Terry Marie (Peterson) Denny, 65, passed from this life to the next on November 18, 2014. She was born December 20, 1948, in Ft. Dodge, Iowa to Thomas Gunnar and Mary Geraldine Peterson. Terry met Craig, the love of her life, at Iowa State University where she received her BS in Elementary Education. Together, they raised three daughters, living first in Iowa and moving to Lenexa in 1985. Her life revolved around her family and their activities: band, theater, girl scouts, PTA, swimming & diving, gymnastics, etc. She was everywhere flashing her smile and doing whatever needed to be done.

Terry retired from Shawnee Mission Schools in 2009 to be Nana full-time. In addition to Craig, she is survived by Amanda (Keith) Whiteford, Melissa (Leland) Sindt, Melinda Denny, brother Thomas J.
