Terri Deborah Hotchkiss

Terri Hotchkiss (Theresa Deborah) of Cumming, Georgia went to be with her Lord and Savior on March 19, 2019.

Terri was born and raised in Pittsburgh, PA. She lived in California two different times, but she called Georgia home for over 40 years. She was married to her sweetheart, Ed, for 62 years. Terri poured her life and love into her family and community and we are all better for it. She was called "Buga" and adored by her five grandchildren. Over the years, Terri was an active member of Corpus Christi Catholic Church, Trinity Worship Center and First Redeemer Church. She served with great joy as a chaplain at Northside Forsyth Hospital and as a Stephens Minister.

God's grace filled her and allowed her to care deeply and love freely. She will be remembered for her warm hugs, good deeds towards the hurting and abundant love. She fully exercised her amazing gifts of prayer, encouragement, mercy and hospitality to benefit others. Jesus surely said, "Well done, my good and faithful servant" when He brought her home this week.

Theresa is survived by her beloved husband, Edward Hotchkiss.

Children; Edward (Dena) Hotchkiss of Minnesota, Kelly (Michael) Zehfuss of Illinois.

Siblings; Stanley (Valerie) Renekiewicz of Pennsylvania, and Elaine Selai of Pennsylvania.
