Teri Lyn Monroe March 8, 1964 - November 16, 2019

Teri Monroe, of Harrison, passed away at home, at the age of 55. The daughter of Rodney and Sherry (Cooper) Monroe, Teri was born in Little Rock. A resident of Harrison for the past 33 years, she belonged to Eagle Heights Baptist Church and the Mary Sunday School Class for the past 25 years.
Teri graduated from Brinkley High School in 1982 and held a Master’s Degree in Library/Media from the University of Central Arkansas. She was the librarian at Harrison Middle School for 31 years, until her health no longer permitted.
Teri loved dogs, especially her dogs, Princess and Hope. She also enjoyed cooking and going to the lake. Teri was a friend to everyone. She loved movie night with her friends and getting manicures and pedicures. She loved going to church and her Sunday school class. Teri was Godly, compassionate, loyal, faithful and selfless. She was very generous, often behind the scenes, giving to anyone who needed it. Throughout her sickness, she was never bitter, telling her family and friends, “it would all be worth it if just one person came to know the Lord because of it”. She wanted to take everyone to Heaven with her.
She was preceded in death by her grandparents, Lloyd and Penzel Cooper and Norvell and Louise Monroe. Teri is survived by her mother, Sherry Monroe, her father, Rodney Monroe and her sister, Michele Monroe. She is also survived by many other relatives and her “extended family” including her beloved friends and their children who called her “WeeWee”.
