Talk about Terri

Terri is truly royalty. Her creativity, leadership and thoughtfulness are the reason we even exist.
Terri was born in Provo, Utah not many years ago. West Bountiful did not get the privilege of claiming her until she was 10 years old. She is the original 'Echo'. Terri saw that we could form a group as an outlet for our musical energy. Her vision saw the hearts that we could touch with the gift of music we were given.
She is multi-talented in voice, piano, flute and many other instruments.



Terri is the mother of 5 wonderful children- 4 boys and 1 daughter. She sports two daughters-in-law and one son-in-law. She is the Grandma of 5...almost 6 terrific grandchildren. She is sister to two other Echoes.
She met her husband, Wes, when she moved to West Bountiful. People thought they were brother and sister.
When I asked her about her pet peeve, she responded that all her pets were dead!!!
You might not know that she has had 4 broken bones, 3 of them before she was 11 years old. She had reddish hair when she was born and her grandmother thought they switched babies. Shirleen's hair is dark ???
Her favorite food is ...anything she doesn't have to fix or clean up. Her favorite music is Country.
She likes to knit, sew and take pictures of her grandkids. What great subjects. Terri also has a wonderful talent for seeing the needs of others and fulfilling those needs. Her favorite song that we sing together is "May I Serve Thee?"
She shares with us a recipe called Peanut Butter Popcorn. Try it some evening!
Pop 2 bags of microwave popcorn- butter flavored and set aside. Bring to a boil and boil one minute stirring constantly 1 c maple syrup and 1 cup sugar.
Then add 1 cup peanut butter. Stir until melted. Pour over popcorn, let cool and devour.

To my Mom: I love you Mom, you are the greatest example of love, compassion, loyalty and service. I hope that one day I will be able to be half the mom and woman you are. I am so blessed to have you as my mom!

Steve made your popcorn the first chance he got...It didn't last long at our house. Thanks again for making the music.
