Teresa Marie Hager, affectionately known as Terrie, passed away in the arms of love on December 3, 2023, at the age of 57, in Hohenwald, Tennessee. She was born on November 21, 1966, in Dayton, Ohio to the late James Michael and Martha Botkin.

Terrie was a believer in family. She was a giver at heart, always putting the needs of others before her own. Her generous spirit was shown in the way she cared for those she loved, making her a special woman in the lives of many. Terrie had a love for metal and 80’s rock music, a source of joy and energy in her life. She cherished her friendships deeply, especially the bond she shared with her “adopted kids” at Walmart. She was as proud of them as she was of her own children. She will be deeply missed and forever cherished by all who had the privilege of knowing her.

In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her beloved husband, James Hager.

Terrie leaves behind to cherish her memory, her children, Amanda (Justin) Kramer and Dustin Youngblood; her sister and best friend, Candice (Jeff Tanner) Wright; her brother, James Botkin; one grandchild; her father-in-law and mother-in-law, Carl and Pat Peach; her sisters-in-law, Teresa Toral and Sharon Hager; and her Walmart family.

There are currently no services scheduled.

McDonald Funeral Home is honored to be serving the Hager family.
