Terry Ann Chidester, of Rocky Point, died peacefully Thursday, Oct. 9, 2014, at her home. She was 69.
She was born July 1, 1945, in Hutchinson County, Kansas, the daughter of the late Lloyd Eugene and Lillian Fiatal Grant.
To cherish her memory, Terry leaves her daughter, Kimberly Ann Chidester; brothers, Gareth Grant, of Florida and Scott Grant and his wife, Vicky, of South Carolina; and many nieces, extended family and friends.
First and foremost, Terry was an exceptional and wonderful mother. Among her many interests and talents was Terry’s artistic ability; she was a fantastic artist with both brush and pencil. She was a great supporter of rescued animals, volunteered with Hope for the Homeless and always available for “cancer walks” with Kimberly.
Terry was an encourager to others, especially to her daughter during Kimberly’s journey through Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma. Terry’s joy in life and laughter could rock the weariest soul. Terry will be remembered for her beautiful smile, her faith in God and her caring for all of God’s creatures.
To celebrate and remember Terry’s life on this earth a private family memorial service will be at a later date in Florida.
Kimberly suggests you consider a memorial gift in honor and memory of Terry to Pender County Humane Society, P.O. Box 626, Burgaw, NC 28425.
Shared memories and condolences may be sent to the family online at Quinn-McGowen Funeral Home.
