Along with a host of nieces and nephews. Terrie Sue walked all of her days with Christ. She was a walking example of Psalms 46, Be Still and Know that I am God. She was a constant reminder of how to live in peace, how to speak in the boldness of the Word of God, and how to truly love one another like Christ loved the church. Her ability to always remain calm, speak truth, and to Just Breathe touched the hearts of so many.








Her steadfast relationship with Christ through her daily walk with the Lord will live on forever.

Whether it was a talk on the front porch swing at 1535, a gathering around the supper table, or a lazy river in the pool, Terrie always gave her whole self to others. She served as a counselor, teacher, friend, mother, wife, sister, and ally to countless family members and friends. She truly had a servant's heart. Her wholesome and humble spirit was a gift to us all. She was a Titan in the spirt and we can't wait to be reunited.

Her Celebration of an extraordinary example of Life will be held at Mason-Woodard Mortuary, Joplin Mo. on Wednesday, May 15th from 5- 7 p.m.
