Terri Lynn Lee, 54, passed away October 31, 2010 after a nine month struggle with cancer at her home in Canton, GA. She was born Teresa Lynn Overstreet on September 24, 1956 in Indianapolis to mother, Janice (Jan) and father, the late Roger William (Bill).
Terri attended North Central and graduated from Pike High School, then on to Indiana University. She entered the family business with her father and later went on to a successful career as the first woman in Indiana to be licensed in commercial HVAC- a true pioneer.
Terri was loved by all that knew her. Those who are left to honor her are her mother and stepfather, Jan and Jack Whiteman, sister Sue, her loving husband Greg, step-children Tyler and Garrett, nieces Jeni and Sara and their families, as well as, family, friends and co-workers in Indiana and Georgia.
Services will be held Saturday, November 6, 2010 at 10:00 am at Northminster Presbyterian Church, 1660 Kessler Blvd East Drive, Indianapolis, IN. 46220.

November 30, -0001 at 12:00 amTerri was my first cousin, but was really more like a sister. I watched her grow up into a dynamic, stubborn (in a good way!), kind and generous woman. I was always proud of how she lived her life, but never as much as during the last nine months. Cancer got her body, but not her spirit. I&singleqoutesll miss you, my sweet Terri.

November 30, -0001 at 12:00 amTerri Lee is my friend.
She died on Sunday.
How will I continue on through my life
now that she is gone…
Well,
I know that I must.
She would want me too.
Strong-willed was Terri&singleqoutess middle name…
probably her first name, too! {we just called her Terri!)
And she never gave up!
She would want me, and all of us,
to continue on in her footsteps.
Her smile…
her laugh…
her wonderfully wicked sense of humor!
I loved her with no hair!
She&singleqoutesd flip that wig off
and just rub her head!
Ahhh! It felt so good to have freedom! from the itch…
yet, she was ever so thankful for those wigs!
And her doctors…
and her nurses…
and hospice…
and Greg.
Greg, she loved you so very much.
There are no words
that can measure her love for you.
Even when she was frustrated with things,
she&singleqoutesd say your name with emotion
that emitted love.
You and Nippers…
You, first! (well, most always!)
The pain she dealt with
I have no idea how.
I know that pain was worse than what I am experiencing now with her loss…
I can hardly imagine
anyone being able to stand it…
especially with the courage Terri did.
Class…
that&singleqoutess the word I&singleqoutesd use to describe Terri.
Compassionate…
She tried not to show her &qoutessoft&qoutes side
but it was always evident
in her actions.
Terri makes me smile…right now.
Through my tears…
I see her…
she is grinning at me,
and joking,
and loving on Nippers, and talking about her car, and loving Greg.
Though I&singleqoutesll miss the physical touch of her hand…
I&singleqoutesll always have her love and friendship
in my heart.
Terri Lee. I love you.
Soar with the angels girlfriend! Soar!
