Theresa Lynne Carden

Theresa Lynne Carden- Terri- 57, passed away on September 12, 2023. She was born May 19, 1966 to Thomas Wesley Kelley and Donna Kelley (nee Knight). She has also been reunited with her beloved Go-Go (Grace Knight) and many other family and friends.

She is survived by her husband Rob of almost 35 years of marriage and their two sons, Chris and Craig. They were the sunshine of her life. Also, her brother Craig, her daughter-in-law Ashley, sister-in-law Debbie and stepmother Rose. Terri was a loving wife, mother and friend to many. She will also be missed by her extended family and friends. Besides being an incredible mother and wife, she dedicated her life to giving to others. She selflessly cared for countless individuals without ever seeking anything in return. Service to others was Terri’s language of love. Just one small example, during the covid lockdown she made it a point to cook and drop off food to many loved ones who were sick and it made her so happy.

She spent her entire working career in jobs that allowed her to connect with people and the world is a better place for that. She interacted with everyone, from the CEO of a multi-billion-dollar company to the lowest level employee with unwavering dignity, kindness and respect. Treating each person equally, genuinely caring about them.

Terri’s passing leaves a void in our hearts, but the way she made us feel and her infectious smile will live on forever. Rather than a formal service, we will gather for a celebration that reflects the joy and spirit that would make her proud. Details to follow on that.
