Edna
(

)
as many people called her had a heart of gold making her a
much-loved person. Many of her nieces and nephews labeled her the
"
Fa
v
orite Aunt".
She was the family cook. Her rice pudding was off the
hook. She was also known for her infamous family cook-outs and sense of
humor. If it came up, it came out-she held nothing back and the tenacity to
give EVERYBODY a nickname.
She was preceded in death by her husband, Percell William Terry; daughter,
Lenora Ann Smith; grandson, James Earl Smith Jr.; four sisters, Naomi
Shepherd, Gladys Gross, Thelma Chase and Sidney Neal; several brothers-
in-laws, and one sister-in-law.
She leaves to cherish her fond memories two children, Alexandria Lynne
Rice and Randy Percell Terry; four grandchildren, Tonya Smith, Alexander
Bennett, Randy Terry and Brandi Terry; six great-grandchildren, Tyrone
Price, Jordan Jackson, Alexander Bennett, Jeffery Weeks, Mekhi Bennett
and Summer Ann Smith; two great-great-grandchildren, TyShawn and
TyQuan Price; three sisters, Rise Rojas, Dorothy Anderson and Barbara
Ann Thornton; two sisters-in-laws, Mary Louise Hunter and Betty Terry;
Kenny Anderson, whom she became fond of and called him her gardener
and bodyguard and a host of nieces, nephews and friends.
