Terri Elaine (Rider) Guerrero

Terri Elaine Rider Guerrero, age 65, of Broadway, NC, passed away Thursday, July 18, 2024 at the SECU Jim & Betsy Bryan Hospice Center of UNC in Pittsboro.

She was born in Kanawha County, West Virginia on May 11, 1959 to the late Roger Leo Rider and Lois Jacqueline Thomas Rider.  Terri is survived by her loving husband Gregory “Greg” Scott Guerrero; daughter Gina Guerrero and wife Cameron McNeill of Sanford; son Justin Guerrero of Sanford; sisters Lisa Rider of Lillington, Susan “Suzie” Cox and husband Billy of Dover, DE and grandchildren Frank Guerrero and Kirsten Gutkowski.  Terri graduated with an Associate’s Degree from Campbell University and worked in Quality Control in the pharmaceutical industry.

To know Terri was to know the light in life.  She lived her life to the complete fullest.  Terri loved hard and appreciated all of life’s ups and downs.  Terri and Greg were more than lucky to have chosen a life together.  Their lives have been filled with a copious amount of memories.  As a young girl, Terri’s family lived in West Virginia and Ohio until they settled in Sanford, NC, when Terri was 13 years old.  Here she found her joy.  Terri and Greg shared a love for travel and adventure and spent their earlier years living in Broadway, NC, Massachusetts, Colorado and Germany while Greg was active military.

Terri spent her life choosing adventures, happy times and family firsts.  They came back to North Carolina in 1985 to begin life’s next adventure as a family.  Terri loved her children (Gina & Justin) wholeheartedly and was a loyal and devoted mother.  Terri lived fully for her family, friends and dogs.  She was the best GiGi to her grandchildren (Frank & Kirsten).  Being loved by Terri felt like warmth on the best of days.  She will be missed tremendously and her life will live on through her loved ones.
