Terri Heston

Terri Lynn Heston, 62, of Redkey, Indiana, passed away unexpectedly Sunday, Sept. 10, 2023, at her residence.

Terri was born in Muncie, Indiana, on Jan. 13, 1961, a daughter of Herb Leon Heston and the late Frances Lenore (Devoss) Heston. She was a 1979 graduate of Jay County High School, attended Amber's Beauty College and was formerly employed as a secretary for Fugiett Construction. Terri attended Hickory Grove Church of the Brethren, was a member of the Ridgeville American Legion Ladies Auxiliary Post 507, took great pride putting flags out on Memorial Day and was a former softball player and avid karaoke singer. She enjoyed cooking, flowers, crocheting, collecting birdhouses, watching True Crime, NCIS, CSI and TV dramas, listening to classic rock and Patsy Cline, and supporting her grandchildren in anything they were involved in.

Born breech on Friday the 13th, with a tough, strong-willed, red-headed exterior, Terri would shoot it to you straight and tell you what she thought, but underneath it all she was truly a tender-hearted, kind and devoted mother, grandmother, daughter and friend who would drop everything to help you, was always there no matter what and was an excellent caregiver who loved the holidays and always put others before herself.

She is survived by her father Herb Heston; daughter Jaima Lynn Logan (Brandon Haberstich); brother Randy Heston (Joyce); sister LuAnn Fugiett (Rodney); three grandchildren, Justin, Lilly and Waylon Logan; her close cousin Gary Devoss; her best friend Mike Hunt; three nephews; one niece; and several cousins and extended family and friends.

Terri was preceded in death by her mother Frances Heston; brother Danny Heston; sister Diana Jo Heston; and sister-in-law Joyce Heston.

Visitation will be held on Thursday, Sept. 14, 2023, from 2 to 4 p.m. at MJS Mortuaries – Redkey Chapel. Funeral services will follow at 5 p.m. with Pastor Earl Doll officiating. Burial will be held privately at a later date in Hillcrest Cemetery in Redkey, Indiana.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to MJS Mortuaries – Redkey Chapel (P.O. Box 25, Redkey, IN 47373).
