Teresa Turbiak Hantz

On September 17, 1995, Terri married the love of her life, Ray, and together they built a beautiful life and raised two children, Rachel and Zachary, who were her greatest joy. Most recently enjoying “The Summer I Turned Pretty” with Rachel and sewing another “Link” Halloween costume for Zachary.

Terri was an artist in every sense of the word. She created stunning stained glass pieces, beautiful paintings, and had an incredible eye for interior decorating and design. Her creativity extended beyond her own home, she loved helping others bring beauty and warmth into theirs as well. Always crafty and full of ideas, Terri’s artistic touch was evident in everything she did.

A talented cook, her Christmas Jello salad was always a request during the holiday season. She loved spending time in her garden, surrounded by flowers and nature. Her love of sharks, dinosaurs and things that go bump in the night were evident in her favorites Jaws, Jurassic Park and Stephen King.

She adored animals, especially her beloved fur baby, Roxy. Terri also cherished time spent outdoors camping with her family. Many happy weekends were spent at their campsite at Waffle Farms, and more recently, entire family gatherings at state parks, creating lasting memories with the people she loved most.

To cherish her memory, Terri leaves behind her devoted husband, Ray; her children, Rachel and Zachary; her siblings, Karen (Richard), Christopher (Deanna), and Stephan (Sharon); and her sisters-in-law, Janet and Paula.

In addition to her parents, Terri was preceded in death by her brothers, David and Frank.

Terri will be remembered for her creativity, her kindness, her love for family, and the warmth she brought to every room she entered. Her legacy of love and laughter will live on in the hearts of all who knew her.
