Terry Marie Sandiford was born November 29, 1942 in Kamloops, British Columbia. She was the daughter of George and Rena Sandiford. For 35 years, Terry worked for American Airlines as a Flight Attendant. Most of this time, she was based on the east coast. Terry enjoyed traveling and she always had a love for people, so making customers comfortable on their flights came easy to her. Terry was born and raised in Canada, but for most of her life she lived in California. Walnut Creek was where she lived for many years. In 2011 she retired, and the following spring she moved to Cloquet Minnesota to be closer to her daughter and family. In 2020 she moved to Spearfish, and for the past several weeks she has lived in Belle Fourche with her daughter and family. 

Terry loved animals of every kind, and she was always so tender-hearted toward them. She especially loved horses. Family was very important to Terry, and she made it a priority to know her grandchildren by being very personal with each of them individually. Her faith was of utmost important. She had a close walk with the Lord, and always enjoyed worshipping with her church family. Terry was a wonderful mother and grandmother, and she will be missed so much.

Terry is survived by her daughter Alicia (Troy) Stone of Belle Fourche, and their children, Aolani, Alexa, and Sawyer. She is also survived by her sister, Janet Riggs of British Columbia.
