Terri was born Terri Frances Pollock in Deland, Fla. on February 19, 1963, the daughter of Dorothy Elizabeth Rouse Pollock and Jerome Ray Pollock. Terri left this world unexpectedly at the young age of 51 on Tuesday, November 18, 2014.
Terry lived in North Georgia for a number of years, before moving back to Deland, Fla. around the age of 16. It was there that she finished high school, met and married Gene Castaldo. Their two sons, Justin and Joshua, were born in Florida. Gene and Terri ultimately went their separate ways.
