Obituary of Terina Lee Perry
Terina was born in Cincinnati, Ohio on July 21, 1970. She was one of five children born from the union of the late Harvey Lee Perry and Myrtle Jean (Carroll) Perry.
Terina was a dedicated, hard worker; she was employed by Ford Motor Company for nearly 20 years. Providing for her family was always her top priority. She began her career as a welder and has since worked numerous positions within the company. She was strong, determined, and dedicated. Terina would always say she worked at “Fords” because she has spent time at nearly every plant in her surrounding area and had even relocated to a different state for a couple years during her career.
Terina had a sharp tongue; rest assured you would always know how she felt. In addition to her vibrant personality, she truly had a heart of gold. Terina was empathetic and would always help if she could; she too knew what it was like to need help sometimes and was the type to give a stranger the shirt off her back if needed.
Terina enjoyed the little things in life; a good night’s sleep, a nice meal, and spending time with her family was all she needed. In her downtime she enjoyed watching true crime shows/documentaries. Terina loved to read and had quite the collection of books, although the Bible was her favorite. Terina was blessed with two children whom she prioritized first and foremost. Her reward for being a parent was three beautiful grandchildren which she adored. For the past twenty years she spent her life with her significant other, Richard Rybski; the love they shared is something only they will understand but her family knew how much they meant to one another.
Terina Lee Perry, age 50, of Newport passed away unexpectedly on Saturday March 6, 2021 at her home. In addition to her father her passing was preceded by two brothers: Harv and David Perry.
To cherish her memory, she leaves behind two children: Donald (Brittney) Mullen and Autumn Mullen; her three grandchildren: Sawyer Walls, Ella Mullen, and Wade Moore; her significant other: Richard Rybski; her mother: Myrtle Jean Perry; two sisters: Susan Feaganes and Lisa Perry; and one brother: Michael Perry.
