Terri was incredibly loving, kind, generous, and fiercely stubborn in the best of ways. She had a gift for making everyone around her feel welcome, important, and special. Her warmth, care, and strength left a lasting impression on all who knew her.
Terri loved the outdoors, gardening, traveling, and spoiling her grandchildren. Above all else, she loved and cherished her family. Her two daughters, four grandchildren, and beloved dog, Riley, were her entire world. She found her greatest joy in the people she loved, and her devotion to them was at the center of her life.
Terri is survived by her sister, Linda; her daughters, Heather and Nicole; her sons-in-law, Tom and Bob; her grandchildren, Kali, Blake, Bryce, and Charlotte; and her beloved dog, Riley. She was preceded in death by her parents, Edie and Ray Bates.
A celebration of life will be held on June 29, 2026, at 2:00 p.m. at Olinger Crown Hill in Wheat Ridge, Colorado.
Terri will be deeply missed and forever remembered by all who loved her.
