Tery Drummond

Teresa Ann Drummond, 65, of Bradford, was called to take her place with the Angels in Heaven on Monday, June 8, 2020.

Tery was born October 1, 1954, in Austin, TX, to Norma Jean Cantrell Montgomery and George K. Montgomery.

Tery attended schools in Texas and New York before moving to Artesia, NM, where she lived with her mother and family, and graduated from Artesia High School in 1971. Following graduation, she traveled to Spain prior to attending Bauder Fashion College in Arlington, TX, where she earned an Associate Degree in Interior Design in 1973.

On September 14, 1974, in Lovington, NM, she married Robert G. Drummond, who survives.

Tery raised her three children, Dale, Megan, and Robbie, to be caring and successful adults. She lovingly gave her time and energy to building a home and environment that kept her family bound to her, her home, and each other. She was tremendously proud of her children and their accomplishments and
welcomed any opportunity to share their stories with anyone.

Tery was particularly proud of her grandchildren, and her love and enjoyment of time with the "Grands" was evident to all.

Tery nurtured her creative side throughout life. She was an accomplished seamstress, at times making clothes for herself and her family. This led her to embroidery, cross-stitching, and later into other crafting projects for gifting and display at home. Her bell collection was treasured and served to evoke memories of places visited, and occasions celebrated. She always sought new ways to decorate her home, but Christmas time was her favorite. Every room, shelf, and corner in her home was a display of Christmas cheer.

Tery also loved traveling. She had a goal with her husband Rob of visiting all our National Parks. Before her passing, Rob and Tery had accomplished much of that goal and gained inspiration from the beauty each visit offered. Disney World was a park she would have gone to every week, if given the chance, especially with her children and the Grands.

Tery retired from Walmart in 2014 after 11 years. She had previously worked at DeSelle's Candy, Ames Department Store, K-Mart, and independently as a child-care provider. She was a Patron Member of the NRA and a Life Member of the McKean County Rifle Club, where she served as Secretary for 30 years
and was active in planning and staging many events, including State, Regional, and National Championship Tournaments. For several years, she was a volunteer for Ms. Wheelchair America events.

Tery is survived by her husband of 46 years, Rob, three children, Dale E. Drummond, of Morrisville, NC, Megan M. (Ian) Abrams of Bradford, and Robert E. (Rachelle) Drummond of Elon, NC, four grandchildren, Bailee LeeAnn Drummond, R. Tucker Drummond, Cierra Hatch, and Rachael Hatch, two great-grandchildren, Ryder and Holden, one sister Cheri Long, two brothers, Steven (Guylene) Montgomery and Randy Montgomery, five sisters-in-law, Marcella Drummond, Martha (Frank) Mackey, Melinda (William) Howard, Laurie (Michael) Ware, and Amy (Chuck) Davidson, one brother-in-law, Michael (Susan) Drummond, and many nieces, nephews, cousins, aunts and uncles.

She was preceded in death by her mother, who she loved and missed every day, her father, three brothers, Ed, Thai, and Charlie, her youngest sister, Cheryl, and her niece, Kristen.

Friends will be received on Sunday, June 14, 2020, from 3:00 PM to 6:00 PM at Hollenbeck-Cahill Funeral Homes, Inc., 33 South Ave.

Words are so hard to find right now. When I needed a true friend God somehow made it happen, I was blessed enough to meet Tery. She was there for me when things got tough, through my surgeries and treatments.. When things seemed bleak, Tery would make me smile. She was such a strong and caring woman. There are not words in any language to describe how amazing she was. My thoughts and prayers are with Rob and the Family. Please know that we are with you. If ever we can help, please let us know. As she flies on silver wings, I know that she will always be with us. Yet I will miss her and our talks so very much. Hugs and love to Rob & The Family.

Hard to put what I am feeling. Sad, numb, lost, unbelief, and the list goes on. My heart is broken, but I know yours is completely whole and no longer in pain. And I am happy for that. God was extra nice to me the day I was born and you became the best sister I could have gotten. And I miss you ?? so much. But we will meet again and what a day that will be. Rob, you are a Godsend also. He blessed Tery with the best, loving, kind when she married you. She loves you so much and she trusted you totally. She actually told me that one day. Dale, Megan and Rob E, she loves y’all so much. Grandkids are her life. My heart ?? breaks for each of you. Love y’all and definitely praying for strength, wisdom and peace for us all.

As a longtime friend of Tery''s son, Dale, my wife Claire and I would like to express our sadness on hearing this news. We''re very grateful for our friendship with Dale, and although we never met Tery, to know Dale is to know someone who values loyalty and friendship, and I can only imagine those things were instilled by Tery. Please accept our condolences, and we sincerely hope there are times of celebration, joy, and hope in the midst of the sadness.
