Terri Lynne Perkow

Terri Lynn ( Cochran) Perkow, 60, was released from her earthly chains and with her spiritual wings flew home on August 5th, 2026. She was greeted by many family members in heaven who traveled home before her. She was also reunited her fur baby, Fräulein, her beloved Rottweiler. She was reunited with her husband Jake, who predeceased her just 12 days before. God gave Terri much needed rest from chronic illnesses and a past stroke that resulted in a TBI, leaving her unable to care for her self without assistance. She is survived by her husband's family and her step daughter Sarah. Also two older sisters, Cheryl and Debbie and their families, and many nieces and nephews and cousins and friends and her two special fur babies, her cats, Sasha and Anna. Terri had a special aide she liked named Pixy.

Terri came into this world on December 5th 1965. She could be handful as a child, because she loved to be busy, always on the go and dancing to her own beat. Terri worked for several years in the food industry and she was a bus driver for Serafini, driving little kids. Terri loved children and not having any of her own, she doted on the kids in her life. She had a great sense of humor and was quick witted, even with her health challenges, she would enjoy a good banter. She could easily have a quick temper and if something irked her, she was known to let words just fly. Her favorite color was always purple. Terri loved the character Eeyore from Winnie the Pooh and was a fan of the Dallas Cowboys. Gunsmoke, Mama's Family and All In The Family were her go to TV shows. Her scratch off tickets ( she loved her scratch offs) brought her anticipated happiness, just like the visits to the Casino with Jake. Terri loved life and the people in, and the memories she leaves to those she loved will be forever cherished.

The family would like to thank the staff at Wilson UHS Emergency and the Wilson UHS CVCIU in Johnson City, for the skilled and attentive care and compassion and kindness they gave to Terri, and also to her sisters, especially when they had to make difficult decisions. Their kindness will always be remembered.

Funeral Services will be held on Tuesday, August 18th at 1 pm at the Allen Memorial Home, 511-513 E. Main Street, Endicott. The Service will be officiated by her sister, Pastor Debra Wilson.
