My sincere condolences to the family.  Terry was truly a terrefic woman. I met her through my husband Bill when they worked for the Brewere at County Stadium.

I am so sorry.  Terry was a true light in the darkness and did everything possable to keep my pathway lit.  The world is a darker place without her.  I will miss her but I rejoice in my belief that she is with our savior Jesus Christ.

Terry was a strong, driven women. She will be missed. May the God of comfort give you strength at this time of sorrow.

Terry and I first met when she was with the Brewers and I was their Fuji Photo Film USA rep (film, pro video supplier). It was a fun time in our lives... we both loved our respective jobs and we became friends. Through the years & job changes we kept in touch. I will always remember Terry's smile and her infectious laughter. I didn't know about the story of her involvement with the racing sausages... but I do know how much she loved to cook and will always remember the tasty, spicy and delicious homemade brats she shared with my family. My sincere condolences to all her family.

TERRY WAS A HIGH SCHOOL CLASSMATE OF MINE-CLASS OF '72 SOUTH MILWAUKEE.  ALWAYS A WONDERFUL SMILE AND A HELLO TO EVERYONE!
SHE WILL BE WELCOMED INTO THE ARMS OF OUR LORD AND WILL PROBABLY BE ON THE WELCOMING COMMITTEE AT THE PEARLY GATES OF HEAVEN. . .
SORRY FOR YOUR LOSS.
-MARY (WIELICHOWSKI)JENDE

The Logic Family sends it's sympathies. Terry was truly a warm and loving woman, always kind to everyone. We are so sorry for your loss.

Terry's spirit and enthusiasm for life have left a legacy that will live on in all of us.  While we saw little of each other the past 10 years,  I could always count on a phone call and "happy birthday" song in February for the past 38 years, ever since we graduated from Marquette.  Terry will be missed on many fronts, and I can think of no better way to honor her memory than to remain strong and positive in the face of adversity.  Sending my love and heartfelt sympathy to all of Terry's family.  She will not be forgotten.

Terry had a smile that would light up the room! Such a warm, loving heart which she shared with others. I will miss her. My sincere & deepest sympathy to her family and friends. May the memories of her smile, goodness and kindness to others sustain you during this time.

Terry and I were very hard working spunky undergraduate buddies at Marquette. Kept together through Christmas cards over the years wish we had spent more face time together as the years flew by.  She'll be waiting for us with that everlasting smile throwing open the pearly gates with that raucous laugh of hers. Armen, I'd love to connect with you. Best to reach me at forteheart@gmail. I'll be at the service in spirit.  All my love, Sue

Terry will be missed by all who knew her.  I'll always remember senior class play with her.

Terry knew how to live life to the fulliest and was a shining example to us all. From organizing professional clothing drives at work to bringing in large sheet cakes to celebrate St. Patrick's day and her birthday, she was joyful in all she did.  I am fortunate to have shared time with her at ATC and as MU alumni.  My prayers go out to her family and friends.

Sympathies to the entire family.  Terry Ann was a beautiful example of a loving, generous human being.  After many years of knowing her (over 20), I never encountered Terry being sad, angry, unpleasant in any way.  She was a great role model to all to embrace life and what it has to offer, good and bad.  Brenda Skelton & Jim Bendtsen 
PS Special hug to Armen until we all meet again with Terry some day.

An amazing woman who brought joy to everyone who knew her.

My sympathy to Terry's family and circle of close friends. The last few years have been difficult for you as well as for Terry.  She fought a good fight and will be missed by many.

Terry was always Kind & Thoughtful.  She was our Class's  student Spanish teacher while Ms Meyer was off one semester for maternity leave..    74'~1976 at South Milwaukee Sr High.  My next connection happened over  20   year later she stopped in My cake shop.  We both stared at ea other & it took me a few seconds.  Hola Gregorio~~   I Know this lady from somewhere? & since then she has become a friend, mentor,& a good customer, who I will dearly miss...She always made me smile.. I will miss You Terry..I thought I was the special one?  But reading here that was her Greatest Gift... she made everyone feel that way.    ~~  Keep Smiling on us all~~

My sincere condolence's to Terry's brother Armen, and Terry's family.  The world was truly a better place because of Terry and her joyous attitude on life.  I had the privilege of teaching Terry, her mother, and her aunt Melina at my dance studio for several years.  Terry will certainly be missed.
Sincerely,

Terry's passing leaves much sorrow.  She battled cancer with the strength of a warrior.  Nothing decreased her boundless energy, and positive attitude.  I'll always remember how she diligently spent weeks planning & organizing  Holy Resurrection Armenian Church's 2013 picnic.  Her many good deeds will live on.  And some day we too will wear a big smile when we hear her name.

