dignified lady.  I loved her dearly.  I will miss her so much especially our conversations about politics. 

What a gentle and strong woman.  I know you will all miss her presence in your daily lives, and yet,  I rejoice with you, that although she is absent from the body, she is at home with the Lord.  Will keep you in my prayers Tina and family.

Such precious memories of Mrs Terrell - she always made me feel welcomed & at home when I saw her.  She always had a smile and an encouraging word.  So thankful for her Christian example & influence on my life.  She will be missed. — Praying for everyone during this time.   Much love!

Mrs. Terrell was one of my favorite teachers. Fifty-nine years ago (1961) she was my 10th grade typing teacher and as editor of the school newspaper my senior year, she was our advisor. I am truly grateful to have had such a wonderful role model. 
My thoughts, prayers and deepest sympathy in your loss. 

Mrs. Terrell was a very special Lady.  I will always remember our trip to State with our basketball team.  She left me with many wonderful memories.  She was such a fine Christian Lady who made me want to be a better person.  I loved her & Mr. T as well as Bobby & Tina.  God bless your families during this difficult time.  I wish I could share in her final departure but realize that's not possible.  RIP my sweet friend.


Tina and family,
Heaven is a sweeter place with sweet Mildred there. She was always caring for her Sunday School ladies. Her many calls and visits to my Mother, Susie Goodwin, were always appreciated by our family. Prayers for peace and comfort and sweet memories in the days ahead.

One of my absolutely favorite teachers . So blessed to have been taught by  Mrs. Terrell.  Praying for you all.

I had the privilege of having her as my typing teacher at Cullman Vocational Center.  This skill has stayed with me throughout an accounting career. Little did I know, typewriters would soon become computers.  Mildred also became my friend after high school.  We shared a love for Christ.  I will miss my teacher and friend.

Mrs. Terrell was one of my favorite high school teachers. She was an excellent teacher who taught not only school subjects; but more importantly, she taught us about life.  Many years later, we enjoyed several trips together with a travel club. She always had my respect and admiration.
