She was born December 20, 1946, in Jeffersonville, Indiana. Terry was a beautiful woman with a beautiful soul. She endured many challenges throughout her life, and always rose above. She, along with her husband Joel, wintered in Florida for many years, and were longtime season ticket holders to the Cincinnati Bengals. They also enjoyed and followed the Ohio State Buckeyes and Cincinnati Reds. Terry enjoyed going on long car rides, which usually ended up at a restaurant. In addition, she was known to enjoy a shopping excursion. Playing cards, especially euchre, was a true enjoyment for Terry. She played cards, anytime she could, and had participated in many euchre tournaments. More than anything, Terry loved her family. She is survived by her husband, Joel H. Walraven, to whom she married April 1, 1966 in Wilmington; children, Chris Walraven of Sewall’s Point, Florida, and Jessica Brewer of Wilmington; grandchildren, Noah Brewer and Kylie Brewer, both of Wilmington, and Sophia Walraven and Emily Walraven, both of Costa Rica; brother John Singer of Akron; several nieces and nephews; and many great friends from Ohio and Florida.
