I am so sad to know she passed. Full of life and a beautiful giving heart. My kids loved her when we would visit my brother Dirk next door to their camp house. She was like family to us. She would plan things to do with the kids and would get them treats. We all loved her very much and will dearly miss her. The world has lost a rare and beautiful treasure.
Much love to all the family, Dana Domas Diaz de Leon
My deepest sympathies and prayers go out to Jim, Clark, Chris, and her beloved grandchildren. Terry brought joy to many and will be remembered in our hearts as a bright, loving friend.
Jim and family:
I am so sorry for your loss! Terry was a 'jewel' even from the earliest years of her life. I first met the Jankey family while a child growing up just around the corner from their home on Harmon Dr. to which they moved from Kingsport to become part of the 'new' Texas Eastman. I spent many hours playing with her brother, Tony, and was in their home frequently. Simply wonderful folks, always a joy to be in their presence! They always made me feel so welcome! I was very sad when they decided, way too soon from my perspective, to move from the neighborhood. It sounds like you and Terry have provided that same type of 'inviting atmosphere' for your home that I experienced in those early years as their neighbor! That is special and something about which you should be very proud! I know the loss of Terry is quite difficult now, but I pray that a lifetime of fond memories with her will replace your grief and give you much joy in the future!
Blessings Be With You and the Entire Family,
Larry McLendon

Terry knew how to throw a party. Her Halloween parties were great for kids and adults. Her love to shop was amazing. What a great person. Love Carol Caldwell

Jim, Chris, Clark, & family, My heart aches for you. Sister Beck just sent me the news of Terry's demise. I'm so sorry for y'all, but I'm so happy for her. I picture her having a glass of "TerryTea" over on the other side, ever the bon vivant, no longer suffering in this vale of tears she's left behind.The sunsets on the Cove will never be the same without her but we'll all think of her and how she shone so brightly and then faded away in a beautiful ending in a better place.
