She married Kenny Jacob on November 17, 1990. In their early years of marriage Kenny and Terie loved to camp and spend time in the Black Hills together. They also attended the Sturgis rally and Friday nights at the racetrack.

When she was young, Terie developed a love for flowers and gardening. She enjoyed her time working at Jolly Lane Greenhouse. She also loved children and worked as a child care provider for many years. She was later employed by the Rapid City School District where she worked in several roles.
