Mementos

Teresa “Terry” Herbert passed away early Friday morning, January 10, 2025, at Harbor Cove Memory Care in Hilton Head, SC, where she had been a resident for nearly four years. Born in Asheville, NC in 1949, she grew up in Hot Springs, attended St. Genevieve-of-the-Pines, and received a degree in Political Science from UNC-Asheville.

 

Terry was the daughter of the late James Pharm (JP) Rector, Marguerite Anderson, and Don David Anderson.

 

She leaves behind her husband of 49 years and loyal caregiver, Frank Herbert III of Hilton Head, SC, her two sons, David Johnson (Ray) of Denver, CO, and Michael Johnson (Carrie) of Hampstead, NC, and two grandchildren, Foster and Alice Wren Johnson; her beloved sister, Donna Anderson Bagwell (Richard) of Simpsonville, SC, niece Christina Bagwell DelCotto (Ryan) of Daniel Island, SC, and nephew Brent Bagwell (Christina) of Greenville, SC; two grandnieces, Ella Marie and Lacey DelCotto; and her best canine friend, her sheltie, Angel.

 

Terry had an extensive and diverse career, she was a probation and parole officer for Buncombe County, social worker, discharge planner for Memorial Mission Hospital, worked retail, sold timeshare, cut and styled hair, and did fashion “color-coding” back in the 1980s when things like that were popular.

 

Even though she was raised a mountain girl, the beach was her happy place. She was extremely fun – she went to many Jimmy Buffett concerts, was known to play air guitar with a giant grill spatula, had a mischievous giggle, would go up to strangers and ask to hold (and ended up holding) their babies, and loved to fish. She also had a serious and introspective side, cared deeply about her faith and the welfare of her fellow man, and was passionate about many social causes.

 

A special thank you to the team at Crescent Hospice and the wonderful staff at Harbor Cove for taking such good care of Terry.

 

Details for a future Celebration of Life service are forthcoming. Check this page for updates over the coming weeks.  In lieu of gifts or flowers, donations can be made on her behalf to the Katie Adamson Conservation Fund.
