Survivors include husband, Rick; daughters, Brandi (Kenny) Carmer of Marion, and Arissa Embree of Tiffin; mother, Sharon and stepfather, Larry Sorensen of North Liberty; brothers, Garry Adams of Parnell, and Steve Adams of Iowa City; grandmother, Dorothy Martin of Columbia, Mol.; five grandchildren; one nephew; three nieces; and her beloved felines, Cozmo and Buckwheat.

Terry was preceded by daughter, Ashley Rose; son, Derek William; and father, Jack Adams.

Terri, or “T” to friends who knew her best, enjoyed fishing, hiking and all outdoor activities. She was an avid reader who spent many of her last hours engrossed in a Kindle reader, an early Christmas gift from Rick. She mostly, however, enjoyed being with family and friends who were always inspired by her cheerful personality and warm smile, even in the face of adversity. Her passing has produced a void for all who knew her.
