Terria was born November 16, 1946 in Tuscaloosa, Alabama to the late Lloyd and Faye Wood. Terria graduated from Tuscaloosa High School in 1964 and attended Judson College in Marion, Alabama. She carried on the family tradition of being a talented interior decorator and home builder. Her passion for turning a house into a home led Terria to volunteer her talents throughout the Tuscaloosa community.
Terria was a member of the Junior Welfare Association and worked tirelessly as it transitioned to The Junior League of Tuscaloosa. For many years, she served as Chairman of the Horse Show Committee. She was a member of the Tuscaloosa County Preservation Society and was a charter member of the VIP Ladies Group at The University of Alabama.
Terria was a long time member of First Baptist Church of Tuscaloosa. Her strong faith was evident to everyone around her. She was eager to speak of her Bible studies and God's work in her life.
Terria had a generous, sweet spirit. Her biggest fault was that she could never say no. She loved people and the friendships she developed through the years gave her great joy. Terria had the gift of hospitality and loved to entertain. She was always a gracious and perfect hostess.
Terria's eleven grandchildren were the center of her life. "Ter-rer"/"Ki-ki" never missed a ballgame, horse show or any function involving them. She was extremely proud of their athletic and academic achievements. She loved being with her children and grandchildren at the beach, where they made many lasting memories.
Terria was a true Southern lady and she impressed upon her children and grandchildren her values and faith in the Lord. She leaves a legacy of generosity, kindness and love.
Pallbearers will be Jonathan Plott, Brenton Sanders, J.P. Sanders, Breyden Biggs, Joshua Lloyd Bullard, Kirk Wood, Richard Davis and Craig Wilson.
