HARTRY, Terrylee "Terry"

Terry was predeceased by her father, Wilfred Hartry; and her first guide dog Brandy.
Terry was born on December 14th, 1947 in Lloydminster, Saskatchewan and moved with her family as a child to Edmonton where she graduated from High School.
After graduation, Terry became a nursing assistant, graduating from the Red Deer General Hospital.
She then became employed at the Royal Alexander Hospital in the Preemie Nursery.
After the arrival of her two wonderful children, they moved to Medicine Hat.
Terry was devoted to her career and strove to become a registered nurse; however, due to her illness (diabetes) she became blind.
This has never slowed her down; she lived life to the fullest!
Terry was very community minded and volunteered for C.N.I.B., United Way, Multi Folk Arts Council, Canadian Diabetes Association to name just a few. She enjoyed the many outings with the Alberta Sports & Recreation Association for the blind especially wiener roasts and bowling.
Her dedication, kindness and association with these organizations touched the lives of many people.
She loved to talk to students about what it was like to be blind and having her guide dog, Samson. Life gave her many challenges, but a very positive sense of humor was the saving grace for both Terry and her family.
A Celebration of Terry's life and Vigil Rites (prayers) will be said at St. Mary's Roman Catholic Church, 1250 Division Avenue SW, Medicine Hat, Alberta on Thursday, December 14th, 2000 at 7:00 p.m.
