Terri was born on November 7, 1959, at a military base in Frankfurt, Germany, to David and Darlene Schwein. As the daughter of a career serviceman, she spent much of her childhood traveling and living in various countries and states throughout the United States.
Following her high school graduation, Terri proudly enlisted in the United States Army. She served her country honorably for 24 years, retiring with the rank of Sergeant First Class (E-7). Following her military career, she continued to support the armed forces as a military contractor for several years.
Terri was a woman of many talents and interests. She was a gifted artist who enjoyed painting on canvas and ceramics, as well as crafting, scrapbooking, and photography. She was actively involved with the Girl Scouts and dedicated several years to serving as a Scout Leader. Terri also had a deep love for animals, especially dogs, and shared her life with many beloved canine companions over the years.
One of Terri's favorite places was Lake Negaunee in Evart, Michigan, where she spent countless summer weekends enjoying the water, sunshine, and time with family and friends.
Terri was preceded in death by her parents, David and Darlene Schwein, and her sister, Gail. She is survived by her loving husband, David; her children, Victoria "Brittany" (Gabriel) and Jonathan “Sam” (Erica); her cherished grandchildren, Jack, Luke, Cala, Ben, and Anderson; her sisters, Sandy, Barbara, and Donna; as well as numerous nieces, nephews, extended family members, and dear friends.
