Teri Denise Starr was born in Chicago Ill to Gladys and Theodore Jackson. Teri was the 4th out of 6 children. Teri married Brad Starr on September 1st 1973, and on May 24th 1978 Teri gave birth to Norell, their only child. Teri was baptized as one of Jehovah's Witnesses in 1972 and served as a regular pioneer for 36 years. Teri was a devoted wife, mother, sister, aunt and friend. Teri was raised in a Catholic home and before learning about Jehovah her goal was to be a nun and a teacher. When she learned the bible truths she was able to use her life to help ones learn about her god Jehovah. She also was able to use her teaching skills with Norell. So Norell even though she went to public school also had the privilege of being home schooled. She loved spending time with her family which was extended the last 10 years with the addition of Marleigh (their precious dog). Teri also loved traveling, she cruised yearly with her family and friends. One of her most memorable trips was a gift from Norell for their 45th anniversary to Europe, while there Teri and Brad took a side trip to the "Leaning Tower of Pisa" which she often spoke of. Teri loved shopping, she loved her shoes and jewelry. In reality Teri herself was really that "sparkling accessory" and whoever had the privilege of being part of her life can attest to that.
