RIP Terry and May a fleet of angels accompany you to the pearly gates.
I had the privilege of working with Terry at Wells Fargo a few years back. She had a tremendous work ethic, an amazing attention to detail, an infectious personality and a great sense of humor. My family and I relocated to Arizona from out of state when I first met her, and she was so helpful and kind, taking the time to find fun events around the valley we could take our kids to, recommending great restaurants and fun spots around Gilbert and Chandler in an effort to help my young family feel settled in our new environment – I will forever be grateful for that. An all-around great person, I feel blessed to have known her. Until we meet again my friend.
