A native of Winder, Georgia, Terri was a 1978 graduate of Winder Barrow High School and later graduated in 1990 from Georgia Baptist School of Nursing where she earned a Bachelor of Science in Nursing degree. In addition to ranking second in her class at Georgia Baptist, Terri was also the honored recipient of the distinguished Betty B. Burke Godfrey Excellence in Adult Health Nursing Award. Terri went on to work at Georgia Baptist Hospital as a nurse in the obstetrics unit. In 1994, she married David Fairbank, and together they raised two children, Kaity and Jonathan. Terri devoted herself completely to being a wife and mother - the two titles that meant the most in the world to her. She adored her family and dedicated her life to their happiness.
Terri was preceded in death by her beloved mother, Rachel Fox, and her beloved nephew, Ryan Fox. Terri will be forever remembered lovingly by her husband of 25 years, David, and their precious children, Jonathan and Kaity, by her father Jimmy Fox, and by her brother and sister in law, Eddie and Candie Fox.
