Terry Wilson was born in Roseburg,

Oregon then moved to Washington State

in 1980.

Terry has been coming to the Beacon

for 14 years. He says Tai Chi was what

caught his interest when he first started

coming in but eventually Terry would

become a dedicated volunteer.

Enjoying the many activities and

delicious lunches are what Terry says he

likes about Beacon the most. Terry

enjoys all manner of sports and use to

play basketball in his youth.

With a vast knowledge of the Beacon

center and his helpful nature, Terry

ensures that the Beacon runs smoothly

and that everyone here is happy. With his

camera, Terry has captured some of the

greatest moments here at the Beacon

throughout the years.

We are fortunate to have Terry Wilson as a Beacon member.

“Women are leaders everywhere

you look -- from the CEO who runs

a Fortune 500 company to the

housewife who raises her children

and heads her household. Our

country was built by strong women

and we will continue to break down

walls and defy stereotypes.”

– Nancy Pelosi
