Annalisa Marie Terrell, age 57 of Cedarville, passed away Friday, February 3, 2023 at the Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center surrounded by her loved ones. She had vigilantly battled cancer twice, being diagnosed with Hodgkin's Lymphoma in 1986 and Breast Cancer in 2004. In March of 2022, she was diagnosed with the secondary effects of her previous treatments and ultimately succumbed to these complications.

Annalisa was born in Xenia on January 4, 1966, the daughter of Barbara Elizabeth (Keihl) and Joseph Carlton Fenner, who survive. She is also survived by her devoted husband, Paul M. Terrell, whom she married May 3, 1986; children: Michael Dale (Sara)Terrell of Cedarville; Nicole Marie (Edward) Jackson of Springfield; and James Nathaniel (Kirsten) Terrell of Fairfield, OH; 8 grandchildren: Wyatt Jolliffe, Nathan Terrell, Logan Jolliffe, Kendall Terrell, Eli Terrell, Ethan Jackson, Grace Terrell, and Bailee Jackson; siblings: Amanda Fenner of Cedarville; Bill (Cristy) Fenner of Lynchburg; and Mary Elizabeth Fenner (Jeff Hessell) of Beavercreek; as well as a host of other relatives and friends.

Annalisa graduated from Cedarville High School Class of 1984. She was a preschool teacher for 29 years, spending 21 years with the pre-toddlers at A1 Wright Field North. She enjoyed camping, fishing and being outdoors. Annalisa was a passionate cook and well known for her Christmas cookies and Broken Glass candy that she made every year starting at Thanksgiving, and generously giving to her friends and neighbors. She was always thinking of others. Shortly after her passing, her family found writings that she had left specifically for them, including her thoughts and wishes and expressions of her deep love for each one of them. Also included were her prayer lists not only for her family but random people that she had prayed for over the years.
