Terry was a graduate of Milford Mill High School, class of 1963. She then furthered her education at Midland College in Midland, TX obtaining an associate degree in applied science in 1990. On May 7, 1971, Terry married the love of her life, Sam Flores at St. Paul's Evangelical Lutheran Church in Baltimore, MD and the two would spend the next 52 years creating countless memories and raising their family.
A natural caregiver, her life's work was as a registered nurse, and she dedicated many years to her career and helping others, working for Midland Memorial Hospital and later for Princeton Dermatology from where she retired after many dedicated years.
Terry was a child of God and a faithful member of the Lutheran Church of Our Savior in Rehoboth Beach, DE, where she assisted with meals for the international students. She believed in giving back to her community and in her spare time she was teaching students English as a second language, an activity that brought her great joy. Terry's favorite pastimes included sewing and crocheting, particularly prayer shawls at church. Terry loved traveling and she visited several countries including Mexico, Italy, Spain; she has also been to Hawaii and Alaska. Spending time with her family and friends was what she treasured most. Terry's memory will continue to inspire and bring comfort to those who are fortunate enough to know and love her.
In addition to her parents, she was predeceased by her sister, Joan E. Luers. She is survived by her husband, Sam Flores, and her daughters, Kimberly, and Melanie Flores.
