She was an avid lover of all Philadelphia sports but especially the Eagles and Phillies. Terry loved to dance and went to Dick Clark's American Bandstand several times and once appeared on TV. Terry was so fortunate to have developed amazing friendships with her neighbors on Dash Avenue in Media, especially Denise and Bill Haines and their children Billy, Kirsten, Hannah and Andrew and their extended family along with her good friend Jack Young and his wife Doris.
