Susan Arlene Terry
1950-2009

Susan Arlene Terry, beloved wife, mother, grandmother, sister and friend returned home to her Heavenly Father on Saturday March 14th, 2009 after a lengthy illness.

Suzie was born March 9, 1950 in Artesia, New Mexico to Bill and Margaret Conley. From a young age Suzie had a love for music and singing. She performed in several musicals and loved to share her talent with others. Her voice was one of her special talents, something that her family missed greatly during her illness. We know now that she is singing with angels.
She had a happy childhood surrounded by her family and many friends. She attended Mayfield High School in Las Cruses, NM where she met her to be sweetheart in sophomore English class. Marshall recalls seeing her from across the room and feeling that he had known her all of his life before ever meeting her.

Susan married her classmate, Marshall Terry in the spring of 1969, when they were both just 19 years old. Their abiding love lasted 40 beautiful years on earth. Their love story is one of the greatest ever told and will surely last throughout eternity. Together they had three boys, they spent countless hours supporting them in all their accomplishments. She enjoyed all of their sporting events and never missed a game. She was the ultimate baseball mom. For someone so small, she had a mighty voice that could cheer and holler above all else.

She was a great business woman and found much happiness in her work. She became Partner in a Utah based Public Relations firm and like the rest of her life she gave selfless service in her work and callings in church. She held many church callings that she loved, and being a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints brought her much happiness.
She loved her children more than life itself. She was so proud to be a mother and grateful for the opportunity to raise her sweet boys. She made her family’s life more important than her own, she played a great role in taking care of her brothers and sisters, and then later in life, her parents.

She had a great love for her beautiful daughters that were brought to her by marriage, which also brought, her most prized possession, her nine grandchildren. She loved her family and will without a doubt be cleaning her mansion in Heaven so that when we all return we will have a clean home to return to. We know it won’t be long before she finds a cute little jewelry shop in Heaven to make her feel right at home.

Susan is survived by her loving husband, Marshall Terry, Saratoga Springs, her children, Michael (Hope), Idaho Falls, Britton (Cristine), Saratoga Springs, Jacob (Melissa), Saratoga Springs; her brother Joe (Sophia) Stewart, Nancy Lack, Dewey (Kim) Conley, Margi (Tom) Jackman; and her 9 beautiful grandchildren. Funeral services will be held on Wednesday, March 18th at 11 AM at the Saratoga Springs Stake Center, 587 S. Saratoga Road, Saratoga Springs. Viewing will be held before the funeral at 9:30 AM at the same building. Special thanks to those who cared for her and loved her. Online condolences http://www.serenicare.com/
