Terry Gilbert Nelson, 72 of Baltimore, MD, passed away Tuesday, October 19, 2021 at John's Hopkins Hospital, Baltimore, MD.

Born in Elkton, MD, on May 14, 1949, she was the daughter of the late Virgil and Ann (Foster) Gilbert.  

Prior to her retirement, Terry taught school at Charlestown, Bainbridge, Gilpin Manor, Kenmore and Thompson Estates Elementary Schools. 

Terry had a stroke 21 years ago and we almost lost her then. She fought to live and although she was in a wheelchair and had trouble speaking you could always figure out what she wanted you to know. 

Rick and Terry loved to travel. Santa Fe was one of her favorite places to visit. She also loved penguins and springer spaniels.

He was the best caregiver, husband and friend to Terry. We thank him every day for taking care of Terry.  Terry may you Rest in Peace. We will miss you and will raise a glass of red wine tonight for you. Terry loved her red wine.

She is survived by her loving husband of 33 years: Richard “Rick’ Nelson; and her cousins: Michael Foster of Elkton, MD, Judith Tanner of Elkton, MD and Cynthia Foster of Chestertown, MD.

In addition to her parents, Terry was preceded in death by her brother: Charles L. "Huck" Gilbert.
