Michelle Henderson Terry – beloved wife, mother, daughter, sister and friend to all, peacefully passed away on June 11, 2022 after a valiant and courageous seven-year battle with metastatic breast cancer surrounded by her loving family.

Michelle was born on December 3, 1971 in Salt Lake City, Utah to Sebron Edgar and LaWanna (Mair) Henderson. She was the second of five children, and the most amazing sister.

Michelle was raised in West Jordan where she was heavily involved with swimming. She worked as a lifeguard in her teenage years and also taught swimming lessons.

She graduated from West Jordan High School in 1990, where she was on the swimming team and had many friends. Those with special needs gravitated towards her because of her pure and loving heart.

After high school, she attended SLCC where she earned her AAS degree in nursing. She was a member of the LDS Sorority and made lifelong friends there.

She served an LDS mission to Pusan, Korea from 1994-1995. She fell in love with the people and culture and taught many about the gospel.

Michelle married the love of her life Keith Brooks Terry on January 16, 1997 in the Salt Lake LDS Temple. They have 3 amazing children – Kamryn (21), Kyle (19), and Brooklyn (16). She was an extraordinary wife and mother. She loved her children dearly and loved to support them in all of their extra-curricular activities. She thoroughly enjoyed spending time with her family and extended family.

She was an active member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints and served valiantly in any calling that she had.

Michelle worked as a nurse at St. Mark’s Hospital, until her illness would no longer allowed her to.

Even until her last breath, she shared her testimony of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and his infinite love for each and every one of us. She wanted all of us to be happy and to always have an “Attitude of Gratitude”.
