Terri Gentry's passion for the joy of all of us has been a driving force in various initiatives throughout Colorado. Terri has and continues to consistently show a selfless spirit that inspires others. Her ability to bring people together for a common cause speaks volumes about her leadership qualities and the respect she commands in our community. She holds empathy and kindness that goes beyond what many of us can imagine and she has touched the hearts of many, creating a ripple effect of compassion that extends beyond her immediate circles.
“Terri's genuine concern for the well-being of others has left an indelible mark on the fabric of our city. Whether it's uplifting spirits during tough times or celebrating victories, Terri has been a pillar of strength for those around her and she is the gatekeeper of so much of our history, ensuring that we call upon the names that systemically have been left out of the narrative. Terri Gentry embodies the spirit of community, and her contributions will be remembered and cherished for years to come. It was an honor to sit and talk with THE Terri Gentry!” MiDian Holmes
