Terry was born on August 18, 1947, in Madison, Wisconsin, to Mitchell and Ruth (Kolstad) Vogel. She spent her formative years in Madison, graduating with the inaugural class of LaFollette High School in 1965 and later from Madison Business College in 1968. On September 2, 1967, she joyfully united in marriage with Stephen E. Meloy in Madison. The couple initially resided in Madison before establishing their home in Johnson Creek. Terry began her professional journey as a church secretary, later transitioning to the role of secretary for Stephen at Mansfield State Bank. Subsequently, she found fulfillment as the receptionist for the Jefferson County WIC program, where her passion for aiding children flourished.

Terry exuded a vibrant enthusiasm for life, as reflected in her passion for gardening, cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, and the serenity of a crackling fireplace. Her delightful spirit found expression in the simple joy of savoring ice cream with chocolate sauce. A skilled seamstress, she delighted in crafting extraordinary Halloween costumes for her grandchildren, showcasing her creative talents. Her compassionate nature extended to a deep affection for animals, and her generosity knew no bounds. Terry leaves behind a legacy of joy, creativity, and unwavering kindness.

Terry was a member of WELCA and a 4 H leader for many years.
