Terri was born September 25, 1948, in Kansas City, KS the daughter of Robert R and Elnora Jean Petty. She was a 1966 graduate of Washington High School. Terri had worked for Bob Foley Co. where she served as it's Secretary and Treasurer and then worked at Providence Medical Center outpatient admitting retiring in 2001. She was a member of Wyandotte County Christian Church. Terri was preceded in death by her parents and her sister Mary Lynn Petty. She is survived by her husband of 52 years, John R. Foley, 2 children, Michelle Kuzmic and her husband Frank, Scott Foley, grandchildren, Jakob Foley, Angeleise Foley, Lindsey Ann Marie Kuzmic and Frank Kuzmic, IV, and her brother, Richard Petty and his wife, Sandy. Her Aunt Wanda Faler, several nieces, nephews and cousins. She had a heart as big as the outdoors and was a very loving wife, mother and grandmother and never could walk past a baby without wanting to pick it up nor ever met a stranger.

 

She loved bowling and playing Bunco along with coaching her daughters softball team and being awarded the “MOST VOISTEROUS PARENT” at many basketball and volleyball games. She also had great enjoyment watching her grandchildren bowl, dance, run track, cross country and play tournament softball.

 

She was a true blue Royals fan and a very voicefulness Chiefs fan. She really enjoyed watching Patrick Mahomes lead the team to the Souperbowl last year and was told many times that the team could hear her cheering (screaming) from our living room to the stadium.  

 

She will be truly missed until we get to meet together again on the other side of Glory.

John and family, So saddened to hear of Terri's passing. . Remembering all the fond memories of her. Always loved her sense of humor and having her as a neighbor and long time friend. Always enjoyed her and Don battling over the Chiefs for that $1 bet! She will be missed.

John, Michelle, Scott and family, We are very sorry for your loss. We know how much Terri meant to the family and how much you'll miss her. We will miss her very much also. She will be remembered for her willingness to help with all kinds of things at the church and for being so down to earth that anyone could talk with her. I know I will miss conversations with her. She had the kind of love and grace God would want all of us to have. She was a great lady and we were blessed to know her. We pray for God to give all of you comfort and peace while your grieving and to strengthen you for the future days. Love, Matt and Sarah Jones

The Foley Family. We want to say that Terri made a place a home. For many years as a young man she was one of the kindest persons I knew, and remember. Her legacy of kindness and hospitality will always be remembered. She was part of a childhood that I can say was very fun, and it’s in giving thanks to people such and Terri. We are very sorry for your loss, and hope that the goodness we all knew Terri for, will help you through this tough time.

Dear John, Michelle, Scott, Rick, and all, I am profoundly saddened to hear of Teresa’s passing. She has always had a special place in my life since birth. It was always a special time when I came to Kansas City to visit my Grandmother Esther and Grandfather Deb Lord. Times with the Pettys was always one of the highlights of my visit. As adults we stayed in touch. I visited a few times with Pam, attended Michelle’ wedding and brought my son to introduce him to Teresa. We stayed in touch via email and We shaired news of our families. I knew of her illness and had hoped to drive down this spring to visit, but for the covid, I would have come. I am sure you will remember her with great love. She loved you loads. May her memory be a blessing. ❤️ Cousin Patti

Dear Family, I am at a loss for words at the loss of Terri. She was not just a sister in law- I loved her as a sister. We were also sisters in Christ. Both LeRoy and I will miss her greatly and our hearts go out to you. I cannot get the song, "I can only imagine" out of my head. I feel it is our dear Terri reminding me of the wondrous sights she is seeing! I take comfort, as I'm sure you do, in knowing we will be together again. Love to all.

Terri was such a sweet person. One of my memories - Terri was given "senior coffee" at the McDonald's on her way to see her Mom in Oklahoma long before she qualified for "senior coffee". Well then by golly, she always got her coffee there with no guilt 😊😊

Mother Teresa It's been 15 days now since the Lord called you home. He couldn't have blessed me with a better wife, mother, grandmother and life long friend. You are greatly missed right now but I also know we will be reunited again on His side of glory. Until then I also know that you've been able to reunite with family and friends that have gone before you and I know you had a great homecoming celebration. Free from the sickness and worries of this fallen world. Michelle, Scott, Jakob, Angeleise, Lindsey & Frankie all miss you as well and I know you are watching over them all. Lindsey's all star game is tomorrow night and she'll be using a new bat that was a special gift from grandma & grandpa and I told her every home run she hits will have your help in swinging the bat. And yes I'm continuing the tradition you set of a $5.00 reward for each home run she hits. That's if it's in the park. I've doubled it to $10.00 if it's out of the park. Probably going to cost me a lot of money over the next few years but well worth it to carry on your tradition. Until we meet again, Love, Pope John
