She was born on November 10, 1940, in Peoria, IL, to Edward and Ruth White. She married William "Bill" Hurst of Peoria, IL, on May 28, 1960. Terry and Bill celebrated 60 years of marriage in 2020. He survives.

Terry worked at Illinois Neurological Associates (INI) for 23 years. She and Bill enjoyed 20 years of retirement, both locally and in Mission, TX.

A devout Catholic, she was a Eucharistic minister at St. Anthony's for many years. Her greatest love, however, was spending time with her grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
