Terri’s surviving family proudly remembers and honors her memory. She is lovingly survived by her devoted husband of 20 years, Arthur Petrozzi; her son, Drew R. Foster; his wife, Jennifer Lamie; and her grandson, Drew J. Foster.

She was predeceased by her parents, Robert and Bettie Magnusen, and her brother, Robert Magnusen.

Terri’s life was marked by a deep commitment to family, a passion for hospitality, and a warm spirit that touched everyone she met.

Her life began in the Deep South, as her father served in the United States Air Force. She was born at Keesler Air Force Base in Biloxi, Mississippi, and her family eventually settled in Liverpool, New York, where she graduated from Liverpool High School.

Terri dedicated her professional life to Syracuse China, where she began her career as a typist and, through hard work and determination, rose to become the executive assistant to the Plant Manager before her retirement.

Above all, Terri was a devoted mother. She raised her son Drew in Baldwinsville, New York, where she spent countless hours supporting him, driving him to and from practices and games, and faithfully cheering him on in every sport season.

Terri found true love when she met her husband, Art, at a Corvette show. From that moment on, they were inseparable, sharing over 25 years together and 20 years of marriage filled with love, companionship, and unwavering support for one another.

She had a gift for bringing people together and truly loved hosting friends and family, always making sure everyone felt welcome and had a good time. Whether it was a small gathering or a larger celebration, Terri created an atmosphere of warmth, laughter, and connection.

Her favorite place in the world was by the pool, where she found joy, relaxation, and time spent with those she loved most. Terri and Art also shared a love of travel and cherished their winters in Orlando, Florida, creating many lasting memories together.

Terri will be remembered for her kindness, her strength, her unwavering love for her family, and the joy she brought into the lives of those around her. Her presence will be deeply missed, but her memory will live on in the hearts of all who knew and loved her.
