She was married for 49 years and 50 weeks to Jim Ward. Their 50th Wedding Anniversary would have been on 11/18/21.
Family gatherings (mini-reunions) meant the world to Teri. She loved providing big meals for her family, including a yearly grandkids-only-invite, which called for a ride on the zip line. While most knew her as Teri or Mom, she most affectionately loved being called Meema by her Grandkids.
She spent countless hours making 200+ quilts for all of her family & friends with Jim alongside. Another favorite pastime was watching all of God's beautiful wildlife on their farm. She enjoyed gardening, canning, and had lots of beautiful flowers and trees in her yard. She was an avid reader of her Bible, Christian books and Biographies. She loved her husband, kids, and grandkids with all her might! Teri lived her life to the fullest – always putting others before herself; Mom fought the good fight, Meema finished the race.
