With heartfelt sorrow, we announce the passing of Terry Noel née Richards, who left us on September 26, 2025. Born on May 9, 1962, Terry lived a life characterized by strength, determination, and an unwavering spirit, leaving an indelible mark on those who were blessed to know her.

Terry is survived by a host of loving family members who deeply mourn her loss. These include her mother, Barbara Holden; her devoted husband, Charles Noel; her brothers, Tyrone Keys and Michael Stanley; her sister, Kassandra Coley; her aunt, Elsie Wilkins; and numerous cousins,  Roslyn Heggins, Mennyvette Curtis, Shannon Wilkins, James Judkins, Randy Judkins, Diane Judkins, Arlene Judkins, Kevin Judkins, and Rodney Judkins.

A memorial service to celebrate Terry’s life will be held on Saturday, October 18, 2025, at 12:00 PM at Diamondz Events & Catering LLC, 9980–9988 Liberty Road, Randallstown, MD 21133.

Terry had a vibrant personality which can best be described as resilient, courageous, independent, loyal, hardworking, and steadfast. These qualities could also be seen in her love for the Baltimore Ravens and her appetite for Seafood, which she often enjoyed while cheering for her team on game days.

Despite health challenges, Terry's unwavering courage and grace were some of her greatest accomplishments. Her life's mantra of perseverance was a beacon of inspiration to everyone around her. Her legacy is one of strength, grace, determination and hope.

In lieu of flowers, donations are being accepted for the American Kidney Fund, a cause near to Terry's heart. Contributions can be made on the following URL: https://everloved.com/life-of….

What we'd like to share most is how deeply Terry will be missed. She was more than just a sister, aunt, cousin or friend. She was a source of warmth, laughter, and love that will continue to shine in our hearts. Although we are comforted knowing her spirit remains with us, her physical absence leaves a void that cannot be filled.

Hello everyone! I just want you all to know that I’m home now. The whole family asked me to tell all of you hello and send their love.

On behalf of Terry,

When I’m Gone

When I come to the end of my journey

And I travel my last weary mile,

Just forget, if you can, that I ever frowned

And remember only the smile.

Forget unkind words I have spoken,

Remember some good I have done.

Forget that I ever had heartache

And remember I’ve had loads of fun.

Forget that I’ve stumbled and blundered

And sometimes fell by the way.

Remember I have fought some hard battles

And won, ere the close of the day.

Then forget to grieve for my going,

I would not have you sad for a day.

But in summer, just gather some flowers

And remember the place where I lay.

And come in the shade of evening

When the sun paints the sky in the west.

Stand for a few moments beside me

And remember only my best.

Love,

Terry

A Prayer for a Wonderful Person 

Heavenly Father,

We thank You for the beautiful life of Your servant, Terry a kind and loving soul who touched so many hearts. Her laughter, her strength, and her compassion were gifts that reflected Your light. Lord, we ask that You welcome her into Your eternal peace, where there is no more pain, only joy in Your presence. Surround her with Your angels and let her spirit rest in Your everlasting love. We also pray for those she leaves behind her husband, family, and friends that You comfort them in their sorrow and fill their hearts with cherished memories and quiet strength. Remind them that love never dies, it only changes form. May her life continue to inspire us to live with kindness, faith, and gratitude.

In Jesus’ name we pray,

Amen.
