Terry Lynn (Lee) Conduff, 68, of Waldron, Arkansas went to be with her Lord and Savior, Friday, July 26, 2024 surrounded by her loving family. Terry was born on September 12, 1955 to Jimmie Howard and Marjorie Elaine (Carl) Lee in Roseville, California. She was currently a member Union Hill Free Will Baptist Church in Union Hill, Arkansas after having been a member of Christian Life Cathedral in Fayetteville, Arkansas for over 30 years.
Terry was married to the love of her life, Ernie Conduff for 49 marvelous years. Together they raised two amazing children and played a huge role in the lives of their grandchildren. Known for her baking skills, Terry was a beloved figure at the school choirs’ afternoon practices, where the students affectionately referred to her as “Mommom.” Her culinary talents brought joy to many. An avid traveler, Terry’s love for exploring different cultures merged seamlessly with her passion for helping children, leading her on numerous missionary trips to Honduras, Argentina, Mexico, and Guatemala. Her playful spirit shone through as she delighted in dressing up as a clown and entertaining children wherever she went, along with her love of wearing dress hats for nearly all occasions.
A true Proverbs 31 woman, Terry dedicated her life to serving others. She remained a prayer warrior, even in her final days as she bravely battled cancer. With a servant’s heart, she touched countless lives through her ministry work alongside her spouse, Ernie, serving in vocational ministry for 49 years.
Having a gift of hospitality, Terry welcomed over 300 mothers and children into her home over the years, providing shelter, mentorship, food, and love. Terry’s memory will live on through the lives she touched and the compassionate work she dedicated herself to; including founding the nonprofit organization LifeSource International with Ernie where they served as executive directors. She leaves behind a profound impact and a legacy of love, generosity, and service that will be cherished by all who had the privilege of knowing her.
Terry leaves behind to cherish her memory her husband Ernie and two children: JoAnna and husband Zachary Hale of Waldron, Arkansas and Jimmie and wife Lupe Conduff of Fayetteville, Arkansas.
