Journal entry by Georgia Hinman —
A church service has been scheduled for Terry on June 7th at 1pm at St. Dennis Church. There will also be a Celebration of Life at 3:30 at the Elks Lodge. Please join us as we honor a remarkable mother, daughter, significant other, sister, aunt, and dear friend. Thank you all for being there for her. Your words gave her strength and joy.
Here is the obituary that will appear in Sunday's Wisconsin State Journal:
Madison – Theresa (Terry) Ward, age 57, passed away on Wednesday, May 8, 2019 at Loyola Hospital in Chicago, IL after a courageous battle with lung disease.
Terry was born on November 14th, 1961 in Madison to Rose and the late Carl Jorenby. She lived most of her life in the Madison area where she graduated from East High School and Madison Area Technical College. She spent her career dedicated to helping people as a surgical assistant at Madison Oral Surgery and Dental Implants.
Terry loved spending time with her family and friends, especially near the water. She was an exceptional interior decorator and gardener and loved everything about being outside on a beautiful sunny day. Terry had the ability to light up any room she walked into and will be immensely missed by all who knew her.
Terry is survived by her daughter, Jessica Ward, partner, Dave Bull, mother, Rose Jorenby, brothers Jeff (Patti) Jorenby and Rod (Stefanie) Jorenby and nephews Jacob and Braden. Special thanks to Georgia and Michael Hinman whose constant love, support and strawberry shakes were invaluable throughout Terry's life.
Church Service will be held at St.Dennis on June 7th at 1 p.m.
