In Our Memories

Terri

Terri served as our lead receptionist at Grantview from June 2017 until her unexpected passing in February 2022. Terri was not only the first and last face people saw at Grantview but also the life and breath of the clinic. She spoke to everyone with grace and compassion; we are often told how pet owners couldn’t help but smile when they heard her voice over the phone or when they would come in and see her smiling face at the front desk.

During her career, she made a tremendous impact in the veterinary community and personally enriched all of our lives as well. Many of us at Grantview still quote her commonly used phrase, “Rock On,” as we work through each day together. We consider ourselves blessed that she was part of our lives and a part of our hospital.
