Teresa Elizabeth (Terri) White

Sept. 25, 1949 – Oct. 11, 2024

Teresa Elizabeth White ( Terri), 75, was born a Woodhead. She was the adopted daughter of Thomas James Woodhead and Dorothy May Woodhead.

She had two brothers, both died before her. Dick as a child, on a bike, to a drunk driver.
And Robert, who died of degenerative muscle disease in mid life.

Terri lived a remarkable life…from the  early chaos of loving wild men, to the stability of sobriety and making amends. She was: generous, kind, patient (a hard won accomplishment), deep, real, down to earth, and always present. She also could curse like a sailor.

She was especially gifted working with special needs children. She made her professional career as a teacher’s aid, through the strength and competence of volunteering.

She is survived by: Jim, Viva, Riley, and Evan Phillipoff. As well as Zeyha Chelan and Clayton and her best friend Jill.

She was an amazing grandma and is deeply missed and loved by her small circle.

Terri died of advanced neuro endocrine cancer.
