On September 24, 2015 Terri was relieved of her earthly battle with cancer and went to be with the Lord Jesus.
Terri was a graduate of Oak Ridge High School, and went on to graduate from Tennessee Technological University with a degree in Music Education. Though she had a passion for music her entire life, she only taught music in the school system for six years. Terri, did however, maintain a roster of pupils to whom she administered private piano lessons for over thirty years.
She was an active member of The First Baptist Church Hendersonville, where she sang with the adult choir, conducted the children's choir, and led a women's bible study. Terri was a strong Christian woman, and those who knew her will miss her dearly.
She is preceded in death by her father, Joseph R. Russell; grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Joe Barton, and Mr. and Mrs. Dewey Russell. She is survived by her loving and devoted husband of 35 years, Bill Gruenewald; son, Will Gruenewald (Jill); mother, Bobbie Russell; brother, Jim Russell (Lori); granddaughter, Alynna Gruenewald; niece, Faith Russell; and nephews, John (Elizabeth) Watts, and David Watts.
