her home in Surprise Arizona. She was born October 10, 1948 to John L. and Barbara W.
Moore in Phoenix Arizona. She was married to Clive Griffy in 1965 and Edward Williams in
1980.
Teri spent most of her adult life serving others while working in healthcare as a nursing
assistant, operating room technician, and phlebotomist. Later in life she became a certified
chemical dependency counselor. Her faith and church life were very important to her. She loved
volunteering and serving her church family through facilitating small groups and by singing on
the worship team.
Teri is survived by her five children, Mark E. Griffy of Casa Grande, Cheryl L. Douglas of
Buckeye, T. Christine Bullock of Peoria, Kimberley T Ruble of Phoenix, Elizabeth A. Earl of
Surprise, sixteen grandchildren, six great grandchildren, her brothers John Moore of Litchfield
Park, David Moore of Palm Springs, CA, and her sisters Deborah Ruddock of Prescott Valley,
Angie Yare of Sun City West, Catherine Roer of Phoenix, Rachael Roer Marcus of Bainbridge
Island WA, as well as scores of nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends who loved her dearly.
She is predeceased by her younger sisters Johanna Brown (2006) and Lorraine Mowder (2022)
and by her grandson Benjamin Colyar. (2008)
A funeral service is scheduled for 10 am on August 6, at Turning Leaf Church, 5800 N.
Litchfield Rd, Litchfield Park, AZ.
Though she is now rejoicing in the loving arms of her savior, Teri has left an unfillable
void for those left behind. She was a lovely woman and was beloved by all who knew her.
