Mary Ann Terrazas, age 67, born October 9, 1940 died after a courageous struggle with cancer on February 1, 2008. Mary Ann was born in Sumter, SC - the only child of Henry Allen Jayroe and Mabel Lyles Jayroe. She was preceded in death by her beloved son, Mark Anthony Terrazas. Mary Ann is survived by her loving husband of 47 years, Frank; their daughter, Teresa; and her son-in-law, Philip Gallegos. She is also survived by her sisters, Brenda Gilpin and husband, Terry, Susie Jayroe Timmons and her husband, Glen; and brother, Allen Jayroe. Mary Ann was the loving sister-in-law to her extended family in Chihuahua, Mexico, including Alicia Hernandez and husband, Ramon, Zulema Terrazas Ruiz and husband, Eloy, Teresa Terrazas Zapata and husband, Edilberto, and Jesus Terrazas and wife, Carmela; along with many nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends. Mary Ann spent her life selflessly caring for her severely handicapped son, Mark. Mary Ann's life was difficult and her sacrifices were many as she fought for the better quality of life not only for her son, but all developmentally disabled individuals seeking a better quality of life. She was a devoted wife and mother who inspired courage, unconditional love, and determination in all whose lives she touched. Mary Ann will continue to be loved and missed by all the lives she has touched in this world. Arrangements for a funeral mass will be announced at a later date.
