Terri grew up in south Florida with a deep love for the ocean, sunshine, swimming, music and dancing. She graduated from American High School in 1980. She and her husband Mark were married in 1988 and moved to Asheville, NC in the 90's to raise their two daughters. She was an active member of the community, organizing school events, volunteering for local causes, and always lending a helping hand whenever possible. She was a founder of the Fairview Town Crier newspaper. Terri is remembered by many for her beautiful smile, charitable heart, and uncanny ability to brighten up a room and bring people together.

Terri was predeceased by her father Raymond Sirota. She is survived by her mother Beverly, brothers Walter and Ray, sister Diane, former husband Mark Hornsby, daughters Paige and Grace, and many nieces and nephews. She was a loving daughter, mother, wife, and friend and is dearly missed.
