Terri, 63

Terri is a participant in the 2021 50 Over 50 Portrait Project. To be included in next year’s event, please click here. The biography for this post was written by Robin Weidner.

“It has taken me 62 years, but now I am able to stand up for myself, even in small situations.”



A former officer in the Air Force, Terri and her husband of 33 years were both “military brats.”  Currently, she works part-time at a consignment store. She enjoys traveling, boating and fishing with her husband, and pickleball with the whole family, including two sons and one daughter.

Terri says that taking care of her “soul mate,” her mother through her last days was one of her greatest accomplishments. The love of family and others guides her, as she says, “I believe God gives me the right words.” She also enjoys a new recipe, a beautiful sky and her “husband’s handsome face.”
