Terri L. (Walker) Walker-Devoy
September 27, 1965 — February 2, 2015
Terri L. Walker-DeVoy, 49, of Lake Geneva, WI died Monday, February 2, 2015 at home. She battled stage III invasive lobular breast cancer since December of 2008. Almost 4 years later, the cancer metastasized to the bones, which eventually spread to the brain, liver, and stomach. Terri was born on Sept. 27, 1965, the daughter of Robert A. and Gilberta L. (Hugg) Walker. She was the loving wife of Bruce DeVoy, married November 1, 1991, and the devoted mother to her sons, Jordan and Cody. Terri lived in Delavan, WI for 48 years, before relocating with her family to Lake Geneva in 2013.
Terri graduated Delavan-Darien High School in 1984, received a Bachelors degree in Psychology from Upper Iowa University in 2006, and a Masters degree in Counseling from Lakeland College in 2008. Terri worked in education for 12 years, to include Substitute Teacher and Middle School Counselor for Lake Geneva Joint 1 School District, and most recently as a Tutoring and Testing Specialist for Blackhawk Technical College.
The spirit of giving always came naturally to Terri. She served as an Emergency Medical Technician for the Delavan Rescue Squad and a Mental Health Counselor for the American Red Cross. As a Charter Member, Terri served as Junior Vice-President for The Daughters of Union Veterans of the Civil War, Mary Cheseboro Lee Tent No. 23, and was a member of Walworth County Genealogical Society. Terri is remembered with love and respect as an outstanding woman of strength and resilience, passionately helping others in time of need. She provided a lifetime of love and dedication to her family and friends. Her cheerful spirit, endless compassion and quick wit brightened the lives of all who knew her.
Terri is survived by her husband, Bruce DeVoy, and 2 sons Jordan DeVoy, of Lake Geneva, WI; and Cody DeVoy, of Lake Geneva, WI; and 2 sisters Peggy Chlebos of Monroe, MI; Jacqueline Miramontes of Lake Geneva, WI. She was preceded in death by her parents, Robert Walker and Gilberta (Hugg) Walker, grandparents; Charles “Art” Walker, Jessie (Williams) Walker, and Clifford Hugg, Marguerite (Rucker) Hugg.
