Mrs. Eunice Terry was born to Elijah and Fannie Kimbrough on Oct. 3, 1926, in Prairie, Ala. She was the 18th of 19 children. She has one surviving sister, Pauline Booth.
Mrs. Terry was born into a world filled with racism and hatred, but she didn't allow that to mold her life. Instead, she was a woman filled with the love of God, and she spread that love abroad to people of every nationality and race. She was once quoted as saying, "It doesn't make no difference who you are or where you come from, God is all nations."
Eunice worked from the tender age of 5 years old, cooking and cleaning, while her parents and siblings worked in the fields. She maintained a good work ethic and continued to work until she was 86 years old. Her employers and their families loved and cherished her.
She attended school through the ninth grade. She was self-taught in most things she knew. She always said the Lord was her teacher and that He would teach her the things she needed to know.
Mrs. Terry moved to Montana in 1949 and later relocated to Billings with her husband, William Terry, in 1950. She was the mother of three children, Mary, Melvin and Jacqueline Lashelle.
Eunice loved to travel. She traveled to the Holy Land on several occasions, Russia to hand out Bibles, and visited most states in the U.S. Continent.
She was a longtime member of the historical Wayman Chapel AME Church and was most recently the founding Mother of the All Nations Christian Fellowship Church.
Mrs. Terry was a God-fearing woman who told the story of Salvation everywhere she went and to all she came into contact with.
She was very active in the community, speaking to and encouraging lost souls. She was an active member of Christian Business Women and Church Women United. She spoke regularly at Montana Rescue Mission, Passages and many faith-based and civic organizations. She was much sought after because of her ability to teach the word of God with truth and understanding. Mrs. Eunice Terry was a soldier on the battlefield of her Lord and Savior. She has gone to that great meeting up yonder, and we don't have to worry about her — she is just another soldier gone home to be with her Lord.
She leaves to cherish a lifetime of love and memories: two daughters, Mary (Jesse), Jacqueline Lashelle (Vernon); one son, Melvin (Michele); one sister, Pauline Booth; a special niece who was more like a sister, Pinkey Scott; a host of grandchildren, great-grandchildren, great-great-grandchildren, nieces, nephews, cousins and friends; and her very special Pierce godchildren.
She will be greatly missed by the All Nations Christian Fellowship Church and the city of Billings.
A celebration of her life will be at 11 a.m. Saturday, April 12, at First United Methodist Church, 2800 Fourth Ave. N., followed by a graveside service at Sunset Memorial Gardens, 1721 Central Ave.
A reception will follow at First United Methodist Church.
Mrs. Terry requested in lieu of flowers, please make donations to the Montana Rescue Mission in Billings and the All Nations Christian Fellowship Church.
