Terri Lynn Cashion Jeter

Terri Lynn Cashion was the oldest of Clyde and Mamie's six grandchildren, though they did not live long enough to meet any of them, we're sad to say. She was born on March 30, 1954, and adopted by Norma and John Cashion. She grew up gifted (especially in music), beautiful and gracious. She married Albert Jeter and they had three children, Emily Cashion Jeter (Dec. 1981-), Elizabeth Bradley Jeter (March 2, 1984-) and Amanda Frances Jeter (June 23, 1990-). Tragically, Terri Lynn died young, in May 1996, of a brain tumor.

Terri Lynn may have been the cutest baby ever born.

Terri Lynn battled cancer with grace and courage. Here she is in December 1994 with her lovely mom, Norma Cashion, her wonderful husband, Al Jeter, and beautiful daughters Elizabeth, Emily and Amanda.

Terri Lynn's legacy shines brightly in her children, Emily, Amanda and Elizabeth, here with their dad, Al Jeter, in late 1996. In the years that followed, Al happily remarried, to Anne Mosier Chapman (married on June 7, 2003), but Terri retains a special place in our hearts and history.
