Terry A Laughlin

Terry A Laughlin, a beloved mother, friend, and Gigi, passed away on July 17, 2023, in Alliance, Ohio. She was born on March 25, 1952, in Trieste, Italy. With a heavy heart and cherished memories, we gather here to celebrate the beautiful life she lived and the profound impact she had on those around her.

Terry was known for her joyful spirit and her love for Myrtle Beach. She found solace and happiness in the soothing waves and sandy shores. The countless hours spent there brought her immense joy and tranquility. Her fondness for Myrtle Beach will forever be treasured by those who knew her.

One of Terry's greatest roles in life was being a mom friend—a kind soul who always had a listening ear and a supportive shoulder to lean on. Her nurturing nature created a safe space for her loved ones to share their joys and sorrows. Terry's children found strength and comfort in her unwavering presence; she was their rock through thick and thin.

Being called "Gigi" was an honor that Terry embraced with open arms. She showered her grandchildren with boundless love and endless affection. Their laughter filled her heart with immeasurable happiness. From bedtime stories to baking cookies together, Gigi created lifelong memories that will forever be cherished by her grandchildren.

Throughout her life, Terry took great pride in witnessing her family grow and fill with love. Her greatest accomplishment was not measured in worldly achievements but rather in the love and bond shared by those dear to her heart.

Terry will be deeply missed by all who had the pleasure of knowing her. She is survived by her daughter Jennifer Zufall, son Andrew Zufall, son Christopher Zufall, son-in-law Chris Hicks, daughter-in-law Shannon Zufall, sister Violetta Jan, brother Lee Laughlin, brother-in-law Bruno Rigo, sister-in-law Peggy Laughlin, and her treasured grandchildren: Kaitlyn and John Rothermel, Christopher and Abigail Andrews, Jaquiez and Sara Sampson, Courtney Zufall, Austin and Mia Zufall, Allia Zufall, Makena Zufall, Kennadi Zufall. Her legacy carries on through her great-grandchildren: Addison, Gavyn, Carsyn, Cecilia, Brielynn, Jhett, Ariella, Cohen, Alaya, Quran.

Terry's parents Robert Laughlin and Cecilia Laughlin precede her in death. They will be reunited in eternal peace.

In this difficult time of grief and loss, let us find solace in the memories we shared with Terry. May her spirit continue to guide us as we navigate life's journey. She will forever remain alive in our hearts.
