It is in great sorrow to announce that Terri Lynn Hansen of Baker City, died Thursday, June 28, 2018 at home surrounded by her family. A Celebration of Life will be held Saturday, July 7, 2018~3pm at 1700 Estes Street in Baker City. A dinner including all of Terri’s favorite dishes will be provided. 

Terri was born February 1, 1964 in Portland, Oregon to Richard and Constance Hansen. She was raised in Portland where she graduated from Marshall High School in 1982.  She then attended Portland Community College and moved to Southern California, attending Chaffey College.  She last resided in Baker City, Oregon.

In 1986 Terri had her only child, daughter Sherryne Constance Hansen.

Terri worked several years as a caregiver for assisted livings including Settlers Park here in Baker City.  She spent the last seven years at the Bi-Mart pharmacy and made several friends in the process.

Terri had many passions.  These included Star Trek (she was a Trekkie), she loved to read sci-fi and romance novels, crotchet and cross stitch. She wrote books, she sang (was in the newspaper for representing Portland in choir), she loved baking and would gift boxes of baked goods for loved ones, co-workers and friends during the holidays including the Star Trek anniversary the week of September 7th.

Terri loved to play board games and games on her tablet.  At the end her sister Connie brought her on a camping trip to Pilcher Lake and she fell in love with the area.

On June 22, 2018 Terri’s daughter was recognized for her service in the United States Navy, which was Terri’s last wish before she passed. 

This is a woman that had a huge heart and always thought of others before herself.  Terri loved her family and will always be remembered for her saying “Live long and prosper”.

Terri was preceded in death by her father Richard Hansen.

She is survived by her daughter Sherryne Winzeler (Hansen); granddaughters Chloe and Keira Stamas; mother Constance Hansen; sisters Tina Gonzales and Connie Cox (Hansen); Nieces Kayla Pollock, Angellia and Rose Andrade, Dianne Pollock, Kimberly Garcia, nephew David Weiss and 16 great nieces and nephews.
