Teresa (Terry) Emily Howard passed away peacefully in her beautiful home in Laughlin, Nevada on March 28, 2025, at the age of 81 years.
Terry is survived by her dedicated children, Tod (Rhonda) Howard, Tami (Brad) Eaton. She loved her 5 grandchildren, Lauren, Taylor, Jessica, Joshua and Jeremy. She is also survived by her brother Steve Ratcliff.
Terry was a devoted wife, incredible mother, and friend to many. She graduated from Lake Crystal High School in Lake Crystal, Minnesota. Terry began her 30-year nursing career with the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota.
In her free time Terry was an avid reader (bookworm!), enjoyed knitting, crocheting, cross-stitching, and watching Days of Our Lives and NASCAR. In more recent years she loved to spend her time in the casino, especially her nightly Bingo games. She also enjoyed attending concerts.
In lieu of flowers, should you choose to do so, the family respectfully requests donations to the American Cancer Society.
A special thanks to Canyon Home Care & Hospice for their compassionate care for Terry and her family.
