Father: Louis Eugene Harris
Mother: Miriam "Mickee" Tuttle Harris
Early Life: Born the second daughter of three. Utah Valley was where she chose to enter this life October 14, 1946, as her father was using his GI bill to finish his degree. Her big blue eyes and dark hair brought much attention. Teri and her trike were known all over the neighborhood. Calling parties were frequently convened in her honor. During her adolescent years, the trike gave-way to a scooter, roller skates and walks in the woods with Rocky, the family's German shepherd. Junior High was followed by graduation from high school and a permanent move to Arvada, Colorado.
Education: Arvada West High School
Life's Work/Service/Interests: Teri moved to Provo for a short stint in dental assisting where she remained for the next 40+ years. Although she never married, Teri was "mother" to "her boys" at the Utah State Training School. Few had the patience, dedication and unconditional love that Teri expressed toward her brood. They were certainly her pride and joy! After 38 years of loyal, dedicated and self-less service, she retired and then spent the next 4 years assisting in her mother's care until her passing this March. Teri's kindness, innocence, and trustworthiness was well-known both at work and in her everyday life, she would be the first to donate 2 weeks time to an ill co-worker or money for a displaced family in the community. Her reputation as "the sweet one" was well known. She loved a good play-on-words and "she just thought it up!" Among her favorites were the Denver Broncos, bobble-heads, Hallmark cards, a great Ruby River rib- eye, mixed nuts, her 1991 Corolla, dental floss, her Barcalounger, Crocs and watching "The Masters" golf annually. With Teri, life was Simple and Good!
Survived By: Her sisters, Jill (Joe) Garruto and Heidi Oaklief, both of Colorado, and many nieces and nephews.
Family Message: "Farewell sweet sister, til we meet again!"