I was deeply saddened to hear of Terry's death.  As many others have already noted, Terry always had a smile and a kind word for everyone.  I first met Terry back in the 1990s when she was a student in my MBA class at Marquette.  And, of course, she was the star of my class!  I always looked forward to Marquette events because I knew there was a good chance I'd have the great joy of reconnecting with Terry.  She gave so much of her time and talent to so many organizations.  We will all truly miss her.

I am so very sorry for your family's loss.  I knew Terry through Professional Dimensions.  She was a truly talented individual.  Terry was very dedicated leader to our PG group.  We very much appreciated all of the years that she produced the recipient videos for the Sacagawea Awards dinner.  She was a warm and caring person who will be missed by all her knew her.

I say kudos to you sweet woman. You have transitioned with strength and grace. You always held your head high; you are a solid being who lived each day with integrity, dignity and grace, a true role model who walked the talk. I have always admired your "can do" attitude, your wisdom, your love of life and your legacy of believing the best in people, no matter what the circumstances. YOU are a true trail blazer Terry and I thank you for touching so many people in a positive way during this lifetime. Please visit often. Heartfelt hugs from me to you and your family. Your light continues to shine and so it is. Namaste

Terry was my piano student and friend.  She was a wonderful person - full of energy and easy to like.  I have many good memories of her and will miss her greatly!

I knew Terry through Professional Dimensions and worked with her on numerous events and committees. She was a joy to team with as she always had new thoughts and ideas and worked diligently for the success of whatever project we were working on.  Her lovely smile and enthusiasm spread joy wherever she appeared.  She'll be missed by all who knew her.  My condolences to you on our loss.

One of the greatest compliments I ever heard applies to Terry...My life was better because she was a part of it.  I worked with Terry for several years and always admired her can do attitude and willingness to lend a hand. She was a great teammate and even better person.  God Bless you.

In the 1980's, I was in the same adult dance class as Terry. She was one of the best dancers, and was always smiling. She danced at the South Shore Water Frolics. She was a joy to know. My condolences to her family.

I took dance lessons at Arabesque with Terry a few years back and always appreciated her optimism and her fancy silver tap shoes!  She was a delight to chat with and always brightened my week.
My sincerest condolences, 
Julie Maryniak, Wauwatosa

I took care of Terry in the Day Hospital. She was a pleasure to care for. My love to her family/friends who meant so Very Much to her.

Terry was a first class people person who always made you feel important; because she truly believed that each individual is important. She treated others the way she way she wanted to be treated herself. As a former coworker of Terry's, I can say with sincerity that she has left behind a void in all our hearts by her passing; but she has also enriched our lives by her living and loving.

One of my favorite people on the planet.  As good as a friend and mentor she was, she was a better person. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

It was my privilege to work closely with Terry at two different companies and to be her friend and colleague. My deepest sympathies to her family and to all those who will miss her compassion, her leadership, and her drive to make the world a better place.  May she rest in peace.

My heartfelt sympathy at the passing of Terry.  Terry was truly a contributor to the greater good and will be missed greatly.

Terry was a true inspiration to me.  She was a dear friend and holds a special place in my heart.  She will truly be missed.

I was blessed to to know Terry on a personal level and as a choir director.  She was a fighter and served the Lord inspite of her difficulties. It saddens me that she left us at such a young age.  God's timing. though, is always perfect.  She will be deeply missed.              Kari Akgulian (Racine,WI)

Terry was a blessing to all who knew her, and I am fortunate to have been in that group.  God bless her soul and her family.

Your smile and gentleness will be missed, but your spirit and inspiration lives on.
