Terri Lynne Herbert (née Peterson)

Bath, NY

Terri Lynne Herbert, 61, passed peacefully in the early hours of Sunday, October 19th, surrounded by her husband and daughters after courageously battling breast cancer and its effects for 12 years.

She was born on February 9, 1964 and spent her life in Bath, NY, where she built a legacy of care, laughter, and love. For decades, Terri worked as a nurse, providing compassion and comfort to countless people in her community. Her patients and coworkers knew her for her humor, her strength, and her unshakable kindness.

Terri’s greatest joy was her family, especially her grandchildren, who were the light of her life. She adored 80s rock, anything green and growing, and any excuse to wear a silly costume. She was active in her church and known for diving headfirst into life’s moments with a grin and a joke.

She is survived by her husband, Kenneth Herbert of Bath; her daughter Amanda Kelly and granddaughter Hunter Abbey of Syracuse; her daughter Lindsey (Devroy) Peterson and grandchildren Hailey and Emmett of Big Flats; her sister Sandra Fink of Bath; her nieces and nephews Linette Turbeville, Julie Hernandez, Rebecca Tyler Gay, Brian Tyler, Stephanie Stover, Kevin Fink, Katherine Jewell, their families, and several cousins.

Terri was preceded in death by her parents, Edwin and Julia Peterson, and her sisters Gayle Tyler and Suzanne Smith.

She will be remembered for her endless love, her contagious laugh that could be picked out in a crowd of thousands, and her favorite nickname for everyone, “goofball.” Terri never complained through 12 years of battle and was, in her own perfectly, wildly inappropriate way, the toughest fighter around.

Calling hours will be held on Saturday, October 25th at Bond-Davis Funeral Home in Bath, NY from 12:00pm - 2:00pm with a private burial for the family to follow. A celebration of Terri’s life will be held in the spring she loved so much, with details to be announced. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Pluta Cancer Foundation to support breast cancer research: https://plutacancerfoundation.org/donate/

Terri had more love in her than she knew what to do with, and she gave it freely. She will be deeply missed by all the lives she touched.

“Let it roll!”
