With heavy hearts, we announce the passing of our mother, Terri, who went home to be with the Lord on August 13,2025 in Dallas Texas. She was born April 3, 1967, in Orange County Florida but resided in Georgia for most of her life. Terri lived a life filled with challenges, working hard, always smiling, for every accomplishment. She loved and adored her children and grandchildren. No matter what she faced, she never stopped giving her love, support and encouragement to those around her.

She bravely fought a hard battle with her health but when the Lord was ready, she answered His call. There, she was joyfully reunited with her eldest son, Larry and father, John, who preceded her in death. She leaves behind her children, Amy and her child Logan; Brian with his children Braylon, Brayden and Corbin; Lisa with her children Layla and Zach; Sarah with her children Larry and Hayden; Stormi with her child Lucas; Dannie, and Larry’s children, Labron, Millie and Levi; brothers John and his family; Harry and his family; sister April and her family; mom Mariann Sanford; aunts Cindy, Monica, Judy and Debra and many loved cousins.

Though we will miss her more than words can say, we know that she is healed and whole and find comfort in the promise that we will one day be together again in the most perfect place, Heaven.

Like a butterfly, you spread your wings,

Bringing beauty to the smallest things.

Through trials faced, you still shined bright,

A soul of courage, a guiding light.

Now Heaven’s Garden holds you near,

Your gentle spirit still feels here.

Though you have flown, you’re not apart,

Your wings still beat within our heart.

We love you mom.
