beloved family and friends on February 22, 2026. Terry was born on January 14,1944 to Orvile

and Helen Savage at Polyclinic Hospital in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. After moving to Texas in

1956, Terry attended Stinnett High School where she received numerous academic accolades.

moved to Fairfax, Oklahoma, working at the Osage Sewing Factory in Pawhuska, Oklahoma, a

US Census intake worker, and then went to work as a Security Guard at the Phillips/Conoco

Plant in Ponca City, Oklahoma in 1988. Upon her retirement in 2024 she moved to Enid,

Oklahoma.

Terry not only loved her family, but she also enjoyed yelling at the Dallas Cowboys, rooting on

the Oklahoma Lady Sooners, Oklahoma State Lady Cowboys, and Texas Lady Longhorns in all

sports, and NASCAR. She also enjoyed rooting for her fantasy teams, the Longshots, and

spending time at the casino with her children.

Terry is preceded in death by both her parents, her sisters Karen Kay and Glenda Rae, her brother

Kenton Savage, a son Lance Allen Shuffield, and her two husbands, Jerry Shuffield and Bunny

Kennedy and great grandson Coty Valencia and her canine husbands Rudy and Cowboy.

Borger, Texas, her daughter Christy Hand and her husband Bobby of Enid, Oklahoma,

granddaughter Natasha and husband Nick Hernandez, and their son Lucas of Borger and the only

man that she could understand and tolerate, her African Grey parrot Magellan. Also in her close

mention. The family also wants to extend a heartfelt “Thank You” to Sara RN of Traditions

Terry had a tremendous green thumb, a love of reading, and her tremendous baking skills were

legendary. She would bake goodies each month for special occasions and treat all of her

contractor clients out of her red cooler.

Services will be held  at 1:00 pm, Saturday, March 14, 2026 at Memorial Park Cemetery in Edmond, Oklahoma. In lieu of flowers the family

requests that you visit your favorite casino and place a bet in Terry’s memory. The family wishes
