Terry Ann Vetter, a devoted wife, mother, grandmother, sister, and friend, passed away peacefully at home surrounded by the family she loved so deeply on August 9, 2026. She was just 18 days shy of her 73rd birthday.

Born on August 27, 1953, Terry was the kind of person whose heart always had room for one more. She was not only a loving mother to her own children, but a mother to anyone who walked through her door. Her home was a place where you were welcomed, cared for, fed, listened to, and loved. You didn't have to be family by blood to be family to Terry.

She leaves behind her beloved husband of 41 years, Michael Vetter; her son Michael and his wife, Tammy; and her daughter and best friend, Lee-Ann, and her husband, Joseph. She also leaves behind Erica Wallace, whom she loved as one of her own. Her grandchildren and great-grandson were her world. She treasured Michael Vetter and Loretta, Ethan and Madison Vetter, Joseph Morales and Theresa, and her great-grandson, Soren Vetter.

She is also survived by her sisters, Cathy Tyrrell and Carol Frustaci; her six beloved sisters-in-law, Kathy (George), Linda (Bill), Barbara (Joe), Susan (Brian), Patty (Andrea), and Peggy (Mike); along with many nieces, nephews, great-nieces, and great-nephews. Terry also leaves behind her beloved grand pup, Chewie, who held a very special place in her heart.
