Mrs. Terry was a life long resident of Ida and faithful member of Ida United Methodist Church. She worked her entire life as a homemaker and farmer, while raising five children. Mrs. Terry was never afraid of hard work and often worked harder than many men. She loved gardening, beautiful flowers and especially her roses and made some of the best biscuits known to man.
She was preceded by her parents, her husband J. F. "Shem" Terry and her son-in-law Phil Brackman.
Left to cherish her memory are her sons Paul Martin Terry and wife Nancy of Ida, LA and Larry Wayne Terry and wife Nancy of Magnolia, AR, daughters Betty Sue Lawton and husband Sheryl of Lafayette, LA, Ruth Ann Mixon and husband Mike of Farmerville, LA, and Virginia Brackman of Palestine, TX, 10 grandchildren, 12 great-grandchildren, 1 great-great grandchild and numerous extended family members.
Pallbearers will be Fred Mixon, Stewart Mixon, Jeff Brackman, Herb Vickers, Thomas Shaw and LeRoy Farmer.
The family would like to express their sincere appreciation to the Professional Home Health of Springhill, LA and Life Touch Hospice in Magnolia, AR, whose employees provided such wonderful care in the last months of Mrs. Terry's life.
