Teryl Ann Voltz, age 43, died unexpectedly at her home, 21541 Church Street, Venango, PA on Friday, September 4, 2009. Born on May 3, 1966 in Fairfax, VA, she was a daughter of Jean Kesling Voltz and the late Theodore Augustus Voltz. She had lived in Venango all of her life. She graduated from Cambridge Springs High School in 1984 and in July of that year she married Ronald Leslie, Jr.
A home maker, Teryl had a fascination for writing the day-to-day events of her life in journals and in diaries. She read many books on the subject of self-help and had an interest in gymnastics both in doing them and the desire to teach them. Her greatest joy was her two children. Her many nieces and nephews will always fondly remember her presence at the families annual cousins day.
Surviving Teryl are her two children – Casey Lynn Leslie of Moorsville, NC and Kayla Leslie of Mt. Ulla, NC; her mother – Jean Voltz of Venango; her companion – Don Merritt, Jr. of Venango and her former husband – Ronald Leslie, Jr of Moorsville, NC. She is also survived by five sisters – Renee Miller of Cambridge Springs, Kim Throop of Venango, Denette Voltz of St. Port Lucie, FL, Marcy Voltz of Venango, and Shannon Peck of Cambridge Springs.
No public visitation or funeral services are being planned at this time. Cremation will take place. Arrangements are under the direction of the Van Matre Family Funeral Home in Cambridge Springs.
Our heartfelt sympathy to Terri’s Mom and Sisters and loved ones for your loss. And to Casey and Kayla, keep your heads up and know that your Mom would want you to remember her and live your lives to the fullest.
Bob, Gail and Shane Waterhouse
