Teresa Arelene (Graham) Shellhamer, "Teri", was born October 1st, 1954 in Bellingham, WA to Burton and Jeri Graham. After 9 months of battling ovarian cancer, Teri entered the joy of her Lord on March 18th, 2026 with her husband and son holding her hands and daughter her feet until she was in Jesus' embrace.

To be known by Teri was to be loved by her. Her faith was evident to all, her smile and glow infectious, her countenance and grace welcoming. She was one of a kind, and will be greatly missed.

Teri is survived by her husband Bruce; daughter Nicole (David); son Morgan (Danielle); the delights of her Yaya heart, grandchildren Kenton, Marianne, James, Johnnie and Hannah; father Burt; sister Linda (John); bother Tom (Jan); nieces and nephews, great-nieces and great-nephews; numerous beloved friends like-family. She was preceded in death by her mother, Jeri.

Teri's family would like to express their deep appreciation for the best nursing staff anyone could ask for at Providence/Swedish Hospital in Everett, and a doctor who has a great gift at really seeing her patients and their families. We cannot say enough about how well looked after Teri was in her last days here on Earth.

To honor Teri, love the ones you love well. If you'd like to make a tangible donation in her honor, her family suggests:
