Obituary of Terry L. Chafin
Please share a memory of Terry to include in a keepsake book for family and friends.
Terry Lynn Chafin
April 16, 1961 – May 11, 2025
Our beloved daughter, sister and aunt was received home by her Mom & Dad on May 11, 2025.
In her youth, Terry had great memories of working at Richman's Restaurant headquarters, enjoying rock concerts and being part of Trinity United Methodist Church Youth Group. She became the long-time caretaker of her mother and cherished the time they spent together.
She was a huge animal lover and thru the years had several dogs and cats, but her teacup poodle, Buffy had a special place in her heart. She always considered her nieces and nephews her children and loved watching our family grow.
She was predeceased by her parents; Dewey Lee & Dorothy Ann Chafin and brother-in-law Lawrence M. Zimmerman.
Terry is survived by sister, Debra C. Zimmerman and brother Donald Chafin (Michele).
She was a great friend and best aunt to Larry Zimmerman (Valerie), Lisa Valentino (Lou), Crystal Chafin, Amy Zimmerman, Brittana Fletcher, Kevin Chafin (Brittany), George Fletcher, Jr. and Kelly Townsend (Norm).
She enjoyed being a Great-Aunt and play-mate to Lauren Zimmerman, Lacy Zimmerman, Emily Fisher (Riley), Carly Valentino, Vanessa Lindsay, Mekenzi Chafin, Casey Valentino, Chloe Valentino, Brooklynne Whatley, Brynlee Chafin, Brienna Chafin, Landon Townsend and Lyla Townsend.
Terry was over joyed last year by becoming a Great-Great Aunt to Zachary Valentino.
Terry's smile could light up any room and if you heard her giggle, you just couldn't help but giggle along with her! Please join us in celebrating her life on June 6, 2025 at 1:00pm at Trinity United Methodist Church, S. Broadway & Church St, Pennsville, NJ 08070. Interment to follow at the Baptist Cemetery, York St, Salem NJ.
