A graduate of Northridge High School in Dayton in 1962, Terry went on to earn her degree from Miami-Jacobs College of Business in 1964, where she served as a member and secretary of the Alpha Iota International Honorary Business Sorority. She built a diverse career as an administrative assistant, bookkeeper, and office manager. From 1976 to 1984, she owned and managed The County Seat Hotel and Restaurant in Lebanon, Indiana. She concluded her professional life as a marketing assistant at Eli Lilly and Company in Indianapolis.
