Terri Ann Bruch, 61, of Virginia Beach, VA, passed away peacefully at home on March 12, 2025. She was born on April 2, 1963, in Maine to Robert and MaryHelen Davis.
Terri was the beloved wife of George William Bruch, the love of her life. They met at the submarine base in Groton, CT, while George was serving in the Navy and married on September 2, 1989. Together, they shared 35 wonderful years of marriage filled with love, laughter, and cherished memories.
For over 20 years, Terri dedicated herself to her career at the Navy Exchange HQ, where she made lasting friendships and took pride in her work. Outside of her career, she had a passion for crafting, antiquing, thrifting, and gardening—maintaining both a beautiful flower and vegetable garden. She was also a devoted member of a scrapbooking club and treasured her summer vacations in Maine and special trips with her sister, Bonnie.
Terri is survived by her parents, MaryHelen and Robert E. Davis of Ellsworth, Maine, her devoted husband, George, and their five children: Erica (William) Wilburn, Michelle (Dixson) Gossom, Megan Field, Ashley (Kyle) Everard, and Pam (Daniel) Motes. She is also survived by her sister, Bonnie Mouland; brothers, Troy (Kathy) Davis and Kenny (Erlin) Davis; and her 14 beloved grandchildren: Channing (Christina), Parker, Ashden, Alexandria (Destin), Benjamin, Michael, Lizzy, Nathan, Claire, Lilly, Katelyn, Robyn, Robbie, and Jenna.
A memorial service will be held on Saturday, March 29, at 2:00 PM at Altmeyer Funeral Home Southside Chapel, 5033 Rouse Dr., Virginia Beach, VA 23456, with a reception immediately following the service.
