Terry Lee Caruso

With heavy hearts and fond memories, we announce the passing of Terry Lee Caruso, a beloved daughter, mother, partner, grandmother, sister, and friend. Terry peacefully departed this world on April 25, 2026, in her home, surrounded by her loving family, at the age of 62. Born on May 10, 1963, in Liberty, New York, Terry was the cherished daughter of Esther Joan Ernst and Kenneth Misner. Her father, Kenneth, preceded her in death, leaving behind a legacy of love and resilience that Terry carried forward. She is also survived by her devoted partner, Roger David Beesimer, and her loving mother, Joan Allison, along with her supportive step-father, Lee Allison. Terry's life was a tapestry woven with the vibrant threads of family, friendship, and creativity. She was the proud mother of three children: Jammie Caruso, who shares her life with partner Bryan Delcher; Brad Caruso; and Tiara Caruso, who is lovingly partnered with Artie Parnell. Terry's heart was further expanded with the joy of her eight grandchildren: Justin Taylor, Adrianna Rhodes, Sara Rhodes, Aurora Caruso, Lily Taylor, Madison Parnell, Blake Parnell, and Aliya Caruso. Each of them was a bright star in her universe, and she cherished the time spent cooking, crafting, and sharing her love of life with them. Terry's sister, Sandra Misner, also survives her, and their bond was a testament to the enduring power of family ties. Her marriage to Todd Caruso, though ended in divorce, was a significant chapter in her life, one that brought her three wonderful children. A woman of immense talent and warmth, Terry dedicated her life to raising her children and grandchildren, ensuring that each one felt the depth of her love and care. She had a green thumb and a passion for cultivating houseplants, creating a verdant sanctuary that reflected her nurturing spirit. Terry's love for arts and crafts, particularly card making, was a joyful expression of her creativity, bringing smiles to those who were fortunate enough to receive her handmade treasures. Terry worked diligently for herself, cleaning houses and taking great pride in her ability to provide for her family. Her work ethic was matched only by her kindness and patience, virtues that earned her the affectionate title of "superwoman" among her family and friends. Her sweet nature and gentle spirit left an indelible mark on all who knew her, and her fingerprints are forever imprinted on the hearts of many. A celebration of Terry's life will be held on what would have been her 63rd birthday, May 10, 2026, at 10:00 AM at Bluebird Springs in Homosassa, Florida. Family and friends are invited to gather in remembrance of a life well-lived and a woman much loved. In honoring Terry's legacy, let us remember her not only for the years she lived but for the love she gave, the lives she touched, and the beautiful memories she created. Her spirit will continue to bloom in the hearts of those who were privileged to be part of her world.
