(FRANKLIN, WI AND ROCKWALL, TX) – Terri Lynn Jones, 68, passed away unexpectedly at Ascension SE Wisconsin Hospital – Franklin Campus on Sunday, December 11, 2022.
She was born in Great Lakes, IL on December 10, 1954, the daughter of the late Burton and Janet (nee Jeppesen) Kintzler. She grew up in Racine and graduated from Washington Park High School. She also attended Carthage College.
Terri married Murray A. Jones in the A.F. Siebert Chapel at Carthage College on September 24, 1994. Together they owned a small business, and Terri was essential to its long-term success. Terri was an innovator, well respected, leader and role model for all she worked with and for.
Terri was happiest in the company of her family, especially her grandchildren, of whom she was incredibly proud. She focused her time and energy on bringing joy and love to others and creating experiences for her family to be together; Christmas gatherings with an abundance of food and gifts, a pool in her backyard for grandkids and friends to swim anytime, Panama City Beach vacations and “Camp Poetry” Thanksgiving weekends. She enjoyed shopping with her sister, attending NASCAR races in their motorhome and traveling, including a recent trip to visit relatives in Denmark.
In addition to her husband Murray, she is survived by her children, Katie (Bret) Wagner and Brett (Nicole) Hauch; her cherished grandchildren, Jack, Soren, Nolan, and Annika; her sister, Julie (Don) Hansen; her favorite nephew, Jacob Hansen; the father of her children, Tom Hauch; her aunt and uncle, Elaine Kintzler and Dick Jeppesen; her step-children, Chris Jones, Scott (Krystal) Jones, Steven (Amy) Jones and numerous step grandchildren. Terri was also preceded in death by her granddaughter, Kennedy Wagner.

My thoughts and prayers are with Terri and her family.
Terri was kind and helpful, despite being a competitor in business (maybe she knew I really wasn’t much competition to her 🙂
She was also one of the first to congratulate me when I started my own company!
Just a few examples of her character!

I’m still trying to process the fact that my beautiful friend is gone. Terri was a tremendous friend and always so caring. She was so proud of her children and grandchildren. We met 21 years ago at Texas Motor Speedway. She and Murray were camped next to us and Terri and I had on the exact same UPS Dale Jarrett jacket. Then we traveled together for many years to NASCAR races in Atlanta, Talladega and of course Texas. I will never forget Terri and her smile and beautiful lips. We had our special song, True Love Ways, that she and I always danced to. I know her Dad loved it, too. My heart goes out to Murray, Julie, Katie & Bret, Brett & Nicole, Steven & Amy, Scott and all her grandchildren. She loved you all dearly. ❤️

Terri Kintzler was my first close friend. We grew up together on Hayes Avenue. We played together every day for years and walked to and from SC Johnson School and then Mitchell Jr High School. I was welcome in the Kintzler family and specifically remember being introduced to aebleskeever by her Danish grandmother. We played many imaginary games, dolls, Barbies, monopoly, cards, rode bikes, rollerskated, iceskated and played at Humble Park and Pierce Woods. All my life, I would wake up on December 10 and say, “Today is Terri’s birthday”.
Even though we were not in touch for many years, I hold Terri’s spirit in my heart and was so very very fortunate to have been her childhood friend.
