Terry Elizabeth Neiswonger

May 24, 1954 - August 17, 2021

Terry Elizabeth Neiswonger, 67, passed away on Tuesday, August 17, 2021. Terry was born on May 24, 1954, in Warren, Pennsylvania to Mr. Cyril Donahey and Mrs. Estella Beatty Baumgratz (William Francis).

Terry was a devoted christian with her membership at First Assembly Of God in Earle, Arkansas, where she was part of the women's group. She had many hobbies that kept her busy when she was not at church, including, listening to Casting Crowns, New Song, Jim Reeves, Patsy Cline, and even some Blue Grass. She never missed an episode of MASH, Ponderosa, The Golden Girls, The Ranch with Sam Elliot, and she loved Johnny Depp as Jack Sparrow in Pirates of the Caribbean. She collected beads to make jewelry, cobalt blue glass, Snoopy, Lions, and Tiggers from Winnie The Pooh. Her family was also important to her. She was a loving ''Granny'' and opened her home to anyone.

Those left behind to cherish her memory are one son, Thomas Burton Johnston III; one daughter, Kelly Lynn Sundy; five grandchildren, Symphony Snow VanBrussel, Amanda Rachel Alberston, Makayla Lynn Bellmore, Patricia Elizabeth Johnston, and Harmony Rayne VanBrussel; one brother David Donahey; and three sisters, Margie Allio, Jeannie Raff, and Ellen Caraway.

She was preceded in death by her husband of seventeen years, Alan Duane Neiswonger, who passed away on 09-09-09. They had been friends since they were teenagers and he watched her marry two husbands before taking the plunge from friendship to matrimony. They were married on August 22, 1992, at which time she became "Al's T.E.N''. Also preceding her in death was her mother and father; stepfather; two previous husbands, two brothers Steven and George Donahey; two grandchildren, Thomas Burton Johnston IV and Melody Sunshine VanBrussel; one great-grandchild, Karma Iza Bellmore.

Terry and her children have been part of my life ever since I was born as they were the neighbors!

I have many memories of Terry!

She will be missed!

Tommy and Kelly know that the Wayne family will keep you all in thoughts and prayers!

Hold onto the wonderful memories that you have of your Mama Bear! You will have your good days and bad days. Just know that Mama Terry wouldn't want you to sit in sorrow and she would probably give a swift kick in the behind to keep going forward. She is no longer suffering but is free with her Mom and Dad up in Heaven probably just ruffling feathers!

Love you!
