Terri is a graduate of Mendenhall High School and Mississippi State University where she graduated with a bachelor's degree in elementary education. She also attended Co-Lin where she met her husband, Randy. Terri always had a heart for children and knew she would dedicate her life and career to them. She specifically focused on teaching kindergarten. For 25 years, she was a beloved teacher and friend to many, and also served as color guard instructor in Randy's bands. After spending a few years in Ackerman and Winona, the Loftin's spent the majority of their careers in Wesson. Terri was that teacher who treated everyone's children like her own. She treated friends and co-workers like family, and has remained close with the friends she has made over the years.

Upon retirement, she spent her time with her daughter, Lindsey, and her precious granddaughters, Kennedy and Mary Adley. She helped with field trips, birthday parties, homework and dance practices. She literally never missed a game, recital, birthday, Sunday dinner, tailgate or any activity. She was a familiar face around Simpson Academy supporting and helping her granddaughters and all the children there. She also enjoyed working at Mendenhall Mercantile, and she loved helping others. Her family and friends were most important to her, but she never met a stranger and truly loved all people.

Terri loved First Baptist Mendenhall and was an active member. She loved the Lord, and never stopped teaching everyone Christ's example to love one another unconditionally. She was an exceptional wife, mother, grandmother, daughter, sister, aunt and friend.
