Terrie Tackett

Teresa Lynn Tackett, age 57 and a lifetime resident of Warsaw, passed away unexpectedly on Wednesday, April 17, 2019 at 2:58 a.m. in Kosciusko Community Hospital.

The daughter of Arlas Slaven and Sharon (Webster) Palmer, Terrie, as most knew her, was born on June 16, 1961 in Warsaw. She attended Tippecanoe Valley High School and worked for Crystal Lake Egg Products (Creighton Brothers) for more than thirty-two years.

Terrie was a sweet, outgoing personality who always had a smile. She rarely knew a stranger and found great reward in helping others. She was a giving, caring woman of faith with a true love for the Lord. She was a member of Living Hope Ministries in Warsaw. She also loved animals, especially dogs, and enjoyed watching professional wrestling and daytime dramas.

On July 4, 1998, Terrie was wed to Clifford Tackett. The two spent nearly twenty-one years together; Clifford survives in Warsaw. Also surviving are son, Cory Mackenzie Smith, Warsaw; mother, Sharon Palmer, Warsaw and sister, Linda (Roy) Cervantes, Columbia City. She was preceded in death by father, Arlas Slaven and both sets of grandparents.

Terrie’s life will be celebrated in a funeral service on Monday, April 22 at Noon in Titus Funeral Home, 2000 East Sheridan Street, Warsaw. Pastor Hedgel Perry of Living Hope Ministries will officiate with burial in Warsaw’s Oakwood Cemetery. Visitation will take place for two hours before the service.

Memorial gifts may be directed to Titus Funeral Home to assist the Tackett family with Terrie’s final expenses.
