Terri Banzet

Terri Dene Powell Banzet passed at her Odessa home on Wednesday, Dec. 23, 2015 after a nearly two - year battle with two different forms of leukemia.

In her youth, Terri was an accomplished athlete. A basketball player at Odessa High in the late 1970's, she achieved her greatest success on the softball fields. As a shortstop and perennial Odessa All-Star, she was once named Miss Texas in the Miss Softball America Program, a fast-pitch league for teens.

Later in life she was an avid horsewoman and took great joy in riding.

A tenacious competitor in all things she pursued, she took great joy in showering others with special Christmas gifts. Few people loved as fiercely or gave as generously as she did.

She is survived by her father, Pat Powell of Odessa, three children, Jason Banzet of Odessa, Josh Shibler of San Antonio and Ami Foster of Ohio. She also leaves behind four grandchildren whom she loved with all her heart; Cade Foster, Caylee Foster, Kinzley Foster and Jaxon Banzet. She is also survived by one sister, Shelia Brunner of Flatonia and one brother, Gene Powell of Gardendale.

Visitation is scheduled from 6 - 8 pm Tuesday at Sunset Memorial Gardens and Funeral Home. Services are scheduled at 1 pm Wednesday at Sunset Memorial with burial following at Resthaven Memorial Park in Midland.

Arrangements are under the direction of Sunset Memorial Gardens and Funeral Home. To send family condolences please sign the guest registry at www.sunsetodessa.com
