Terry Firth Wallin passed from this earth on Friday, June 9th, 2023. Terry was born to Rex Lane and Peggy Ann Snow Firth on March 18th, 1946. She was survived by her wonderful husband, Bruce; three of her siblings Tim Firth, Holly Elliott and Caprice Nutley; her eight children and many grandchildren and great grandchildren.
Terry was a devout member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. She served many callings in her time, as well as a mission with her husband in Australia. She enjoyed spending time with her family more than anything else. She loved adventurous road trips with her children (typically Holly and her boys in tow) and putting together intricate treasure hunts on the holidays for her children, making the gift at the end that much more precious.
At her request, a private family graveside will be held on Saturday, July 1st at 11:00 AM at Larkin Sunset Gardens, 1950 E. Dimple Dell Rd. (10600 S.), Sandy.
She gave her children ROOTS and WINGS. The ROOTS of values, integrity, discipline, strength and hard work. The WINGS to go out into the world and explore it for ourselves. Ultimately learning that the ROOTS were what we could and would fall back on.
Thank you mom for giving us these gifts. We love you always and forever.
Terry, I remember you as a teenager when I was a teenager you were always so fun and I loved your kids. They were all so fun. I’m sorry to hear of your passing. My dad passed away last year shy of 101 years old. he was amazing and he always liked the Firths we really enjoyed your family. We had some good times with all you guys. I hope your kids are doing OK. It’s hard to lose a mom. My mom‘s been gone for nine years and my dad‘s been gone a year and it really is hard to stay close together then you’ll make it, come visit us at the ranch call me and I’ll give you the combination and you can visit us. We love it take care all you grandkids and kids. Your mom was a great girl and your family. We loved love, Wendy Moench i’m sorry I couldn’t make it to the funeral. I know it was private but I wanted to send my condolences I live at the Foothill assistant living and I have heart failure so I’m not doing too well and so I just wanted you to know that I was so sorry to hear about. Terry.
Terry and Bruce have been special Salmon friends for many years and I miss them. Kent and I spent many hours on river and temple trips with the Wallins. And Terry was always a willing friend to go to Hamilton, Montana with me for one reason or another. I was happy on those trips to hear stories about how her family was doing and their adventures. I hope this message gets to Bruce and her children because I want them to know how much I love their wife and mother. I also hope Terry and my Kent are enjoying reminiscences on the "other side".
