Arriving on a splendid autumn day, Terri Kay Michael, age 53, found eternal solace on June 19, 2017. Blondie, as she was known to friends, was born September 23, 1963 to Carolyn and Mike Michael in Leavenworth, KS. A curly haired tot with a mischievous grin, Terri grew up in the Kansas City area with her older sisters Donna and Kelly. As a young woman, Terri traveled across the U.S. on long haul trucks, making her permanent home in Arkansas. In 1993 she welcomed the arrival of daughter Taylor. Terri adored her only child and spoke of her with motherly pride. Terri will be remembered as an independent, free spirited, stubborn lass with beautiful big blue eyes and an infectious laugh. Terri was predeceased by her daddy Orry "Mike" Michael and brother William Shreve. She is survived by her daughter Taylor Myers of Oklahoma, parents Carolyn and Bill Shreve of Oklahoma, sisters Donna Bellows of Alaska (Cory), Kelly Hunter of Nevada (Joe Beggs), Erika Erdmann of Kansas (Wade), Ashley Frost of Oklahoma and brother John Hughes of Missouri. Nephews and nieces Brandon Stumpe (Diana), Blair Stumpe, Kathy DiGrandi (Bob), Kristy Hunter, Brittany Anaya (Carlos), Tyler Shreve (Melina), Reese Shreve, Natalie Shreve, Grace Frost and Aspen Frost. Terri is also survived by her partner Darryl Wilds, estranged husband Toney Givens, great nieces and nephews, as well as her cousins and numerous friends
