We are saddened to share the news of the passing of Lois Terry, a dedicated member of the Hudson Valley Community College community for nearly 30 years. Lois served in the Mathematics Department and the Computer Learning Center, and was deeply involved in campus life throughout her career.
Lois made a lasting impact through her long-standing service on the Curriculum Committee, including many years as co-chair. She led the committee with a steady hand and was instrumental in the college-wide adoption of Curriculog, continuing to serve as an invaluable resource even after her retirement.
Her leadership and contributions were widely recognized with the 2009 SUNY Chancellor’s Award for Excellence in Faculty Service and the 2013 Marco J. Silvestri Award, which honors exceptional service to the Academic Senate and the college’s mission.
Services for Lois will be held on Thursday, Aug. 14, at St. Jude the Apostle Church in Wynantskill. The wake will take place from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., followed by a funeral mass at 1 p.m.
The full obituary is available on the Wynantskill Funeral Home website: Obituary for Lois Terry – Wynantskill Funeral Home.
Lois will be remembered with deep appreciation for her service, leadership and lasting contributions to HVCC.
