Earthly Arrival Feb 13,1959

Heavenly Departure June 19, 2023

Charleston, SC

Our Dear Mom, Mrs. Terri Darlene Hale, gained her Angel Wings on June 19, 2023. She was born in Savannah, GA on Feb 13,1959 to the late Carolyn F. & James C. Price, Sr.

Mrs. Hale was preceded in death by her loving parents, Carolyn & James Price, her beloved husband, John Hale AKA Feet & Feet John, her precious fur babies, Buddy, and her spoiled pup, Baby AKA Baby Girl, her niece, Mary Katrina Price, and her brother, James C. Price, Jr.

She is surviving by her three loving daughters, Rebecca Lynn (Jeff), Jessica Glisson, and Brandi Nicole (Steven).

She’s also survived by her sweet pup Bandit, her five precious grandchildren, Trinity Swope, Gary Swope,Jr,, Christina Reynolds, Noah Hilliard and Alyssa-Grace Hilliard, whom she loved dearly, along with several nieces, nephews, cousins and two uncles.

She was raised in Savannah, and lived there off and on, but most of her adult life she lived in Midway, before settling in Richmond Hill in 2015, until moving in with my sister Jessica on Lady’s Island.

She loved collecting Tin Cans and Snowflake Teddy Bears at Christmas.

She was funny too! She’d tease me about ‘stalking” her whenever I’d take her shopping lol. I cared for her as much as I could when she lived in Richmond Hill.

My baby sister Brandi was just that - Momma’s Baby. She was always saying, "My baby this, my baby that..." She was Momma’s baby and she was her Punkadoodle. Brandi cared for our mom for a short time when our mom lived in Savannah with her and her family.

My younger sister, Jessica, and Mom were thick as thieves! She’d take mom shopping or to the beach. Mom loved the beach. They may have been Mom & Daughter, but also best friends. Jessica cared for our Mom off and on for a while, more so these last couple of years - most especially after Mom had her stroke in March. Jessica was nicknamed Heart Attack Baby, because our Mom was pregnant with her and found out our grandpa had a heart attack, she went into labor and had Jessica, therefore giving my sister her nickname.

Mom, many times when speaking to one of us girls, would say all three of our names before saying who was actually talking to or about. My mom never met a stranger and loved dogs, children and babies. Mom had a beautiful heart, she was loved by so many and will be forever missed by us all.

Fly High with the Angels Mom - you’ve earned your wings!!

A Memorial Service to Honor and Remember Our Mom will be announced at a later date.

The other night I had a dream. it was just as real as you and me.

I dreamt a dream that was so deep that it made me sob and weep.

I dreamt of a beautiful woman with a beautiful soul, special someone I never wanted to let go.

This person in my dreams was my beautiful Mother, that’s why it hit me in core.

We were having a conversation like so many times before.

We had our quarrels, we had our fights but I know she loved me even in spite.

Tupac said in his song “Dear Mama”

I wish I could take the pain away

If you can make it through the night, there's a brighter day

Everything will be alright if you hold on

It's a struggle every day, gotta roll on.

I had so much I wanted say, but just don’t have the words today.

I prayed for my Momma each day, I prayed for strength renewed, if only long enough to have spent one more day with you.

I loved you mom and hoped to see you soon, I thought of you day and night praying somehow you’d be alright.

I knew God had his plan, I may not have known nor understood but I hoped, I prayed I trusted and I obeyed.

I love you Mom,

Love Always your Becky!!
