Terri was born on October 5, 1940 in Regina, Saskatchewan. Terri was a lover of the outdoors and enjoyed days at the beach and camping with her family for many years. She instilled great values upon her children that continue to this day. Terri was very much a people person and enjoyed her time with family and friends and her travels abroad. She had a wide list of hobbies, these included, knitting, crocheting, painting, and ceramics that she made not only for herself, but family and friends as well. In her later years she enjoyed visits from her grandchildren, word games, puzzles, movies, coffee time and happy hour with friends at her new home. Terri is loved by all, and she will be forever in our hearts and missed dearly.

The family will be having a private service.

I grew up always having my sister with me. She took care of me when I was a boy. Later she still took care of me. Giving me hope, when times seemed hard and was always there for me. I would drop by her house unannounced and she would stop whatever she was doing and visit with me. Her sense of family was always without limits. She never judged what I did, but was always there to talk to and sometimes offer advice. We were lucky to have her as our sister and we will miss her always.

- Mike and Gail Gelsinger

Dear Gelsinger and the Mc Innes families, I extend to you my condolences in the loss of Dear Terri. I have known her since I was very young and my sister started dating, and eventually married, her Uncle Al. I attended many family gatherings at the Gelsinger home and later at the McInnes home. Terri was such a beautiful person who always dressed sharply and exuded a warm, friendly personality. She loved to engage in conversation and always enjoyed being with people. She was so hospitable whenever you went to her home. She was a real clone of her Dear Mother, Kay, whom I am sure has welcomed her to the heavenly banquet. Terri loved life and she lived it to the fullest. Nothing made her happier than being with family and friends, whether camping, travelling, dining or just sitting around chatting. I shall forever remember my last visit with her two years ago December. I will indeed miss her and miss hearing about her from my sister, Irene. After a life well lived, may Terri now Rest In Peace. Know that my thoughts and prayers are with all who mourn the loss of Terri, especially her siblings, children and grandchildren and great grandchildren. May fond memories of her bring you comfort in times of sorrow. With Sincere Sympathy, Lynda Browning.

When I heard Terri wasn’t doing well I added her to my nightly prayers. When I learnt she passed my heart was truly saddened. I always admired her strength and love of life. Terri always had a smile and a hug for you. It’s a funny story that although Terri is my cousin for some reason I always thought of her as my aunt. Maybe it was because her daughters Delaine and Denise became my friends at a young age, so if they were my cousins so it only made sense in my young mind that Terri would them be my aunt. I remember at her 70th birthday supper at Gulfs I said happy birthday Aunt Terry and she smiled and for the first time corrected me. “You know we’re cousins right?” Then we laughed and hugged. Such a wonderful lady, she will be missed.

We lived directly across the hall from Terri, indeed we moved in just hours before her. We will miss her terribly. A beautiful lady with a great sense of humor. We have lost a great friend.

Deepest Sympathy - I met Terrie over 50 years ago. We had a wonderful friendship. She always had such a positive attitude. She will be missed by all family and friends. We were all blessed to have known her - Thanks for all the good memories.

When Clem & I married in 1996 he often spoke of his mother's (Deck) relatives in Regina. There were so many of them and it was very confusing. Finally we wrote it down and it made sense. Gradually we would have some visits and finally there was the Regina Reunion in 2006. Terri was instrumental in the arrangements and we are forever thankful for that effort. Your mother was a wonderful person, caring, giving and supportive. She will be sorely missed, not just in Regina, but across Canada. We think and will pray for her often. Carolyn & Clem Baumtrog.
