She enjoyed gardening and remodeling her home. Terry took her family to Jamaica in 2007. She bought a two-story playhouse for her grandchildren, and probably for herself as well. Terry enjoyed kayaking on nearby lakes as a way to appreciate nature. She rode in a racecar with the NASCAR experience, took a hot air balloon ride, zip-lined over Niagara Falls, and took numerous trips exploring Oklahoma. This past year, she began making beautiful barn quilts. Most of all, Grandma Terry enjoyed keeping her grandchildren in her home during the summer. She was their favorite playmate. Her family enjoyed gathering monthly for Sunday meals together. Terry has numerous friends from various activities, including Bible study groups. Terry knew her cancer diagnosis was terminal.
