Teri Lane Grider, 70, passed away on January 30, 2026. She was born on July 29, 1955, in Grand Island, Nebraska, to Charles and Joann Mowry.
Teri loved Jesus with her whole heart, and her faith carried her through every season of life. Her greatest joy was her family, especially her grandchildren. She was ever-present in their lives, always showing up and always involved. She and her husband Jim made it a routine to spend intentional time with each of their grandchildren, never missing the chance to be together. Each evening, Teri and Jim made their way to the lake, a place that held deep meaning to them, tied to Michael’s final moments, and remained a meaningful part of their daily lives.
She was a talented artist who loved to paint, an incredible cook, and was especially known by her grandchildren for her French toast. Teri was beautiful inside and out, with a kind heart, steady faith, and an enduring love for those around her.
She is survived by her husband, James Grider; her children, Marci Kern, Hannah Ford and husband Brian, and Jacob Grider and wife Alex; her grandchildren, Jackson, Samuel, Luke, Lane, Kennedy, and Casey; and her brother and sister-in-law, Ron and Jane Mowry. She was preceded in death by her son Michael Worley Self, her parents, and her sisters Sharon Quinn and Ronda Tuttle.
