I met Mrs. Terry and her husband when they moved to Warren County. I was a teenager working at my Father's Texaco Service Station. Our paths crossed again when I was a High School Counselor at Warren County High School. We would have lively discussions as I worked with her two children, Avera and Phillip. Our paths crossed again in recent years as members of Warren County Retired School Personnel. Even though she had to have assistance she came until her health prevented her. She always wore a bright smile in spite of that limitation. Rest in Peace, Mrs. Terry! Audrey Davis adavis116@nc.rr.com
