MM,
One thing I recently thought of was: Why she had us call her ‘Terry’? I know we already had an Aunt Ann Gemmell, so one needed a different name, but why did your Mom say to call her Terry? Do you know the significance of that name? Danny

Danny,
As for "Aunt Terry" ~ I remember my mom telling me that she had two good friends whose names were Teresa or Theresa. They agreed to be the"Three Ts" so she picked Terry because she liked the name and it fit the "Teresa" theme. It's been a while since I heard that story, but I think I recalled it correctly.
MM

MM,
Thanks for the Three Ts. Maria in the meantime came up with her own theory:
An alternate spelling of your mom’s maiden name is Belleterri, which can be broken down to Belle Terri, or beautiful Terri, and with some substitution becomes Aunt Terry. It could be!!!?????
