Terry Adair's Obituary
Terry Anne Adair, of Cherry Hill, NJ, passed away on June 14, 2025, at the age of 64. Born and raised in Philadelphia, PA, she was the cherished daughter of the late Donald and Jeanne (née Nagel) Adair Sr.
Terry was the beloved sister of Donald Adair Jr. (Bonnie), Robin Adair McColm (the late Bill), and Arlene Adair, and the loving aunt of Brett Adair. She is also survived by many cousins, extended family members, and a wide circle of devoted friends who will deeply miss her presence, humor, and kindness.
A dedicated accountant, Terry had retired from Bachmann Trains USA in Philadelphia, after over 40 years or service. Her lifelong passion was music and performance, especially through her involvement in drum and bugle corps. She not only marched but also gave back as an instructor for high school color guards and drum corps, inspiring countless young performers over the years.
Terry cherished her time on Long Beach Island and found great joy in the closeness she shared with her siblings and nephew.
Relatives and friends are invited to gather on Saturday, June 21st, from 12 PM to 1 PM at Givnish of Marlton, 398 East Main Street, Marlton, NJ 08053, for a time of remembrance. A service will follow at 1 PM, with refreshments to be served. Interment will be private.
